Copeaux de bois : idéal pour la litière des chevaux

In horse breeding, selecting the appropriate bedding material is essential, and wood shavings are increasingly favored for horse bedding because of their outstanding qualities. This article will explore the benefits of shavings and how they are produced. We manufacture machines as shown below that can help you process wood shavings.

Advantages of wood shavings

1. Wood shavings are produced from high-quality logs that have been planned, and their unique properties make them an excellent choice for horse bedding. Firstly, shavings are very absorbent, effectively soaking up horse urine and keeping the bedding dry, which helps minimize bacterial growth and lowers the risk of hoof diseases in horses.
2. Secondly, their good air permeability promotes air circulation and reduces moisture and odors within the bedding. Additionally, wood log shavings are less likely to crumble and generate less dust, which is gentler on horses’ eyes and respiratory systems.
3. When compared to other bedding materials like straw and sawdust, wood timber shavings offer advantages such as easy storage, transport, usage, and cleaning. While they may be relatively expensive, their outstanding performance and the benefit of reducing barn cleaning time and labor costs make them the preferred option for an increasing number of professional horse farms.

How to make wood shavings？

1. Preparing the raw material: select high-quality logs and ensure they are free from any harmful substances for horses.
2. Starting the machine: feed the logs into the wood shaver’s inlet and turn on the machine. The knife rollers will begin to spin, shaving the logs into fine shavings through the blades.
3. Adjust the thickness of the shavings: modify the blade positions on the knife rollers to achieve the desired thickness of the shavings. The right thickness is crucial for optimal water absorption and airflow.
4. Collection of shavings: once the shavings are expelled from the chassis by the airflow, they can be gathered for use as bedding in stables.
