SUNFLOWER HUSK BEDDING

A ray of sunshine for your bedding

Origin

Sunflower husks are generated as a valuable by-product during the processing of sunflower seeds. They are a natural raw material and are available both loose and in processed forms as pellets or coarsely ground granules. The processed variants are pressed and hygienised at high temperatures and are available loose, in big bags or as bagged material.

Characteristics

Sunflower husks are characterised by their lightweight, dry and structure-rich composition as well as their high water absorption capacity. Processing sunflower husks into pellets or granules further optimises their moisture absorption properties. At the same time, the materials release moisture effectively, allowing the bedding to dry quickly.

As a result, loose sunflower husks as well as sunflower husk pellets and granules contribute to a pleasant stable climate by reliably binding odours and humidity. The loose, low-dust structure also supports animal health, particularly foot pad health in poultry. Another advantage is the easy storage and convenient transport of the processed products.

Use

Loose sunflower husks – as well as sunflower husk pellets and sunflower husk granules – are suitable as high-quality bedding material for horses, cattle and poultry and can be used for animals of all ages. They provide an economical alternative to conventional bedding materials and create a comfortable and hygienic stable environment thanks to their excellent structural properties. In addition, the material can be used as fertiliser or as an input material for biogas plants.
