For chickens we recommend a bedding thickness of about 30mm, while for horses a thickness of around 70mm is suggested. These recommendations align with the preferences of horse owners and chicken farmers, ensuring adequate comfort, moisture absorption, odor control, and ease of cleaning. However, we understand that individual preferences and circumstances may vary, so these suggestions are intended as guidance based on our years of experience.
For chickens at about 30mm thick, it will cover a surface of around 5 square meters. For horses and other large animals at about 70mm thick, it will cover around 3 square meters.
At Red Orchard Shavings, we use industrial rotary dryers heated with natural gas to produce consistently dry shavings with nearly zero moisture, meeting our clients' stringent requirements. This heated drying process also kills most bacteria, making the shavings much safer for use. Unlike some competitors, we do not kiln-dry wood logs before producing shavings, as this negatively affects the final product.
Without a doubt - Our manufacturing and drying process eliminates all dust from our product. By producing our Shavings from only pre-inspected wood logs from forestries, this ensures you will not find any unwanted surprises in our quality Shavings.
We manufacture Shavings from wood received directly from forestries, it does not come from a wood by-product such as from sawmills. We use Pure Pinewood for our shavings sourced directly from the forestries, at no point during the manufacturing process do we use any chemicals.
Most definitely. At Red Orchard Shavings we proud ourselves in the fact that we have our own delivery fleet, and that we have partnered with other logistic companies to ensure we can deliver country wide and to our neighboring countries.
