100% NZ made from sustainable pine
Certifiably responsibly grown in Northland, New Zealand
-
Made from dehydrated pine from the highest density pine forests in Northland NZ (>475kg/m3), with a low moisture content (<7.5%) - physical properties that give HERDD superior absorbency.
Effectively soak up urine, watch HERDD clump around moisture when fully saturated, & disguise ammonia odours with its natural pine oils.
-
Convenient to fill a stall from empty with oversized 22kg bags that expand ~4x in volume.
Simple to top-up, less frequently - we recommend 1 bag/fortnight to replenish what has been taken out.
-
With equal parts water added, each bag of HERDD expands to multiples of its dry state (~4x), providing more, long lasting bedding.
There is more bedding in a HERDD bag than a 19kg shavings bale! (that’s economical!)
-
Unsoiled bedding is long lasting for 12 months or more (with good stable management & ventilation)
-
HERDD's innate charateristics are suited to making animals with sensitive airways, comfortable.
HERDD is low dust with a low moisture content (dehydrated), so it is excellent for those horses' that NEED a DRY & LOW DUST rest environment to help with respiratory conditions 🤧
HERDD is able to be used UNactivated (like a litter) straight out of the bag, if required.
Our products is happily used by cats, rabbits, chickens, puppies - all of which have the tiniest of lungs & sensitive airways.
-
Safe for animals of all ages, including foals & chickens.
Suitable for use on any stable flooring - HERDD packs down giving softness & grip to concrete bases, lime or dirt floors, & very effective toilet paper on top of rubber matting 🧻
We recommend 7 bags if you have rubber floors, or 9 bags if you don’t.
-
HERDD packaging is 100% compostable, as is the contents of the bag. HERDD bedding contains no bark, tar, chemicals or added resin.
It’s truly eco-friendly.
-
HERDD finely coats manure droppings (like chicken nuggets) & clumps around urine, making mucking out quick & easy
-
Reduce manure pile accumulation over time, because with HERDD, you’ll remove minimal amounts of soiled bedding during muck out, leaving more of the good-stuff in.
And, you won’t have any plastic to get rid of, just a 100% compostable paper bag.
-
We can promise you a reliable supply of bedding for your horses & farm animals, every week of the year.
