Shepherd’s Cob Plus

Eliminate the additional cost for adding nesting materials to the cage. Shepherd’s Cob Plus combines both bedding and nesting materials all in one. Mini-rolls of multi-layered virgin paper cut into short lengths are added to give the animals nesting material which enhances their nest building instincts.

This is a two for one advantage, you get all the benefits of the Industry’s leading
premium laboratory animal bedding material – PLUS Enrichment.

• Superior Sanitation: Shepherd’s™ Cob is dried in our driers to a lower moisture content than any other cob bedding material on the market. Our target moisture content during manufacturing is 5% by weight while other manufacturers dry their product to 8 to 10%. Lower moisture content means our processing more effectively kills bacteria, yeast, mold and coliforms.

• Excellent Absorbency: Lower moisture content means Shepherd’s™ Cob will absorb more liquid by volume than other similar bedding materials.

• Exceptional Ammonia Control: Corn cob bedding has been shown in several studies to control ammonia inmicro-isolation caging better than wood and some recycled paper bedding materials.

• Consistent Material: Shepherd’s™ Cob + PLUS is made from 100% natural corn cob with all foreign matter removed. It is biodegradable and easily incinerated.

• Available in Several Forms: Shepherd’s™ Cob is available in our standard 1/4″ and 1/8″ grades in 35 pound autoclavable bags as well as bulk sacks. We also offer both grades irradiated in 35 pound bags and bulk sacks.
