1 THE CLEAN, BIO-SECURE BEDDING FROM ARDEN WOOD SHAVINGS

2 WHAT IS SAFEMIX? SAFEMIX... YOUR CLEAN BIO-SECURE BEDDING FROM ARDEN WOOD SHAVINGS THE AFFORDABLE HIGH QUALITY BEDDING SOLUTION Safemix is a blend of high quality woodshavings and clean sterile woodchip that provides maximum comfort for poultry as well as superb litter performance and hygiene. And better litter performance means better results! To ensure high quality performance and bio-security both the woodshavings and the woodchip are selected from clean (mainly softwood) untreated wood residues from traceable sources. The woodchip material is screened to ensure that particle sizes are ideal for poultry bedding and, as an added bio-security measure, it is passed through a highly effective sanitisation process that kills all moulds and bacteria.* SAFEMIX DEVELOPMENT ARDEN S COMMITMENT TO MEETING YOUR DEMANDS Safemix has been developed to address the long term shortage of quality bedding. During many years of farm trials and development, extensive use of Safemix has built up among many of the leading names in the poultry industry. And very recently, to meet rapidly increasing demand, Arden commissioned a new state of the art high volume production facility at its Solihull factory. By developing Safemix, Arden has ensured farmers always have a secure, clean and available supply of bedding. Arden operates strict quality and hygiene systems both during the manufacturing process and delivery on the farm. This includes carefully organised traceability and quality assurance systems which, combined with rigorous testing procedures for pathogens and other contaminants, ensure you will always be confi dent that you will receive safe, high quality bedding.

This achieves an exceptional kill rate on all moulds and bacteria likely to affect poultry including (but not exclusively) aspergillus fumigatus, aspergillus fl avus, penicillium species, enterococcus, E coli, pseudomonas, salmonella and AI.

3 BENEFITS ABSORBS & BREATHES SAFEMIX COMBINES THE EXCELLENT ABSORBENCY POWER OF SHAVINGS WITH THE AERATING QUALITY OF WOODCHIP In use, smaller particles shake to the bottom of the mix. Moisture is pulled down away from the surface whilst the chip material on the surface is less prone to capping due to its lack of binding properties. Birds enjoy scratching at chips on the surface which helps produce a worked bed that remains friable. IMPROVES WELFARE SAFEMIX KEEPS YOUR LITTER DRIER AND FRIABLE FOR LONGER By keeping your litter dry, Safemix greatly reduces the risk of hock burn, breast blisters and pododermatitis. GOOD INSULATOR RETAINS THE EXCELLENT INSULATION QUALITIES OF SHAVINGS The small shavings and sawdust particles in Safemix help to produce effective heat insulation which is so vital to good chick and turkey poult starts. Safemix also has excellent light refl ective qualities. REDUCES COSTS EASY TO SPREAD, EASY TO CLEAN AND LESS TOPPING UP Being easy to spread means Safemix achieves a consistent level of coverage, reducing waste and cost, whilst Safemix s shavings and sawdust particles form a vital barrier between the droppings and the fl oor, greatly reducing clean out time. Due to the excellent aerating and absorbency qualities of Safemix there is less need to top up to keep the litter dry. Because you are using less of Safemix there is less litter to dispose of too. BIO-SECURE GUARANTEED STERILE - BE SECURE AND SAFE WITH SAFEMIX Dry clean wood and shavings are inherently bio-safe unlike some other products such as straw and many sources of post consumer wood waste which have to rely on bacteriacides and chemicals to meet only minimum standards of hygiene. We believe that it is far safer to start with a bio-secure raw material than to rely on treatment therefore Safemix s ingredients come entirely from clean traceable sources. As an extra measure Safemix is passed through a highly effective sanitisation process that uses a completely natural product to kill all moulds and bacteria likely to affect poultry. RELIABLE SUPPLY SAFEMIX - AVAILABLE WHEN AND WHERE YOU NEED IT A high proportion of the mix in Safemix is derived from clean wood. Due to the relative availability of clean wood, Safemix is less prone to supply and cost fl uctuations allowing you to safely plan ahead. an easy hassle free experience the lowest cost solution consistent quality
