Burlybed shred and break up the hard outer casing to expose the soft, pithy inner core: the core does the absorbing, the outer shell keeps the bed from collapsing into dust underfoot. The raw material is double dust extracted before it is baled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is built for a deep litter system. Burlybed reckon on 5 to 8 bales to set up a deep bed in a 12ft by 12ft stable, and then top-ups of as little as half a bale a week. Wet and odour go down into the bed and the top stays dry, so most days the job is lifting the droppings off the surface, and the chop size is cut to fall through a fork rather than ride on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% miscanthus, a fast-growing cane crop grown and processed on the farm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe hard outer casing is shredded open to expose the absorbent pithy core, which is where the absorbency comes from.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble dust extracted before baling, for a low-dust bed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoisture and odour are drawn down into the bed, leaving the surface dry to lie on.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChop size designed to fall through a fork, so you lift droppings and not bedding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRots down faster than shavings or straw and can be spread straight on the land.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses and ponies on a deep litter system, which is how Burlybed recommend using it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStabled horses with dust sensitivity or a history of respiratory trouble.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYards with limited muck heap space or a need to spread rather than cart away.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwners wanting a shorter daily muck-out than a straw bed demands.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLess suited to a yard that strips a bed to the floor every day — the deep litter approach is what makes it economical.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLay a deep bed of 5 to 8 bales in a standard 12ft by 12ft stable to start.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLift droppings off the surface daily; the wet works its way down into the bed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop up as needed, which Burlybed say can be as little as half a bale a week.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBank the sides up against the walls as you would with any deep bed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrip the bed out fully at the interval that suits your yard, and spread the used bedding on the land.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% miscanthus horse bedding, double dust extracted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied in 20kg bales.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBurlybed's own guide: 5 to 8 bales for a deep bed in a 12ft by 12ft stable, then around half a bale a week to top up.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBurlybed publish no absorbency figure in litres per kilogram and no moisture content, so none is stated here.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis product is listed on a handle reading Original Extra; Burlybed's own product name for it is Burlybed Original.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eCare \u0026amp; Caution\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA deep litter bed needs managing.
