New Year, New Bedding

The beginning of a New Year inevitably brings a series of resolutions from all of us, whatever they may be, but how about making the resolution to try something new today and try a new bedding for your horse or pony. Improving your beloved equine friend’s health is important for every loving owner, and you may even save your pennies too!

Nedz provides a completely natural approach to bedding as a fantastic alternative to shavings and other bedding products on the market. The competitively priced bedding also provides additional health benefits and with three different products to choose from you really are covered for every eventuality!

Traditional bedding meets technology with Nedz Original; a chopped wheat straw product treated with the Natural Nedz ensuring your horse has the snug feel of straw with extra absorbency, resulting in a quick-to-muck-out, hygienic bedding. In addition, unlike conventional straw, Nedz Original is equipped with a bitter taste to stop a greedy equine tucking into their bedding either through boredom or hunger.

If you are looking to save time and money without compromising your equine’s health Nedz Pro is the bed for you. Made from oil seed rape straw, Nedz Pro creates a super absorbent alternative to shavings with all the benefits of biodegradable chopped straw. Nedz Pro works effectively as a deep litter bed with the wet only removed once a week, or on a daily system depending on your requirements. Hygiene is imperative and as Nedz Pro is also treated with the exclusive Natural Nedz formula ammonia levels are reduced and the anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-parasitic properties help keep bugs and bacteria at bay! Nedz Pro is ideal for those looking to speed up mucking out, reduce wasted bedding and opt for a more natural approach.

Nedz Advance, though still manufactured from high quality straw, provides a different type of bedding. The straw is chopped and ground before being pressed into a pellet. These are then steamed and sterilised to control moulds and spores and ensure the bedding is totally unpalatable. The pellets break down as your horse is stabled on it at different rates meaning the exceptional absorbency lasts throughout the bag. Unlike other pelleted bedding, there is no need to water Nedz Advance and the bedding does not stick to droppings meaning you only remove waste and don’t fill up your muck heap!

All Nedz products are dust extracted making them ideal for horses with respiratory compromise, and each product can be used on concrete or rubber matting bases. Nedz retails between £6.50 - £8 for 20kg bales of Nedz Original and Nedz Pro, and £7 - £8.50 for 15kg bags of Nedz Advance. 

So with health benefits, price benefits and muck-heap-reducing benefits, make trying Nedz your New Year’s resolution. For more information or to find out your nearest stockist visit www.nedz.co.uk or telephone to tel: 01254 677 762
