At UK Dairy Day (Telford, 15 September 2021), for the first time publicly, farmers can inspect samples of all-new EnviroBedand EnviroBed Premiumcubicle bedding. According to EnviroSystems’ Managing Director Liz Russell, the entire production process has been re-engineered.
“We use 100 percent renewable energy and new high-grade sources of paper crumb,” she explains. “The EnviroBed Premium option includes virgin wood sawdust and micro-shavings to produce a fully sustainable bedding alternative.
“Along with gentle handing throughout the production process, this enables us to produce what we judge to be the closest to the perfect bedding material available for cow comfort and cleanliness.”
The company also reports increased capacity to offer more farmers an alternative to the likely low supply, variable quality and high prices of straw this winter.
EnviroSystems claims “ultra-absorbency, higher by up to five and ten-times respectively than sawdust or straw.”
The new EnviroBed range is biodegradable and compatible with all slurry and manure systems due to its neutral pH. Delivery options are bulk, one-tonne tote bags, or palletised and shrink-wrapped 30 litre sacks.
