Our wood shavings come in two cuts. The 1–5 mm cut is finer and lies flat in an even layer, which suits poultry houses, small animal cages and mushroom growing. The 1–15 mm cut has larger flakes that make a looser, springier bed for stalls and cattle pens. Both are dried to 10% moisture or less, so the shavings arrive ready to soak up liquid rather than already holding it.
Wood Shavings Bedding for Every Animal
Horses
Shavings are the most widely used bedding in horse stables: they soak up urine, stay soft underfoot and are quick to muck out, because wet patches can be lifted out and the dry bed topped up. For horses most of our buyers choose Pine Wood Shavings, made from 100% pine. To compare bedding types, read the best shavings for horses, pine shavings for horses and buying shavings for horses in bulk.
Chickens and Poultry
In coops and broiler houses a layer of shavings absorbs droppings and keeps the litter dry, which helps hold down ammonia and keeps birds' feet clean. When the litter is spent it goes straight onto the compost heap. See wood shavings for chickens, what the best wood shavings for chickens are and bedding options for chicken coops.
Dairy Cows and Cattle
Dry shavings in cubicles and loose-housing pens give cows a clean, comfortable place to lie down, and a dry bed means cleaner udders at milking. Our guide explains how to choose bedding for dairy cows.
Rabbits, Mice and Other Small Animals
Rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and laboratory mice need a soft, absorbent bed that is easy to change. The finer 1–5 mm cut fills small cages and hutches evenly. Read more about bedding for rabbits, bedding for mice and wood pellet bedding for small animals.
Mushroom Growing
Mushroom growers use wood shavings in their substrate because the material holds moisture while still letting air through, the balance the mycelium needs to spread. Wood is a renewable alternative to other growing materials.
Compost and Fertilizer
Used bedding, mixed with manure, breaks down into a nutrient-rich compost that improves drainage and aeration in the soil. Find out how long wood shavings take to decompose and the other advantages of wood shavings.
Pine Shavings or Mixed Wood Shavings?
Woodbase makes two kinds of shavings. Mixed wood shavings blend pine, a softwood, with acacia, a hardwood. Pine shavings are 100% pine, the bedding many horse owners prefer. The table compares the two products.

How to Choose Good Wood Shavings
Good shavings are dry, clean and consistent: no bark, stones or other foreign matter, little fine dust, and flakes of an even size. Wet shavings go mouldy in storage and absorb less once they are in the stall. Our article on how to tell good wood shavings from bad shows what to look for, and choosing a reputable manufacturer of wood shavings covers the questions to ask a supplier.
Packing, Shipping and Ordering
We press the shavings into compressed blocks of 10, 15 or 20 kg so that more fit into each container and they stay clean on the way. The minimum order is one 40ft HC container, and we can supply about 20 containers per month, paid by T/T or L/C.
