In the context of modern agriculture increasingly focusing on sustainability and efficiency, Mixed Wood Shavings have emerged as an ideal alternative to traditional straw. Produced from by-products of the furniture manufacturing industry, these shavings offer both economic benefits and environmental advantages. At Agroviet, we take pride in providing high-quality mixed wood shavings that meet diverse needs, from livestock farming to green energy production. Let’s explore why this product is becoming a global favorite!
What Are Mixed Wood Shavings?
Mixed wood shavings are small wood particles generated during the processing of wood in furniture manufacturing plants. These shavings are derived from various natural and industrial wood types, such as pine, rubber, and acacia, ensuring versatility and high quality. The modern production process guarantees uniform size and consistency, making them suitable for multiple applications, from livestock bedding to raw material for wood pellet production.
The standout feature of mixed wood shavings is their sustainable origin. Instead of being discarded, wood by-products from the furniture industry are repurposed into a valuable product, reducing waste and protecting the environment. With their clean composition, minimal impurities, and ease of use, Agroviet’s mixed wood shavings have become the top choice for modern farmers and businesses.

Why Are Mixed Wood Shavings So Popular?
1. A Sustainable Straw Replacement
Traditional straw has long been used as bedding material in livestock farming, but its drawbacks—such as poor moisture absorption, odor retention, and slow decomposition—make it less effective for modern agriculture. Mixed wood shavings overcome these limitations with superior moisture absorption, keeping livestock environments dry and clean. Additionally, they are biodegradable, minimizing environmental impact.
Using mixed wood shavings supports a circular economy by repurposing wood by-products that would otherwise be discarded. This reduces waste from the furniture industry and helps preserve natural resources. As a result, mixed wood shavings are recognized as a sustainable solution for eco-conscious farming and livestock management.
2. Versatile Applications
Mixed wood shavings are not limited to livestock bedding; they have a wide range of applications across industries. In farming, they serve as an excellent bedding material for cattle, poultry, and other livestock, reducing odors, controlling bacteria, and creating a comfortable environment. Their low moisture content and minimal impurities ensure safety for animal health.
Beyond agriculture, mixed wood shavings are a key raw material in the production of wood pellets, a renewable biofuel used in industrial and domestic heating systems. Their versatility makes them indispensable in both farming and the green energy sector, catering to the growing demand for sustainable materials.
3. Consistent Quality and Ease of Use
At Agroviet, we adhere to strict production and quality control processes to ensure our mixed wood shavings meet the highest standards. The shavings are processed to remove impurities and dust, with moisture levels kept at a maximum of 12% to extend shelf life and maintain hygiene. Their uniform size facilitates easy handling, packaging, and transportation.
Our mixed wood shavings are packaged in Jumbo bags (500-600kg) or compressed blocks (55x35x30cm), optimizing space and reducing transportation costs. A 40’HC container can hold up to 24 tons of product, making it ideal for large-scale distribution and export. This convenience allows customers to seamlessly integrate the product into their farming or manufacturing processes.
4. Economic Value and Efficiency
Compared to straw, mixed wood shavings offer superior economic value due to their affordability and high performance. They are durable and, in some cases, reusable, helping farmers and businesses reduce operational costs. With a stable supply chain from furniture manufacturing plants, Agroviet ensures competitive pricing and consistent quality for our customers.
Moreover, using mixed wood shavings helps businesses optimize their supply chains and reduce reliance on traditional materials with inconsistent quality. This makes them an ideal choice for companies aiming to enhance production efficiency and meet international environmental and sustainability standards.
