Yes, it's pine specially made into shaving and sawdust for bedding pets and horses, not a by-product from any other woodworking process. When I lived in Essex many years ago we had the first factory producing shavings for horses and used to buy bales of it direct from them as they came off the packing machines. The machinery "eating" stripped pine tree trunks was in the same huge shed. It was amazingly clean because the trunk went in one end and bales of vacuum-packed shavings or sawdust, depending on which machine, came out the other.
