The impact of utilizing chopped computer and bond paper as a litter material on growth performance of broilers reared to market age was evaluated. In the first experiment, broilers were placed in pens at 10 birds per square meter, and four different litter treatments were used; 1) 100% chopped computer and bond paper (CCP); 2) a mix of 75% CCP and 25% wood shavings (WS); 3) 50% CCP and 50% WS; 4) 100% WS. Experiment 2 evaluated the same treatments, but with densities of 14 birds per square meter. Litter treatments had no effect on body weight gain, feed consumption, conversion, or mortality for either of the two experiments. No differences were found for percentage litter moisture among treatments. Chopped computer and bond paper alone or mixed in different percentages with WS can be used as an alternate litter material for rearing broilers as long as there is good waterer management, especially with open watering systems. These systems may have the tendency to increase the incidence of litter caking.
评估了使用切碎的电脑打印纸和债券纸作为垫料材料对饲养至上市日龄肉鸡生长性能的影响。在第一个实验中，将肉鸡以每平方米10只的密度放置在围栏中，并使用了四种不同的垫料处理方式；1）100%切碎的电脑打印纸和债券纸（CCP）；2）75% CCP与25%刨花（WS）的混合物；3）50% CCP和50% WS；4）100% WS。实验2评估了相同的处理方式，但密度为每平方米14只。垫料处理对两个实验中的肉鸡体重增加、采食量、转化率或死亡率均无影响。各处理间垫料湿度百分比无差异。只要有良好的饮水管理，尤其是开放式饮水系统，单独使用切碎的电脑打印纸和债券纸或以不同百分比与WS混合，都可以用作饲养肉鸡的替代垫料材料。这些系统可能有增加垫料结块发生率的趋势。
