Corn Cob Laboratory Animal Bedding

Corncob consists of parts with different characteristics, namely-fine chaff, coarse chaff and wooden ring, which have various applications.

Each part of the cob varies in its degree of fibrousness, absorbency and hardness.

BioCob’s are milled and dried using a unique technique.

The product is precisely screened and thoroughly air-washed for uniform quality and size, in line with global laboratory standards.

In addition, corn cob bedding is low dust, which is a big advantage to customers using Individually Ventilated Cages (IVC’s) and isolators, where HEPA filters often get clogged by conventional bedding.

Corn cob is also more densely packed, meaning that more cages can be filled from a single bag and the bags last longer.

Using corn cob bedding, rodent cages can be changed as infrequently as every 2 weeks, as the cage remains dry and clean longer and labour is reduced as corn cob bedding rarely gets wet of sticks to the cage requiring scrubbing or soaking.
