Premium Woodshavings

Breeder's Choice woodshavings are a high-grade product suitable for use as bedding litter in horse stables, chicken nests and sheds, calf sheds and various other animal enclosures. Our premium pine shavings provide superior absorbency and comfort for all types of animals.

Our standard bale weighs 14kg and provides approximately 0.2 cubic metres of volume when uncompressed. Perfect for easy storage and handling in any agricultural or pet care setting.

The benefits of our baled woodshavings are:

Screened & Dust Extracted

Our shavings have been screened to remove harmful dusts and reduce the incidence of reactive airway disease in animals. Using a purpose built 'trommel' screen, we are able to remove a higher proportion of the sawdust and ensure we are producing a superior quality product. This makes our bedding ideal for sensitive animals and enclosed spaces.

Kiln dried for better absorbency

The woodshavings are a by-product from the timber milling process and have been kiln dried to achieve a moisture content of between 8% and 12%. This low moisture content ensures maximum absorbency and helps maintain a dry, healthy environment for your animals.

All-natural product

The shavings are all natural and free of any chemical additives, making them safe for the majority of animals. Our pine shavings are sourced from sustainable plantations and provide a comfortable, natural bedding solution that's environmentally friendly.

Clean & hygienic

We use our own trucks and trailers to transport the raw product. Our trailers are only used for transporting our shavings, which reduces the risk of contaminants in our shavings. This ensures a clean, hygienic bedding solution for your animals' health and comfort.

About Us

Our History

Breeder's Choice Woodshavings is a family owned business that has been operating in Colac (Victoria) since 1994. Colac is located in the western district of Victoria, on the edge of the Otways, which is one of the largest pine plantations in Australia.

Our Process

The sole business activity of Breeder's Choice is the packaging and sale of kiln-dried pine woodshavings. All shavings go through a screening process to remove the smaller flakes and sawdust, thus providing a high-grade product and ensuring very good absorbency. Our commitment to quality has made us a trusted supplier for animal bedding across Australia.

Quality Standards

As our main customers are in the poultry, equine and cattle industries, it is imperative that our shavings are clean, hygienic, and come from only kiln dried radiata pine, with a moisture content of between 8% and 12%. This ensures the best possible bedding solution for animal health and comfort.

We have supplied our packaged shavings into every state of Australia. Please search the 'stockists' section of our website to find a seller of Breeder's Choice Woodshavings in your area.
