Laboratory Animal Bedding
Agricob provides to scientific centers and university laboratories three different sizes of substrates for Laboratory Animal Bedding under the Ecobed ® brand. The size to use will depend on the type of animal, testing and preferences of the scientist.
¼ inch: Used for large species of rats, mice and guinea pigs.
1 / 8 inch: Mainly used for small animals. It is a product with more surface contact, smaller particles and more homogeneous surface.
Mix: Multipurpose product for rats, mice, guinea pigs and other small animals.
Ecobed ® products have the following characteristics:
• More Absorbent: The animals have a dry surface. Due to the particles shape it allows liquids to flow through it from the top down, then absorbs the liquids from the bottom up. This keeps lab animals on a dry surface between bedding changes. Ecobed ® absorbs more effectively the urea contained in urine, providing consequently a low ammonium environment.
• 100% Natural: Ecobed ® is a 100% natural, biodegradable and renewable, with a better absorption power than sawdust and shavings.
• Products Ecobed ® are:
- Produced in modern facilities
