The deep-litter stall does, however, have the highest straw requirement — up to 15 kg per animal per day, compared to the treading-manure stall at 3 to 5 kg, and the bedded cubicle loose-housing at 0.5 to 1 kg. In the interest of solid manure preparation and thereby the minimisation of slurry production, the quantities of bedding in the treading-manure and cubicle loose-housing stalls can be increased accordingly. A combination of tie-stall housing — for feeding and tending — with overnight stay in the deep-litter stall reduces the straw requirement. The topmost bedding layers of the deep-litter stall, the lying mattress, warm themselves to approximately 30°C and pass through the first phase of the compost heap — the warmth phase — with moderate material breakdown. Through the treading of the animals, the bedding layers lying beneath compact themselves; they cool and pass over into fermentation processes; under exclusion of air they become subject increasingly to a fermentation. Analogous to phase 2 of the compost heap, the rampant proliferation of the microbes is
