Wood shavings play a critical role in poultry production. They are not just a floor covering—good bedding directly affects bird health, air quality, growth rates, and overall farm performance.Choosing the right type of bedding ensures a dry and comfortable environment inside the poultry house, which reduces mortality and improves feed conversion.
