Miscanthus acts as a superior bedding for animals including horses, poultry, cattle and pets. Its spongy inner core is highly absorbent, biodegradable and hygienic, compared to other traditional bedding products.

Miscanthus is a perennial grass with bamboo-like stems that can grow to heights of 13 feet in one season. It grows on marginal land and is highly water-efficient and non-invasive making it an ideal crop for many farmers looking to transition away from traditional low-value crops. Because of its incredible deep roots, it is considered one of the world’s best carbon-sequestering grasses.

The KME system that has been installed consists of : bale breaker, shredder, hammer mill, dust extraction & bulking hopper. This system can be fed by large round or sqaure bales through the bale breaker. Or can be fed pre-chopped product directly into the hopper.

The end bales are 20kg and dust free perfect for sale to horse owners!
