Full Pellets (6/8 mm)

Best for classic bedding with visible pellets that loosen under hoof, creating a springy, dry layer.

  • Recommended base layer: 6–8 kg/m²
  • Top-up: ~1–2 kg/m² per week depending on stall hygiene
  • Low dust after sieving & dedusting
  • Material: selected wheat straw; optional rapeseed addition for reduced ingestion and hoof support

Why it works

  • Absorbs ~400–650% of its own weight (loose straw ≈ ~180%)
  • Controls ammonia odours
  • Low-dust; hypoallergenic (sieved & dedusted; lab-screened)
  • Anti-slip surface that insulates from the ground
  • For stables and transport boxes; helpful in RAO and post-laminitis care

FAQ: How often to top-up?

Plan weekly micro-top-ups (1–2 kg/m²) rather than big refreshes—this keeps the bed consistently dry and reduces waste.

Disposal

Manure with straw pellets composts quickly and is readily accepted by most waste handlers; biodegradable and usable in biogas plants.
