Traditional Alternative
Lone Star Bedding is a very
exciting alternative to “traditional bedding products.” Although
traditional bedding products like wood shavings, rice hulls and
wheat straw have been used for decades, the benefits of Lone Star
Bedding are significant in the world of animal bedding today.
Environmental
Benefit
Lone Star Bedding is manufactured from 100% pure
pine wood fiber. There are no chemicals or binding agents added
during the manufacturing process. Wood fiber has a natural binding
agent which allows Lone Star Bedding to be extruded in pellet form
and is totally environmentally friendly.
Stall
Life Duration
Lone Star Bedding has an average stall life
duration of 9-12 weeks, according to current user history. Stall
life duration may vary depending on the individual animal being
stalled.
Ease
of Maintenance
Lone Star Bedding is a product that
remains in the stall. When picking the stall, only the manure is
removed. Because of the manufactured particle consistency, only the
solids will be lifted with the stall fork. The wet spot should be
stirred into the dry material and allowed to be absorbed for reuse.
Absorption
Lone
Star Bedding absorbs liquids expelled in animal stalls at a rapid
rate. The key to a fresh stall and barn is the containment of the
liquids before they are allowed to penetrate the floor of the stall.
Not only will Lone Star Bedding contain the liquids, but will also
absorb the ammonia and keep the barn smelling pine fresh. When using
Lone Star Bedding, there is no need to apply lime or any other
drying agent to the floor of the animal stalls. Lone Star Bedding
will help control flies and insects because of the absorption of
ammonia. Lone Star Bedding has the ability to dry itself, absorb
ammonia and reuse itself over and over.
Ease
of Animal Grooming
Lone Star Bedding users are excited
about the time reduction in grooming their animals. Lone Star
Bedding will not cling to body, mane or tail hair in the way
traditional bedding products can because of the manufacturing
process. Grooming can be accomplished by brushing or air blowing the
animal’s coat.
Time
Saving
Lone Star Bedding saves time in many areas of use
such as maintaining stalls, disposal of waste and grooming of
animals. Time saved in using Lone Star Bedding can be converted into
more productive time for the user.
Ease
of Handling and Transporting
Lone Star Bedding is
packaged in 35 pound bags, which allows many women and children to
transport the product. Because of the compact packaging of Lone Star
Bedding, the product bags are easily transported to shows and events
using minimal transportation space.
