Horse / Animal Bedding
We are seeing a strong demand for the use of wood pellets for horse / animal bedding and have seen a dramatic reduction in the availability for the flake type shavings over the past years. This trend will continue, due to the sawmill closures, and the strong competition for the raw materials, from other industries, such as, the wood pellet heating industry.
Ferguson’s Energy Systems is proud to introduce and offer for sale, a top quality wood pellet for horse / animal bedding as addition to our product line.
When placed in a clean stall and wetted slightly, wood pellets expand significantly to form a uniform, fluffy base, that is highly absorbent to moisture and relatively free of dust. The volume of material removed from the stall is often 50 to 60 percent less than with shavings or straw. Compost produced from manure and pellets is of high quality and has a high monetary value.
The Changeover From Shavings / Straw To Wood Pellet Is Easy!
A drier, cleaner stall improves hoof condition by reducing exposure to ammonia and moisture. The urine spot will not spread. It will remain clumped or contained for easy removal. Fine bedding allows for easier manure removal. You will not dispose of good bedding with the manure.
More cost effective. The volume of waste material coming out of the stall is approximately 50 to 60 percent less than any other type of bedding.
The C:N ratio and moisture content of the waste material is ideal for composting, the results in an excellent, high quality compost product.
Stalls are cleaned in less than half the time, thereby saving on the cost of labor.
Less build up at the dock. Reduced occurrence of hock and heel sores. Cleaner coat.
Superior absorbency will wick away moisture from manure. Horses will stain less and cleanup easier.
Provides superior comfort.
The bags of pellets are easily stored and handled and require significantly less space than bulk bedding materials.
Wood pellets are easy to test in one or two stalls without making a major financial commitment.
