OUR PRODUCTS
Wood shavings
Our equestrian bedding products are manufactured from virgin softwoods to the highest industry standards. Working from sustainable sources of clean and dry wood, we produce bedding that offers a number of significant advantages to horse owners of all types.
Our products are biodegradable and will rot down quickly on the muck heap to create a well-balanced and nutrition rich-compost.
The shavings offer excellent levels of absorption, which keeps stables fresher and cleaner for longer. The shavings have low moisture content, and as they are virtually dust free, create a healthy environment for all stabled horses.
Wood shavings are available in three formats: 23kg bales, pallets holding 36 or 42 bales and bulk deliveries starting from six tonnes.
Cotton paper bedding
Cotton paper bedding, from Dollar Bedding, is a safe, ink, dust, and allergy free product made from off cuts of high security cotton paper. The paper bedding does not turn mushy, instead it forms a soft, absorbent, warm and comfortable bed. The bales are easy to manage, handle, store and, once opened, look exactly like wood shavings.
This product is excellent for animals with allergies and respiratory conditions. Around 60% of horses and ponies in Ireland suffer from undetected respiratory problems and the most common is a reaction to dust and spores found in bedding and hay.
Each bale is 66cm long x 38cm wide x 28cm high and has a capacity of 70 litres as a compressed bale. A pallet is made of 42 bales and each bale is shrink wrapped and then wrapped again on the pallet.
Dried sawdust
Our sawdust product is produced from kiln-dried softwoods to produce a fine dust-based bedding product. The sawdust grains are screened to 3mm or less, which ensures excellent absorbency and results in dry and hygienic conditions.
Acadami sawdust has many uses including poultry and horse bedding but is now routinely used as a bedding product on dairy farms. The dust is spread on cattle mats, mattresses or concrete cubicles. Typically only one cup full per cow mat per day is required.
Our sawdust product is available in convenient 25kg bales; palletised or as bulk deliveries, with minimum loads starting at six tonnes.
DELIVERY
We operate a fleet of commercial vehicles, that includes articulated moving floor trailers and rigid flat-deck lorries. Acadami’s own transport guarantees a convenient and quick delivery service to anywhere in Ireland.
