The peat cutter is a perfect bedding combination

Choosing the right bedding for your horse's stall or the entire stable is a surprisingly essential part of horse care. It affects not only the horse's comfort but also its overall health and stable hygiene. When choosing bedding, you should consider the individual needs of your horses, your budget, and what the bedding is required for in the stable. If you are at all unsure about the properties of different bedding, it may be necessary to try different bedding materials. The way you use the bedding affects the consumption and therefore also the choice of bedding. Depending on whether you like to use mattress bedding in the pens or turn the pens over when cleaning, it is possible to select from different bedding materials that are suitable for the purpose. An economical cleaning method alone saves bedding in the long run. When bedding is used in moderation, costs are also reduced, but the well-being of the horses must not be compromised. One versatile option for bedding is a mixture of peat and cutter, which is now also available in Biohansa's product range . This combination offers several properties that make it an excellent bedding. Thanks to its mixture structure, it is significantly more versatile and practical than many other bedding products. The peat fibers mix together with the cutter, so that no piles of bedding or bare spots form on the floor level. Peat and sawdust are the two most popular and most widely used bedding materials. Peat has excellent absorbency and effectively locks in moisture, keeping the pen dry. When combined with sawdust, which also increases absorbency, this mixture creates an ideal bedding base, preventing urine build-up and maintaining a dry floor.

Peat cutter features

Both peat and straw have insulating properties that help regulate the temperature of the stall floor. This is especially beneficial during the cold winter months, providing warmth and comfort for the horse. The mixture acts as a natural insulator, keeping the stall floor drier. Such a flexible base also helps reduce the risk of injury, provides a comfortable place to sleep and reduces the development of various scratches. Read more about resting your horse here. The cutter produces little dust, which contributes to healthier stable air and does not cause respiratory problems for horses. Peat has effective properties to neutralize odors and when mixed with the cutter, it creates a litter that helps keep the air fresher. This is essential for maintaining stable hygiene. Peat absorbs ammonia well and has a low pH, which prevents the growth of bacteria and fungi. The cutter also allows liquid and urine to pass through, preventing the peat from becoming too compacted.

An environmentally friendly choice

Both peat and mulch are natural and renewable resources. Choosing a peat mulch also means a commitment to environmental responsibility. In addition, peat decomposes quickly, which makes disposing of used bedding ecologically sustainable. The combination of peat and cutter offers a variety of benefits, such as excellent absorbency, natural thermal insulation, dust-free, comfortable and environmentally friendly. The peat cutter mixture does not contain hazardous substances, microorganisms or fungi that can harm animals or humans. It is also GMO-free and does not contain, for example, weed seeds, nematodes or other harmful factors. There are several ways to dispose of litter. One option is to compost it, which promotes the decomposition of organic matter and produces useful soil. It is important to consider environmentally friendly methods and local regulations when disposing of litter. Using a peat cutter as litter can help reduce the dependence on peat alone, the availability of which can be even greater challenges. A clean, dry and comfortable pen is easy to implement with a peat cutter, while improving the quality of life for the horse and simplifying stable maintenance tasks. The bedding is spread evenly and manure can be easily raked out. Peat cutter is a relatively light and easy-to-handle bedding, largely due to the airiness provided by the cutter.
