INNOVATIVE BLENDING
Developed using Platts’ innovative blending technology, MixBed uses a varied ratio of softwood shavings in varying particle sizes. This enables MixBed to provide all the absorbency benefits of sawdust, alongside the supporting comfort of shavings — the best of both worlds for your cattle.
ECONOMICAL VERSATILITY
Designed to provide a versatile and economical bedding solution for farmers, MixBed can be used as either the sole type of bedding for your cows, or as a supplementary bedding. MixBed is a solution that’s suitable across the board for concrete cubicles, earth pens, calf and bullpens, and livestock trailers.

MixBed is packaged using Platts’ in-house packaging facilities, designed specifically to offer practical and convenient storage. Our sawdust and shavings are wrapped in compresses polythene bales and includes a weatherproof hood for outdoor storage, to enable better use of space and more freedom for you.
