What our customers say…

“We have been raising 100,000 chame chicks per year on Stockmax for a number of years now and we have found it to be an excellent bedding. We keep our chicks on it for eight weeks and it creates the ideal conditions for their healthy development – it is dust extracted, very comfortable and the chicks don’t ingest the larger shavings. It also lasts a long time in good condition in the pens. We have also found that it composts well after use too.”
