Abstract: A layered bedding configuration installed in a stall for an animal for reducing odors. It comprises: a) a first film of enzyme solution on the floor walls; b) a first layer of enzymatic-bacterial composition on top of the first film of enzyme solution; c) a layer of rice hulls on top of the first layer of enzyme powder, the layer of rice hulls being gradually crushed as the animal moves in the stall; d) a second layer of enzyme powder; e) a second film of enzyme solution on top of the second layer of enzyme powder, wherein the enzyme powder comprises hydrolyzing enzymes, bacteria and bacterial growth medium and wherein the enzyme solution and the enzyme powder act on fecal and urinary materials to reduce odor, and the layer of rice hulls increases its absorbency as a function of the degree that it is crushed by the animal.
