There are many options to be bedding materials for cow
Bedding material is among the utmost importance that farmers need to carefully consider before making a decision. Since the bedding materials are used for cow for the whole day, or several days, and cows touch them very often, they affect much to the cows’ health.
The bedding materials used for cow requires many strict standards, such as bring the comfort to the cows, good absorption capability, availability.
Bad choice of cow bedding materials can make the cow feel uncomfortable, increase the injuries in cows, and affect badly to the cows’ health. Conversely, good choice of cow bedding materials can reduce the cases of lameness, make the cows feel comfortable, therefore help them grow better. They also absorb moisture well, and in turn controls the levels of bacteria in the environment which can be harmful to the health of your cows.
There are many types of materials can be used for cow bedding that you may consider, they are: straw, sand or dried compost, soybean, or even newspaper,... However, in this post, I would like to share about the organic materials made from wood: wood shavings and wood pellets.
Wood shavings
Wood shavings are the waste obtained when wood is shaped or planed using carpentry tools or machines like planers and milling machines. Wood shavings

Pine wood shavings
Generally, pine wood shavings are used for cow bedding, since there is a strict requirement: wood shavings used for cow bedding must be made from 100% pine wood. Pine wood shavings are among the best choices since they show great capability in absorbing moisture. The cow manure is very moist, and if the bedding material isn’t very absorbent, it will turn to a stinking, rotting, slimy mess in no time. The more absorbent a bedding material is, the less smelly your coop will be, and the longer you can go without changing bedding.

Wood pellets
Like wood shavings, wood pellets Pine wood pellets are extremely absorbent and so any liquid waste will be quickly absorbed into the bedding, making it far more hygienic and healthy than straw or shavings. They are also easy to lay, provide great support for your cow and are quick to muck out.
Pine wood pellets
Although the prices of wood pellets using pine pellets is still very economical as you need a smaller amount of wood pellets compared to others as they can be used in quite a long time. Over time you will need to use less than you would with other bedding materials. A single bag of wood pellets will last at least as long as a whole bale of shavings.
