Vermiculite which exists as the product of weathering of certain minerals, such as for example magnesium mica, is used after the technical expansion in a certain particle size smaller than 15 mm, preferably 3-6 mm, and a pouring weight which is smaller than 200 g/l, as an absorbent for animal excreta, for which it has excellent absorption characteristics. The water absorbing capability of the absorbent amounts to 400-600% (g/100g) of the original weight. By the addition of disinfecting agents a litter may be produced having bacteriocidal and fungicidal characteristics. Additionally added surfactant substances make the absorbent readily dispersible, so that it can be flushed without difficulties through e.g. a house toilet. By admixing of gypsum and/or clay powder a certain increase in the specific weight of the litter may be achieved, which thereafter no longer adheres even to very long-haired animal pelts.

An absorbent for animal excreta consisting of vermiculite particles having a particle size smaller than 15 mm and a pouring weight smaller than 200 g/l and particles selected from the group composed of powdered gypsum and powdered clay adhering to said vermiculite particles for weighing down said vermiculite particles so that the vermiculite particles will not adhere to fur of animals.
