Description
Description:ARTi's Organic Biochar Animal Bedding is a quality bedding choice for the comfort and wellbeing of horses, donkeys, cows, goats, pigs, sheep, chickens, bunnies, dogs, and other pets and livestock. It is made from pyrolyzed biomass and contains no fine particles. Each burlap bag contains 20 gallons of dry bedding that can either be used pure or in blends. For blends, use at least 1 gallon per sq yard.
Why Use Biochar?
Improves animal well-being by removing ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and odors from the feces
Absorbs the moisture without the wetness that produces bacterial infections, discomfort, and other problems associated with wet bedding
Reduces pathogens from the bedding
Reduce the stress levels of the animals and indirectly increase livestock weight gain
Retains nitrogen, sulfur, organics, and water in the carbon, making a great soil amendment byproduct for direct spreading in lawns and gardens or for composting.
Non-toxic
Doesn’t break down and therefore sequesters carbon dioxide for many years, reducing emissions (every pound of biochar sequesters 3 pounds of CO2)
Made from renewable biomass such as wood chips and shavings
Other organic beddings such as sawdust can contain pathogens, and non-organic beddings such as sand can be difficult to handle. Biochar bedding solves both problems by being easy to handle and pathogen-free. Additionally, the biochar makes a great soil amendment after being used as bedding, as it holds nutrients in the carbon for slow release to plants.
