You heard us right, we said what we said!
Have you walked into your barn and got smacked in the face with a scent that was not pleasant to smell? This blog is for you because we know shit happens!
Whether you are raising chickens, cows, goats, sheep, pigs or possibly a Llama, we have a solution for you! Your barn (or pet enclosure) doesn’t have to smell like a manure pit and the bedding that is used has a large part to do with it.
So… What does that smell mean?
That is a great question, there are many telltale signs that your bedding is not keeping up here are some examples.
Musty, Sour, Heavy = Poor Absorption
If your bedding stays wet, urine builds up, and you end up with ammonia burn and stressed animals, it's time to upgrade.
Sharp ammonia and chemical like smells = health hazard
Strong ammonia= red flag. It can damage the lungs of animals and humans. It's not just gross but it is also dangerous.
“Hot poop” smell = rapid breakdown
If you are composting in place or deep littering, the smell might mean things are working… maybe a little too fast. Time to add more bedding to the stall.
The smell barely there = Great Success
If you walk in and it smells fresh and clean, or nothing at all, congrats, your bedding game is strong.
Why bedding matters more than you think
Bedding isn’t just a cozy layer between animals and the surface below, it is a defense system. It helps with odor control, moisture management, and even animal health.
