The Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo’s giraffes are enjoying new naturally antibacterial bedding that will be easier on their sensitive skin.
The premium hemp bedding is a product of Calgary-based Hempalta, an agricultural technology company focused on innovative hemp processing and product creation.
Three times as absorbent as wood shavings, 99 per cent dust free and a natural deodorizer, the hypoallergenic, lightweight bedding has been donated as a 30-month sponsorship to the zoo.
“Hempalta’s commitment to providing the zoo with local hemp-based products will allow us to enhance our animal habitats in line with our sustainability goals,” says Jamie Dorgan, director of animal care, health and welfare.
