Choosing the Right Wood Shavings – The First Step to a Poultry Farm
When it comes to poultry farming, success doesn’t just depend on feed quality or breed genetics — it starts right under the birds’ feet. Bedding plays a key role in keeping the floor dry, reducing ammonia smell, improving air quality, and preventing disease. In other words, good bedding supports healthy chickens and better profits.
But not all wood shavings are created equal.
Today, most poultry farms choose between Mixed Wood Shaving and Pine Wood Shaving. At first glance, they may look similar: soft, dry shavings that cover the floor. But in practice, they perform very differently.
Mixed Wood Shaving is made from a combination of wood types—often rubber, acacia, and pine. While it is lower in cost, its quality can vary a lot between batches. You might get some that are dusty, rough, or inconsistent in size. Over time, this can lead to poor moisture control and higher ammonia levels, both of which are harmful to chickens.
Pine Wood Shaving, on the other hand, is made from 100% natural pine. It has a bright color, soft texture, and a natural scent that helps reduce odor. Pine is known for its high absorbency and antibacterial properties, making it ideal for maintaining a dry and healthy poultry environment.
In the next section, we’ll compare both products side-by-side—so you can choose the one that fits your farm’s needs best.
