Silva Bed Equine Bedding

Additional information

Extremely low dust
All pine timber used is kiln dried and screened to remove small fine particles along with dust before it is pelletised.

Exceptional absorption
All of the pine wood fibre is kiln dried to a low moisture content pre-pelletisation which results in a product that has outstanding absorption qualities when used within the stable environment. This provides durability and aids the longevity of the product’s life to keep the bed dry, controlling husbandry hoof challenges that are associated with wet bedding.

Outstanding ammonia control
Silva Crumb’s major attribute comes from the pine wood used in manufacturing. Its natural antiseptic properties and resin content significantly reduce ammonia odour from building in the bed and reduces airborne taint with long-lasting effect. This characteristic is not found with many brands of pellets on the market.

Safe & Hygienic
Silva Crumb is specifically made for equines and not a derivative product of the energy market. Only selected pine timber is used removing the risk of unwanted wood species entering the supply chain. During manufacture extreme heat is produced as pellets are made which has a pasteurising effect leaving a clean, additive free product that is ideal for sensitive horses or those with allergies.

Comfortable & stimulates rest
Only specific softwood pine is used to create the the bedding. Once activated it offers a natural soft supportive bed that is dry and comfortable for horses and ponies to lie and rest upon.

Promotes healthy hooves
Once activated the soft crumb bedding offers support. It moulds under the hoof around the frog, giving even hoof support and joint cushioning.

Time saving
Long-lasting, requiring less fresh new product weekly than other forms of bedding. Quick and easy to remove manure and clumped wet spots saving you time. Smaller manure heaps are an added bonus of Silva Crumb pellets.

Sustainable
All of our wood is sourced from sustainably managed forests and is a natural by-product of the timber industry. The bedding is completely bio-degradable and composts quickly to a usable mulch/fertiliser. The bags are made from LDPE 04 type plastic which is fully recyclable.
