What is Miscanthus?

Giant Miscanthus is a perennial grass with the ability to grow on marginal and poor agricultural land. It grows quickly, maintains high water efficiency, is non-invasive, requires little-to-no fertilizer or weed control, and is a fantastic way to sequester carbon. 

These unique properties make it an amazing animal bedding product for discerning horse owners, breeders, and boarders.

Better Health, Greater Efficiency with Sustainable Bedding

Used in Europe for decades as a high-quality animal bedding material, miscanthus stall bedding creates demonstrable benefits for horses and horse owners alike. 

  • Best horse bedding according to vets – significantly reduces dust for horses with allergies and respiratory issues
  • Bedding with high moisture absorption – absorbs as much as four times its weight, with less moisture build-up for lower risk of thrush
  • Reduced waste disposal costs and volume – can lower waste disposal costs by 30-60%
  • Environmentally friendly and 100% biodegradable – Reusable for land application and fertilizer
  • Naturally unpalatable for animals – For less risk of animal consumption
  • Better hygiene with fewer flies – Improve smell and reduce flies in your stalls!

Reduced Animal Bedding Waste, Reduced Expenses

If your operation requires hauling waste away with any regularity, Natural Bedding can save you money. Natural Bedding can significantly reduce the volume of waste you need to dispose of, resulting in a cost reduction of up to 40% for some customers.

Even if you apply your animal waste to your own land, you’re likely familiar with the amount of labor and hauling required for dumping and spreading this waste on fields. Natural Bedding can help by reducing the number of trips required, which ultimately lowers your labor and fuel costs.

Repeated, positive feedback from our customers has seen this borne out: a significant reduction in coughing and allergy symptoms due to the low level of dust in our bedding.

Natural Horse Bedding FAQs

Our bedding made from miscanthus is completely biodegradable and compostable. It decomposes into organic matter and can be reintegrated into the soil or used on arable land, highly effectively as a fertilizer.

It usually takes 6-8 bags of our natural bedding the first time you set up a typical 12’x12′ horse stall. You’ll use much less on a regular basis due to Natural Bedding’s absorption characteristics.

No! Horses and other farm animals don’t like the taste!

Miscanthus bedding is highly absorbent due to its natural sponge-like inner core, called ‘pith’. Pitch makes miscanthus bedding significantly more absorbent than wood shavings or straw. As a result, our bedding lasts longer and is more cost-effective by reducing waste volume. And, our customers commonly report a decrease in cases of thrush due to dry stall conditions!

Miscanthus bedding is easy to muck! Miscanthus tends to absorb moisture more quickly and create smaller clumps of wet material rather than huge clumps. You can muck out smaller, more defined portions of the material, leaving dry and unused material in the stall.
