An improved method for evaluating hardwood animal bedding products.
Technological improvements have led to the development of higher quality hardwood bedding products with lower dust content. Nevertheless, testing procedures used to evaluate the quality of laboratory animal bedding products have not kept pace, resulting in the continued use of flawed and outdated test methods. The present study was conducted to develop an improved method for evaluating the quality of hardwood animal bedding products.
