HERDD Bedding

HERDD bedding is 100% natural pine bedding with no additives, giving your horses and farm animals soft bedding that is convenient, highly absorbent, low dust and environmentally friendly.

HERDD bedding contains naturally occurring pine oils and hygroscopic properties which effectively reduce ammonia smells. It is quick to place, long lasting vs. traditional options (12+ months) and is easy to muck out and top up. Over the long-run we believe you’ll save time, effort & $$ with HERDD bedding.

Not only is HERDD bedding 100% natural, the bag is 100% compostable – use the empty bag as weed mat in your garden, throw it in your manure heap to compost or recycle in council collection. See more ideas to repurpose empty bags at HERDD hacks.

HERDD bedding is suitable for horses and foals, and all farm animals, including chickens, calves, pigs, guinea pigs, goats, sheep, rabbits and alpacas plus many more.

• 100% natural NZ grown pine – low dust, no bark or additives, natural & hygienic
• Highly absorbent, hygroscopic properties – soak up urine with naturally occurring oils & resins that assist in reducing ammonia odours
• Convenient oversized 22kg bag size = less bags & less top-ups
• Swells to multiples of its dry state (approx. 4x) – get a lot more, long lasting bedding volume in each bag
• Long lasting – the unsoiled base bed, with good stable management & ventilation will last a long time (12+ months). We recommend 1 bag per fortnight top up, or as required
• 100% compostable bag – put it in your manure pile or compost bin
• 1 bag activated with water provides approx. 0.13m³ of bedding. Therefore, 7 bags of HERDD bedding provides 1m³ of bedding
• For an average sized stable (~4x4m), we recommend making a bed base with 7 bags (if you have rubber floors), or 9 bags (if no rubber flooring)

HERDD is also excellent for:

• A floor layer under travelling horses in your truck or horse float adding grip, padding and ‘toilet paper’ for easy cleaning up at your destination
• Extra bedding in competition yards; take 2-3 bags with you to shows and ensure your horse rests comfortably on a clean and fluffy bed before they enter the ring.
• Any other farm animals that need a comfy, hygienic bed to rest on 🐷🐔

Instructions on how to use HERDD are on the bag and on HERDD’s website (including videos): ‘How HERDD works’
