PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a stable inexpensive and granular excreta treatment material for an animal, having a moderately dehumidifying function, water absorbency, an ability to remove ammonia smell, and an ability to inhibit proliferation of microorganisms.SOLUTION: A dried coated granular material includes a granular core containing an organic fiber material waste and a material having adhesiveness, and an adhesive coating layer containing a material coating at least a part of the granular core. The granular excreta treatment material for the animal is obtained by compounding the dried coated granular material with a calcium chloride-containing activated carbonized material.COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT【課題】適度に除湿機能を有し、吸水性、アンモニア臭の除去能力、微生物の増殖抑制能力を有する安定した廉価な粒状の動物用排泄物処理材を提供すること。【解決手段】有機質繊維材料廃棄物及び接着性を有する材料を含有する粒状芯部並びに該粒状芯部の少なくとも一部を覆い接着性を有する材料を含有する被覆層部を備える乾燥被覆粒状物であって、該乾燥被覆粒状物に塩化カルシウム含有活性炭化物を配合したことを特徴とする粒状の動物用排泄物処理材。【選択図】なし
