Reduced yields of straw are predicted this winter after the driest summer in 80 years, which has resulted in farmers turning away from the traditional animal bedding. An organic, sustainable alternative is heat-treated recycled paper which produces hygienic, economical livestock bedding.

Dried to 95% dry matter, recycled wet paper-sludge produces highly absorbent, clean and comfortable bedding. Unlike straw and sawdust, this year-round alternative is not weather/seasonal dependent; fully biodegradable it readily feeds through slurry channels and spreads onto land. The natural lime content maintains a favourable pH of 7.4 keeping mastitis to a minimum and providing quality, low cellcount milk.
