The benefits of corrugated cardboard animal
bedding
There are many
benefits of corrugated cardboard bedding, compared with other materials:
- Cost Effective - due to the high absorbency
levels of the bedding, not all of the bedding needs to be changed. Remove the
manure and saturated parts, then just mix in fresh bedding. The cardboard is
not at all palatable to animals, so making it unlikely to be
eaten.
- Easy To Use - easier to handle than straw and wood
shavings. The contents of a bale of bedding flows out very easily saving time
and effort when mucking out.
- Dust Free - due to dust extraction during
our stringent manufacturing process, the finished corrugated cardboard bedding
is virtually free from dust. Research has shown that respiratory problems in
animals - including C.O.P.D (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) can be
reduced by using corrugated cardboard bedding.
- Contaminate Free - as we only use clean
uncontaminated cardboard the resulting bedding provides a healthy option,
compared with newspaper and straw.
- Highly Adsorbent -
corrugated cardboard bedding is much more absorbent than straw and wood
shavings. Large quantities of liquid are absorbed rapidly, resulting in
cleaner drier beds and a healthier and happier environment for your
animals.
- Eliminates Odours - the high
absorbency levels help eliminate odours.
- Long Lasting - trampling by animals does not cause the bedding to
crumble or disintegrate, so the bedding has a longer
life.
- Warm and Springy - the
corrugated nature of the cardboard traps air within its layers, giving the
bedding a high level of insulation. This results in a warm springy bed for the
animals.
- Biodegradable - after use, cardboard bedding can be incorporated into
the ground where it breaks down more quickly than straw and wood shavings.
