The padding is the material that is closely contacted during the feeding and use of experimental animals, which is used to absorb the excreta of animals, reduce the ammonia concentration in the cage, and keep the cage dry. It is an important environmental factor related to the physical health and welfare of experimental animals, affecting the physiological activities of experimental animals, and the accuracy of animal experimental results.

At present, the commonly used bedding types include wood bedding (wood shavings, sawdust), corn cob, straw, recycled paper, new bedding, etc. Among them, wood pad has become the most commonly used contact pad due to its rich resources and cheap availability. Commercialized wood pad products mainly include wood chips and shavings. Relatively speaking, the particleboard pad has the advantages of soft texture, good comfort and water absorption, suitable for nesting, and not easy to adhere to the animal fur to affect the beauty. In order to meet the needs of transportation and storage space, commercialized compressed particle bedding has been developed.

When making wood bedding, avoid using pine and cedar materials with aromatic smell. The aromatic volatile substances emitted from such shavings can induce the activity of liver microparticle enzymes, damage liver cells, greatly interfere with animal experiments in pharmacology and toxicology, and endanger animal health. At present, poplar and birch are the main raw materials used in the production of particle bedding in China. So what is the difference between the compressed particle padding made of these two raw materials?

Poplar, with fast growth, strong adaptability, good processing performance and wide use of wood, is the preferred tree species for fast-growing and high-yield forests and short-cycle industrial forests in China. It is widely planted in the south and north of China, with relatively rich resources. Birch is a deciduous tree or shrub, which is mainly distributed in Northeast China and North China. Its material is white, texture is straight, structure is fine, and hardness is medium. It is one of the excellent tree species suitable for pulp and paper making. The particleboard padding made of poplar and birch can basically meet the requirements of laboratory animal padding.
