A deep bedding of wood chips helps care for the land.
The animals waste will be absorbed by the wood chips which means less odors.
Woodchips + nitrogen (waste) in the right ratio becomes compost which means we're making more arable organic matter / "pre soil."
More compost/arable organic matter means more water retention, more carbon in the soil, and "more boarding rooms" for microbes, which feed and create healthier plants.

Our dog had injury to the tail and we applied honey to her wound. In a couple of days it healed up faster than the prior 3 days that lacked honey on the wound.
