Spelt husks are generated as a valuable by-product during the processing of spelt. The spelt grain is harvested together with the husks before they are separated from the grain in a specialised milling process. They are then either supplied loose as a natural material or processed into spelt husk pellets through pressure and heat without the addition of additives.
Spelt husks are a 100 percent natural raw material and are highly biodegradable. They are a lightweight, airy and fibrous natural material with a light brown colour. After approximately two to three months, they decompose into a high-quality fertiliser. They offer excellent absorbency and odour-binding properties. Another advantage is their economical consumption. Both loose spelt husks and spelt husk pellets are characterised by high absorbency and good odour control as bedding materials.
The excellent bedding properties and high absorbency, but especially the positive effects on foot pad health and the stimulation of natural scratching behaviour, encourage innovative farmers to use spelt husks as bedding material for poultry. In addition, they provide a dry and well-ventilated barn climate. Therefore, spelt husks are also ideally suited as bedding material for cattle or horses.
A particular advantage in horse stalls: Horse manure can be separated very easily from bedding made of spelt husks – good material remains in the stall, while wet areas become darker and can be removed easily.
