FAQS
Q Are AirLite Corrugate Beddings Safe for Animals?
A Yes. Sheep, goats, swine, cattle, Camelids, dogs, poultry, birds and
pets are all safe on our products. They are all made from pre-consumer waste.
The cardboard is composed of cooked-down (very short) wood fibers, held together
by corn starch. It is totally benign to animal digestive systems and will not
cause harm or impaction. This is backed by research from CSU, LSU and Texas A&M
and 25+ years of use in Europe. Some animals may pick at or eat small amounts,
but as a general rule they do not.
Q How Does it Work?
A Corrugate has a surface tension, allowing urine to flow through to the
bottom and then be absorbed from the bottom up, greatly reducing ammonia levels
in the stall or cage. Our products will hold up to three times their own weight
in water.
Q Why Should I Use AirLite Products?
A They are from the ground up; simply the healthiest choice in bedding you
can buy. Vets recommend them for hoof and lameness issues as well as respiratory
problems. It is low in bacteria, so therefore also reduces the chance of
infections and secondary infections after injury or surgery. They are mold and
dust free. All of the above facts make it the absolute best bedding for birthing
stalls and cages. It is also superb for large animal trailering.
Q Are AirLite Products OK for the Environment?
A Yes! Our products compost nicely in 4-6 weeks vs. 14 months or more for
pine shavings. All our bedding products are compliant with EPA 916-F-01-026
(4606): Managing Livestock, Poultry and Horse Waste to Prevent Contamination of
Drinking Water.
AirLite USA is listed with the TCEQ (Texas Commission for Environmental
