HorseMate stable bedding is highly suitable for poultry and is often used as a superior alternative to traditional bedding materials like straw or wood shavings. It is made from 100% natural, recycled pine wood, which is safe for chickens and ducks
Key Benefits of Using HorseMate for Poultry
- High Absorbency: It is up to four times more absorbent than traditional shavings, making it ideal for keeping chicken coops and, specifically, muddy, wet chicken runs dry.
- Reduced Odour and Dust: It is double heat-treated to minimize odor and dust, promoting a cleaner, healthier, and more sanitary living space.
- Easy Maintenance: The pellets are easy to clean, often allowing for easy removal of waste with a stall fork.
- Compostable: The wood pellets are eco-friendly and biodegradable.
Tips for Using HorseMate with Poultry:
- Preparation: While you can spread them directly, many users prefer to lightly water the pellets first to allow them to swell and break down into a soft, fluffy sawdust-like texture.
- Application: It is excellent for use on "poop shelves" and as bedding in nesting boxes.
- Safety: It is non-toxic if accidentally ingested by chickens.
It is highly regarded by poultry keepers as an effective, low-dust, and easy-to-use bedding option.
