What are the benefits of wood shavings as animal bedding？

Wood shaving machine is a kind of mechanical equipment specially used to process wood into shavings. It can mass-produce thin shavings with uniform thickness. This kind of shaving machine is usually equipped with fully automatic feeding equipment, which can greatly increase the production speed while saving time and manpower. Wood shaving machine is suitable for a variety of wood, such as poplar, mulberry, miscellaneous wood and waste wood, etc.

Wood shavings produced by wood shavings can be used for a variety of purposes, such as bedding for horse farms and chicken farms, or as raw materials for particleboard (plywood) and wood pulp paper in paper mills, and even as bioenergy.

Wood Shavings bedding is a common animal bedding. It is mainly made of wood and has many advantages, such as strong water absorption, deodorization, health and comfort, and easy cleaning.

1. Provide comfortable bedding
Shavings bedding has good water absorption, can effectively absorb animal excrement, keep cages clean and dry, reduce ammonia concentration, and provide a suitable temperature and living environment.

2. Promote animal health
Due to the absorbency and dryness of wood shavings, it helps reduce the growth of bacteria and fungi and the risk of animal disease. At the same time, wood shavings are not easy to adhere to the fur of animals, keeping the appearance of animals neat and tidy, which is beneficial to the health and welfare of animals.

3. Improve animal behavior
Using wood shavings can meet the natural behavioral needs of animals, such as nesting. Wood shavings are block-shaped, suitable for animals to make nests during the breeding period, satisfying their nature, and contributing to the psychological health and reproductive success of animals.

4. Cost-effectiveness
Wood shavings are abundant, cheap and easy to obtain, and wood shavings machines can efficiently process wood into shavings, reducing production costs. At the same time, the lightweight nature of wood shavings means that its usage is relatively small at the same volume, further saving the cost of use.

5. Environmentally sustainable
Wood shavings are usually made from waste scraps from wood processing plants, which not only reduces the generation of waste, but also realizes the reuse of resources. In addition, wood shavings are biodegradable and can be naturally decomposed after use, which is environmentally friendly.

• Poplar wood shavings bedding

Poplar wood shavings bedding is a popular animal bedding, especially for rodents and rabbits. It is characterized by being able to meet the natural instincts of experimental animals to build nests and hide, and is not easily eaten by mistake, making it suitable for breeding animals during the breeding period. Poplar wood shavings bedding uses high-quality poplar wood as raw material, and after secondary screening to remove dust and impurities, it has its own log fragrance. This bedding is irradiated and sterilized by default, and is suitable for SPF and clean animal rooms.

• Corn cob shavings bedding

Corn cob shavings bedding performs better in terms of water absorption and drying, and dries faster than shavings bedding. In addition, corn cob bedding has a lower powder rate, is not easy to break, and is non-toxic to mice. Under conventional feeding conditions, corn cob bedding is considered to be a more ideal bedding for experimental animals. However, during the breeding period of experimental animals, because shavings bedding is in block form and more suitable for animals to make nests, it may be more suitable for use during this period.
