Bedding:
Don’t get caught short this winter!
Last winter the lack of shavings forced owners to
consider their bedding methods and chopped straw manufacturer
Nedz was inundated with enquiries about the supply
of their popular products. This year horse owners
are being urged to think ahead to prevent them from
getting caught short again!
Nedz Original, Nedz Pro and Nedz Advance all offer
an alternative to shavings in the form of easy to
use, biodegradable, highly absorbent chopped straw.
The range offers bedding for every eventuality and
gives horse owners the opportunity to choose the product
best suited to their needs.
“There are many ways to ensure a stress-free
winter in terms of bedding,” says Managing Director
of Nedz, Lisa Cooper. “Don’t be fooled
by looking at the costs per bale – look at the
cost of bedding your horse per week, or per month
or even for the whole winter. What appears a cheap
price per bale may not be as effective as a more expensive
product and you may end up using twice as much!”
“Buying in bulk should always get you a discount,”
comments Lisa. “Don’t be afraid to ask
your supplier. And look at the whole picture –
how much does it cost to have your muck heap taken
away? If you choose a product which is highly biodegradable
you will incur much lower costs – if any –
and be able to use it as natural fertiliser. All Nedz
products rot down within two to three months, whereas
shavings can take up to two years!”
“Choose products which don’t stick to
muck as much, as otherwise you will end up throwing
away half of the clean bedding when you muck out,”
suggests Lisa. “Nedz Advance is a pelleted bedding
and doesn’t stick to the manure like some products
– this means you don’t end up wasting
as much bedding. Also, try and use the correct tool
for your bedding, you would be amazed at the difference
this makes to the amount of wastage. We have created
a carefully designed Nedz Fork – it allows the
clean bedding to fall through and keeps the muck on
the fork - it is a worthwhile investment.”
“The overall key is forward planning,”
states Lisa. “Many people got caught out last
year and had to pay high prices for bedding because
they needed it last minute. Get organised and get
your orders in way in advance to be sure you get the
best deal.”
