Animal bedding

Bioactive Animal Bedding

With straw costs rising and availability tightening, willow chip bedding is a sustainable alternative.

What we know about willow as a bioactive bedding material

Absorbs moisture effectively and produces less dust.
Contains natural compounds that suppress bacteria and reduce odour.
Bedding composts quickly after use, closing the nutrient loop.
Works well across pigs, poultry, cattle and horses.

What we're exploring next

Long-term bedding trials across species
Impact on air quality, animal comfort and worker health.
Economics of on-farm willow chip systems vs. straw imports.

Who should care
