Animal bedding having one or more solvents and a lignocellulosic fiber, wherein the lignocellulosic fiber has been processed by ruminant digestion and anaerobic digestion. A method for preparing pelletized animal bedding is also disclosed including the steps of providing excrement from a cow which has undergone ruminant digestion, introducing the cow excrement into an anaerobic digester, modifying the cow excrement to a first wet product, drying the first wet product to generate a first dry product, and densifying the first dry product to, in turn, generate pelletized animal bedding.

1. Animal bedding, comprising: at least one solvent;a lignocellulosic fiber, wherein the lignocellulosic fiber has been processed by ruminant digestion and anaerobic digestion, and wherein average particle size of the lignocellulosic fiber is less than approximately 10 microns; and further wherein the density fiber of the animal bedding ranges from approximately 0.950 grams per cubic centimeter to approximately 1.40 grams per cubic centimeter. 2. The animal bedding according to claim 1, wherein the at least one solvent comprises water. 3. The animal bedding according to claim 1, wherein the at least one solvent is present in a concentration of less than approximately 70% by weight. 4. The animal bedding according to claim 1, wherein the at least one solvent is present in a concentration of less than approximately 50% by weight. 5. The animal bedding according to claim 1, wherein the lignocellulosic fiber compromises processed lignin, hemicellulose, and cellulose. 6. The animal bedding according to claim 1, wherein the pH of the animal bedding is alkaline. 7. The animal bedding according to claim 1, wherein the pH of the animal bedding ranges from greater than approximately 8 to less than approximately 10.5. 8. The animal bedding according to claim 1, wherein the animal bedding is pelletized. 9. The animal bedding according to claim 8, wherein the specific density of the animal bedding pellets ranges from approximately 0.400 grams per cubic centimeter to approximately 0.850 grams per cubic centimeter. 10. The animal bedding according to claim 8, wherein the at least one solvent is present in a concentration of less than approximately 25% by weight. 11. The animal bedding according to claim 8, further comprising an odor suppressant. 12. The animal bedding according to claim 11, wherein the odor suppressant comprises an organic ester. 13. The animal bedding according to claim 1, further comprising 3-amino-7-dimethylamino-2-methylphenazine hydrochloride. 14. The animal bedding according to claim 1, further comprising 3,3-bis(4-hydroxy-2-methyl-5-propan-2-ylphenyl)-2-benzofuran-1-one. 15. The animal bedding according to claim 1, wherein the lignocellulosic fiber is present in a concentration of greater than approximately 40% by weight. 16. The animal bedding according to claim 1, wherein the lignocellulosic fiber is present in a concentration of greater than approximately 50% by weight. 17. Pelletized animal bedding derived from cow excrement, comprising: at least one pellet comprising a solvent and a lignocellulosic fiber, wherein the lignocellulosic fiber has been processed by ruminant cow digestion and anaerobic digestion, and wherein the specific density of the animal bedding pellets ranges from approximately 0.400 grams per cubic centimeter to approximately 0.850 grams per cubic centimeter, and further wherein the at least one solvent is present in a concentration of less than approximately 25% by weight. 18. A method for preparing pelletized animal bedding, comprising the steps of: providing excrement from a cow which has undergone ruminant digestion;introducing the cow excrement into an anaerobic digester;modifying the cow excrement to a first wet product;drying the first wet product to generate a first dry product; anddensifying the first dry product to, in turn, generate pelletized animal bedding; wherein the specific density of the animal bedding pellets ranges from approximately 0.400 grams per cubic centimeter to approximately 0.850 grams per cubic centimeter, and further wherein the at least one solvent is present in a concentration of less than approximately 25% by weight. 19. The method according to claim 18, further comprising the step of bleaching the first dry product before the step of densifying the first dry product.
