Wood shavings are thin, small pieces or shreds of wood that are typically created through wood planing or shaving/milling. Wood shavings are widely used as animal bedding for animals like horses, poultry and small pets, due to its abilities to control moisture and odour and simultaneously be a comfortable surface for the animal.

Shavings and sawdust are both byproducts from wood processing, but they differ in size, shape and how they are produced. Sawdust will absorb more than shavings because it has a higher surface area. While more absorbent, sawdust is dustier than shavings. Sawdust can easily be baled with an Orkel compactor.
