Pellebed

Specialise straw crumble poultry litter for broilers

Specialist straw crumble litter for broilers.

Pellebed offers excellent absorbency with low dust and low micro counts. The crumble texture encourages natural dust-bathing behaviour and improves bird welfare.

Now with added straw shreds for improved floor coverage and consistent temperature for chicks.

Unique Straw Crumble Litter

Our specialist straw pelleting technique has been developed to create a looser crumble texture which covers the floor better than wood pellets, and breaks down faster to provide a soft and supportive bedding environment, while still offering exceptional absorbency qualities.

Sustainability

We use 100% British straw in our poultry litter products, and work to reduce our carbon footprint by baling some of our straw locally to our production plant. Our bale and bag packaging uses recycled content and is itself recyclable.

Added Value

Used Pellebed and chopped-straw poultry litter is of more value to Anaerobic Digestion plants than wood based products due to its higher gas yields.

Delivery

Bulk Pellebed litter can be delivered in our own lorries and blown into poultry sheds, providing a more biosecure option. The product can then be spread using commonly-used machinery. Bagged Pellebed is also available by the pallet.

Baled chopped straw products are delivered on lorries equipped with mounted forklift trucks that can off-load from one side.
