picked up a big bag of treated shavings from my landlord , (building business) out from under machine , they were going to burn it , (tanalised i would think ) any issues with stock , i thought maybe not to used under chickens , but ok on floor of sheep shed ,?
 
I wouldnt there is some serious preservatives in tanalised timber and as I know you shouldnt sell it as animal bedding. Also what are you doing with the bedding after - putting it on the fields? I would use it in the workshop to clear up oil spills to put in the bin after def not for the compost.
 

Have you taken any land out of production from last autumn?
