A method of producing granular excreta treating material utilizes an extrusion type compressive granulating apparatus configured to produce granular excreta treating material that has an absorbing property and is formed by extruding and granulating a raw material via a granulating hole of the apparatus. The granulating hole includes a small diameter hole and a large diameter hole which are continuous to each other in the axial direction of the hole, in which the small diameter hole forms a compression zone, and the large diameter hole forms a non-compression zone, and in which the raw material is compressed at the compression zone, swells at the non-compression zone, and is cut into granules by a cutting blade rotating along an outlet surface of the non-compression zone.
