Recycled Cardboard for horse bedding and livestock animal bedding

Eco friendly animal bedding is gradually becoming a popular choice. This type of animal bedding is beneficial to the environment as well and can be made out of corrugated cardboard chips, sticks or shredded paper. Results from scientific research show that cardboard bedding is the best suited for horse bedding, particularly when dealing with cases of allergies or breathing problems. The Journal of Equine Veterinary Science recommends using recycled cardboard for horse bedding for prevention and treatment of horses with COPD, breathing problems or allergies.

Cardboard bedding is super absorbent, cost effective, light and easy to handle. The Canadian Equine Research Council research reports reveal that cardboard bedding is found to be 5 times more absorbent than wood shavings, 6 times more absorbent than straw bedding and twice more absorbent than hemp bedding. Shredded, recycled cardboard can be used for horse bedding, bedding for game and poultry, farm stable bedding, or any livestock animal bedding.

Benefits of using recycled cardboard for animal bedding

This is environmentally correct as it is made from a renewable source and can be re-used as packaging filler.

Shredded cardboard has natural insulation which helps keep the animals warm during colder months.

It has no food contamination, or cross contamination from oils and chemicals and hence can be safely used for animal bedding.

The high absorbency factor in shredded cardboard bedding helps liquid waste flow quickly down to the floor level where the bottom layers start absorbing immediately. This leaves the surface layers absolutely dry.

Cardboard bedding is odorless and can remarkably reduce the amount of ammonia which builds up in stables and farms.

This type of bedding is dust-free and is very beneficial for animals with respiratory problems such as COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease). It is produced using special shredding machinery that extracts dust before bagging, making this environmentally friendly animal bedding virtually dust, seed and spore free, thereby reducing airborne allergens.

The unique design of the cardboard animal bedding imitates the natural interlocking framework of straw when spread out in the stable and this makes it long lasting.

Cardboard bedding is soft and provides comfort to the animals and compresses easily.

This eco-friendly animal bedding is easy to handle and will not stick to the animals or any clothing.

Cardboard animal bedding is 100% bio-degradable and complete breakdown usually takes between 8-12 weeks depending on weather conditions. This can be applied directly to land and gardens as an excellent soil fertilizer.

Shredded corrugated cardboard animal bedding is economical over other traditional alternatives like hemp chips or wood shavings or rubber matting.

Recycled Cardboard Animal Bedding is the best choice

For equines or any other farm animals a healthy, clean and happy environment is quintessential. The cardboard animal bedding is designed to make animal, poultry and game maintenance and mucking out much easier, cleaner and healthier. Using shredded cardboard for animal bedding is the best way to conserve raw materials, reduce energy consumption and emissions of greenhouse gases.
