an ideal bedding for livestock
Better bedding for sheep & lambs
Stockmax pine shavings are an ideal multi-purpose bedding solution for livestock farmers. Made using 100% pine timber, sourced from renewable forestry in the UK, Stockmax shavings benefit from pine’s unique capacity to eliminate harmful bacteria such as E. Coli and E. faecium that can seriously damage or kill young animals in the earliest stages of their lives.
Carrying NOPS accreditation, sheep farmers can be confident knowing there are no contaminants which could be harmful to their stock. Designed to help reduce antibiotic use, Stockmax pine shavings are also dried to sterilising temperatures to ensure a clean and hygienic product and eliminate cross contamination.
What our customers say…
“As part of the continued drive to encourage responsible use of antibiotics by sheep farmers and, in particular the blanket treatment of lambs for watery mouth, we trialled Stockmax shavings in our lambing pens this year and did not administer a single prophylactic watery mouth treatment to any of the lambs born as singles. We have been delighted with the results and Stockmax shavings have been a great hit as it delivers a dry, fresh, hygienic bed in the lambing pens, at a comparable cost to straw.”
