I just recently started using Streufex in my barn. I have to tell you that this was an expensive change but really rather a vast improvement for the health of my horses and myself. Streufex is a straw based horse bedding that provides a pillowy soft, highly absorbent and efficient method for maintaining the horses comfort level while they are stall bound. Streufex is a pelleted horse bedding that is high tech in its packaging. The design starts out in a neat pellet form which then expands as the horses use the bedding. A wonderful property of this type of horse bedding is the way it absorbs moisture as cat litter would. It does that very efficiently, allowing removal of urine with less bulk. It also keeps the manure together so that it is easily removable as well, saving time for the caretaker.
What I find to be one of the best features of Streufex is that it is very soft for the horses to stand in. They are not as stressed by a hard unforgiving floor of concrete and rubber mats. It is also much more dust free, so much more than wood shavings, which tends to grow mold and mildew, allergens of many animals and humans who live and work in barn areas.
Streufex is more expensive to purchase at first but it lasts a long time so really it is more economical to use. For more information on Streufex, visit http://www.fex.at
