Wood shavings made from coniferous wood (softwood) have a strong disinfectant and bactericidal effect, as such wood is rich in various essential oils and resins.
Wood shavings are an ideal material for chicken, turkey, goose, duck and other livestock farms because they absorb moisture and odours. Wood shavings are free of hazardous substances, micro-organisms, fungi and bacteria that can harm poultry, animals and humans.
