If you use spent bedding materials as mulch for your plants, they will serve as both mulch and a source of nutrients (due to the amount of manure present). you have used it in the pen and it is time to dispose of it), can it be reused? What can you do with it? Mulch Once you’ve decided what bedding to use, what should you do with it after cleaning your goats’ pen out? You should use the material that works best for you and your goats. With sand, you do not have to change your bedding often, but you still have to scoop out poop daily. It is best to use sand as a bedding amendment (will be discussed later) rather than just the actual bedding. Sand or sandy soil is great for drainage. While cedar chips are as effective as other bedding options, you should stop using it if you find your goats eating it because cedar can make goats sick if they eat too much of it. Cedar Chips/ShavingsĬedar chips or shavings are good for your goats as a goat pen bedding, but it is not as cost-effective as some other options. Another advantage of chips is that they can be stored outside, so they are easier to handle. Wood chips, just like other bedding materials, are effective in insulating the goat pen and also prevent moisture from building up in the ground. Sawdust is very advantageous to use as spent bedding material (will be discussed later). Sawdust is light, easy to spread, absorbent, prevents smell, and provides many other benefits. Sawdust is probably the most popular bedding material for most animals.
