Why wood shaving is the best choice for animal bedding?

Shavings quality cattle bedding needs to be non-abrasive, dry, highly absorbent, not produce dust clouds, keep cows clean and comfortable, and handle well in the slurry system.

As for horse bedding, pine shavings not only smell great due to the natural odor-absorbing oils, but they also have antibacterial and ammonia-reducing properties. Other species also have benefits, but the one you want to avoid completely is black walnut, as it can cause equine colitis. Cedar is also not recommended as it does not break down easily and some horses may have skin sensitivities to it.

Shavings offer 100% natural, dust-free horse bedding for any farmer, developed and manufactured specifically to help keep your horse healthy, happy, and comfortable in the barn.
