Vermiculite as an interspersing medium in poultry, cattle and pig rearing
Vermiculite as an interspersing medium in chick breeding or as cat
litter. The absorbed vermiculite improves the digestion (grinding in a
chicken's stomach) of the food and supports the healthy growth process
of chicks.
Interspersing medium
Due to the release of minerals and trace elements contained
in vermiculite, the immune system is strengthened. Due to the brittle
surface structure of vermiculite, the soft, light feathers remain
hanging under the breast feathers of birds.
Mixed with other mineral components, vermiculite serves as an interspersing medium in bedding for poultry, cattle, pigs and other animals.

- Absorbs moisture (up to 600 %) and therefore dries bedding areas or piglet nests
- Reduces germs
- Dries the calf or piglet skin after birth
- Has a warmth insulating effect and therefore prevents the reduction in body temperature (see reptile breeding)
- Mucous loosening effect on newly born piglets due to the brittle surface of vermiculite
- Binds pollutants, ammoniacs and improves the air quality in the stable
- Vermiculite is ph-neutral and skin friendly
- Vermiculite is healthy and safe and can therefore be used without restrictions (see vermiculite as a feed and carrier substance)
- Vermiculite and completely germ-free and therefore ensures healthy breeding
