Paper
Shavings Animal Bedding is a unique alternative
to the standard wood shavings, wood pellets and straw
bedding used for horse stall bedding and livestock bedding.
Manufactured from directory waste paper obtained directly
from publishing companies, it provides a clean,
consistent, readily available supply of
material that is free of contaminants. With special
equipment, the waste paper is processed into very small pieces.
Virtually dust free bedding results from a
vacuum system which extracts dust and tiny particles during the
process.
12 cu ft of loose bedding is
compressed into a 2.75 cu ft bag. The bag is a compact
heat-sealed plastic bag providing short term weatherproof
storage capability. The bag weighs about 30 pounds which is just
the right size for easy handling.
It is highly rated in the factors to consider when choosing
bedding.
- Superior absorbency - 2 times more
absorbent than straw, 4 to 6 times more absorbent than most
wood shavings. Absorbs from the bottom up,
top stays dry so horses remain cleaner
- Very soft-provides excellent cushion
and insulation on hard surfaces which encourages animals to
rest.
- Excellent for animals in rehabilitation from injury or
illness to prevent pressure sores
- Provides cushion for horse's legs in horse trailers
when making long trips
- Reduces ammonia and barn odors causing
less irritation to mucous membranes of the eyes and
respiratory tract - for animals and owners alike!
- Beneficial to foals kept in stalls for extended time who
run the risk of ammonia toxicity
- Non allergenic; great for animals with
allergies and respiratory conditions. Great for animals
with allergic skin conditions.
- Free from oils and acids found in wood bedding
products.
- Free from pollens, mold and fungal spores that may be
found in other bedding
- Non toxic; paper contains only
vegetable oil based ink
- Reduces bedding costs due to ability to
use less. Bedding clumps when wet making
it easy to pick up and remove soiled
bedding, leaving dry bedding in place
- Reported reduction of fly populations
- Biodegradable using standard composting
techniques. The wet bedding/manure mixture may be spread on
fields as an organic fertilizer.
- Also desirable for use in vermicomposting and may be
used for cover mulch and mushroom food.
