Pelletized straw litter

Experts know it very well and laymen have no idea how important it is to choose the right straw bedding or litter. Scientifically or less scientifically, many people have searched for the ideal litter. Everybody agrees that the ideal litter must have high absorbency, must be properly soft, furthermore mould-free and dust-free.

All the rest is personal preference. As for raw materials, we vote for straw. Our product is pelletized litter straw. We improve the favourable characteristics of straw by the applied technology (pelletizing), furthermore by paying special attention we reduce the possible risks of traditional straw litter (dust, mould).

Our product is made of high-quality Hungarian wheat straw. We pay special attention to the quality of the raw material. More exactly we thoroughly examine its humidity and its content focusing on mould fungus and other polluting materials. Unfortunately, it is inevitable to have some mould fungus present in straw bales. However, we try to prevent the multiplication of mould spores by processing straw at the proper time and by storing it in a covered, rain-free area.

The applied production technology guarantees that customers receive high-quality, dust-free and completely pure straw litter with high absorbency.

In order to ensure that the material is dust-free and contains no pollution, many sieves, magnets and pollution filters are applied at several points of the production process. Absorbency is improved by adjusting the grinding process to the proper size. The active surface of the straw is increased via the process, thus its absorbency is multiplied. In consequence the ammonia content irritating respiration is significantly reduced. During pelletizing straw is placed under high temperature and pressure, thus quality can be improved as germs in the litter are killed.

Our product is 100% straw without any additives. Our pellets are 10-50 mm long, yellow-brownish, cylindrical particles with a diameter of 8 mm. Our pellets are supplied in properly closed 35-kg plastic bags, however we are flexible and respect our customers' individual wishes regarding size, unit weight and packing materials.

Why do we use pelletized straw for litter?

Compared to traditional straw litter, pellets are able to absorb more ammonia due to their significantly higher degree of absorbency. As free ammonia content in the air is reduced, there is less respiratory irritation. Due to the dust removal process, the air in the box contains less dust, thus our stable is cleaner. Continuously supervised production technology and controlled raw materials guarantee constant high quality.

Obviously it is most important to satisfy the demands of horses, however owners' and horse riders' wishes are of high importance, too. The amount of the applied straw litter is reduced, thus manure is reduced. (Based on our experience, this technology reduces the manure produced in the boxes by 60%.) Moving and storing air-tight sacks is significantly easier than storing and moving bales of straw. Cleaning the boxes takes up considerably less time.

Mű-Pellet Zrt. - Pelletized straw litter The application of pelletized straw litter is very simple. For the first time we poured two sacks (70 kg) of straw pellet, which was spread flat within a few hours under the weight and movement of the horse. In our opinion, this quantity was enough. The contaminated litter was removed daily and replaced with new pellet. By this method a further 50 kg was used up in the first month. In the second month, we applied the same amount (cca 50 kg) for replacement, and then in the third month, we replaced the entire pellet in the box. So we have used up about 170 kg pellets in two months.
