How to Use

Spread a generous layer of Stockmax pine shavings across the coop, pen or stable floor. For poultry, a depth of 5–10cm is recommended. For young chicks and game birds, ensure bedding is deep enough to provide warmth and cushioning. Remove wet or soiled shavings regularly and top up as needed. Replace bedding fully at regular intervals to maintain hygiene.

Frequently Asked Questions

What animals is Stockmax suitable for?
Stockmax is suitable for a wide range of animals including poultry (hens, ducks, game chicks), livestock (cattle, sheep, lambs), working dogs, small pets and rabbits. It is especially valued for use with young and vulnerable animals due to its biosecure properties.

What does BETA approved and NOPS certified mean?
BETA (British Equestrian Trade Association) approval and NOPS (Naturally Occurring Prohibited Substances) certification confirm that Stockmax shavings have been independently tested and are free from prohibited substances — important for use with competition animals and for reassurance on feed safety standards.

Are these shavings dust-extracted?
Yes — Stockmax shavings are carefully processed and dust-extracted to minimise airborne dust particles, which supports the respiratory health of your birds and animals.

How do pine shavings compare to straw for poultry?
Pine shavings are generally more absorbent than straw, produce less dust when managed correctly, and have natural antiseptic properties. They are particularly popular for young chicks and in brooder environments where hygiene is critical.

How should I store unused shavings?
Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture. Keep the bag sealed or in a waterproof container to maintain freshness and prevent contamination.
