For dairy farmers, maintaining low somatic cell counts is critical for herd health and milk quality. Somatic cells are a natural part of milk, but high levels often indicate stress or infection, like mastitis. That’s where bedding choice makes a real difference.
Fine sawdust offers a dry, consistent base that reduces moisture buildup—helping limit the growth of bacteria that can lead to udder issues. Its texture allows for better absorption and cleaner stalls, especially in high-traffic areas.
Our fine sawdust is soft, kiln-dried, and super-absorbent, providing superior comfort for livestock in all environments. With moisture content below 8%, it creates a cleaner, more hygienic environment—ideal for supporting udder health. Sourced from Ontario’s premium poplar and birch, it performs exceptionally well on dairy, goat, and swine farms, and it’s also more cost-effective than wood shavings.
📍 Used by farms across Ontario, our bedding helps maintain a healthier barn from the ground up.
Just ask Shinees Holstein:
"I have tried straw and other sawdust companies and made the switch to Ecostrat’s sawdust 3 years ago, and I won’t be switching back. It’s easier on our dairy cows and keeps things tidier all around. Somatic cell counts have never been lower."
