Wood shavings are the wood chips or sawdust produced by tools such as scrapers, widely used for animal bedding purposes. These are prepared with all types of wood; eucalyptus and pine are majorly preferred by pet owners. Branches of trees, remains of wood, stumps, and logs of wood are widely used for producing wood shavings. The wood shavings produced out of these kind of wood are preferred for bedding as they are free of iron, nails and other materials which may cause health issues to the animals. These beddings made out of wood shavings can be used for poultry to avoid direct contact of the bird with the floor, and also for pigs, and small animals such as rabbits, chinchillas and others. Bedding made from wood shavings are also used in sheltering cattle; they are used in rodeos, fairs, and exhibitions to cover the soil; in horticultural packaging; and for various other uses. Furthermore, these wood shavings are used for packaging which is one of the most commonly used method for transporting and protecting fragile products such as handicrafts, bottles, food, etc. Different types of wood shavings depending on the thickness of the chip, origin of the wood, and the length are used for various applications.
