Healthier horses
Cardboard bedding has been
proved to be a most successful alternative to straw or wood shavings,
particularly for horses affected with 'heaves' a chronic inflammation and
obstruction of the lower airwaves.* The major contributors to chronic
respiratory problems in horses are the fungi Apergillus fumigatus, Faenia
rectivergula and Orital thermoactinomyces vulgaris, all of which commonly
found growing on conventional bedding. These spores cannot live on
cardboard. Respiratory problems are excerabated by the dusty nature of
conventional bedding. Supa-bed has been dust extracted.
