Why use Elkhorn Valley bedding?
A. There are many reasons for using Elkhorn Valley bedding. HEALTH: Elkhorn Valley animal bedding is made from clean, kiln dried softwoods and does not contain some of the aromatic hydrocarbons and phenols found in other wood bedding products such as raw cedar shavings. Therefore, animals are not exposed to compounds that have been implicated as potential health risks in regard to respiratory problems. CLEANLINESS: Elkhorn Valley bedding is pelletized then screened to remove dust and fines. These softwood pellets also suppress odors and ammonia. ECONOMICAL: Since pelletized bedding is condensed and super absorbent, one bag goes a long way. It takes fewer bags of pelletized bedding to do the same job as wood shavings or straw and requires less time and labor to clean up. CONVENIENCE: Pelletized bedding is easy to use. Spread out about a 1/2″ of pellets in the bedding area. Each day remove urine soaked spots and manure. In large stalls, add another bag every week or two.
