Wood Chip is Clean

Not only does radiata pine smell fresh, it is naturally hygienic, much like a wooden chopping board that has a natural tannin to act as an anti-bacterial agent.

Counts of coliforms and environmental Streptococci in bulk tank milk are indicators of the quality of milking practices and milking equipment sanitation. Coliform counts in particular are often used to assess the effectiveness of cow preparation at milking time since the primary source of coliform bacteria is dirty teats.

Cleaner cows are easier to prepare prior to milking and are less susceptible to mastitis. Stall maintenance and speed of moving cows to the milking shed can influence cow hygiene.

Cows Prefer to Rest on Wood Chip


The most simple way to really determine if cows like lying on wood chip is to witness a situation where they have the option. Farmers using wood chip constantly tell us cows will walk over grass, dirt and concrete to lay down on a bed of wood chip.
