About Paper Shavings Animal Bedding
Paper Shavings originates directly from publishing companies as directory waste. They DO NOT use old telephone books. This provides a consistent readily available supply along with peace of mind that there is no outside contamination in the product that is made.
Research proves that paper is 2 times more absorbent than straw and 4 times more absorbent than wood shavings. The result is reduced ammonia odors which is a severe irritant to the mucous membranes of the eyes and respiratory tract. Paper Shavings provides a superior cushion for comfort. Because it clumps, it is easy to pick-up and the wet bedding can easily be removed, leaving a clean, dry environment. Since paper does not support bacterial growth it can be used for foaling. It is also good for horses allergic to wood or straw, with skin disorders or with respiratory conditions.
For disposal, it can be spread on fields and pastures in the manure mixture or also makes excellent compost.

======================================================
For cushion and coverage, 1 bag of Paper Shavings is comparable to 11/2 to 2 bags of wood shavings. The amount of Paper Shavings is a personal preference as to the depth of bedding needed for each individual animal as well as their confinement habits.
One bag will bed a 10x12 stall,even though it may not look that it will be enough, once the animal moves around the bedding will fluff and build volume.
The bags are packed with 12 cu.ft. of bedding.
