Description
HERDD offers a premium, eco-friendly bedding solution crafted from 100% natural, untreated New Zealand pine, grown under unique Northland conditions. This high-density pine is dehydrated to an ultra-low moisture content of approximately 7%, resulting in a soft, hygienic, and highly absorbent bedding ideal for various animals.
Key Features
- Exceptional Absorbency: HERDD’s hygroscopic properties allow it to absorb up to four times its dry weight, effectively soaking up urine and reducing ammonia odors through natural pine oils and resins.
- Low Dust & Allergen-Friendly: The bedding’s low dust content makes it suitable for animals with respiratory sensitivities, including horses, foals, and small pets like rabbits and guinea pigs.
- Long-Lasting Comfort: With proper stable management and ventilation, the unsoiled base layer can last over 12 months, requiring minimal top-ups—typically one 22kg bag every fortnight.
- Eco-Conscious Packaging: Packaged in oversized, fully compostable 22kg bags, HERDD bedding supports sustainable practices by reducing waste and offering versatile reuse options, such as garden mulch or weed mats.
Usage Recommendations
- Stable Bedding: For a standard 4x4m stable, use 7 bags if equipped with rubber flooring or 9 bags without. To activate, spread a 3cm layer of dry pellets, generously hose with water, wait 15 minutes, then fluff with a rake.
- Travel & Shows: Ideal for lining horse floats or adding comfort in competition yards. Compact and easy to transport, HERDD bedding ensures your animals rest comfortably during travel or events.
- Garden Applications: Beyond animal care, HERDD bedding serves as an effective garden mulch, particularly beneficial for acid-loving plants like hydrangeas, azaleas, and blueberries.
Additional Benefits
- Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of animals, including chickens, calves, pigs, goats, sheep, rabbits, and alpacas.
- Ease of Maintenance: HERDD bedding clumps upon saturation, simplifying the mucking-out process and reducing overall bedding waste.
- Sustainable Choice: By choosing HERDD, you’re investing in a product that prioritizes animal comfort, environmental responsibility, and cost-effectiveness over time.
