Unbeatable absorbency
Taking infection prevention – and milk sales - to another level
EnviroBed™ is the most absorbent animal bedding on the market. Truly sustainable, it takes infection prevention to another level, rewarding you with clean animals, clean milk and increased milk sales.
Cubicle bedding is a major infection control area
The bedding in your cubicle is a potential breeding ground for bacteria and viruses, such as Mastitis> and Digital Dermatitis>, so it is vital you choose bedding material that works for you – not against you.
How EnviroBed™ works
EnviroBed™ is made up of high-density paper particles. Dried to 95%, they offer unbeatable absorbency.
Blotting paper effect
Just like blotting paper, the particles in EnviroBed™ draw wetness, including urine and seeped milk, deep into the bedding fibres, leaving the surface bedding dry and fluffy and your animals dry and comfortable for longer.
Hard-working pH of 7.4
While some animal bedding quickly creates a moist breeding-ground for bacteria directly beneath your animals, EnviroBed™ not only draws wetness away from the surface, its natural pH of 7.4 inhibits the growth of pathnogens in any dampness deep down in the bedding.
EnviroBed™ put to the test
“In a 7.87 (20cm) deep bed, all fluids were absorbed at the bottom while the top stayed dry. The used product at the bottom of the cubicle did not contain any Mastitis-causing bacteria.

Cow Comfort and Wellbeing
Are you giving your cows the best?
Are your cows walking confidently and lying down easily in the cubicles? Are 85% of them lying at the same time? Are their hocks in good health?
If you answered no to one or more of the above, now is the perfect time to start giving your herd the best in cow comfort. By doing so, you can experience dramatic instant results in productivity.
Get the best from your cows, give them the best
By giving your herd the best in cow comfort, they reward you with more productivity, which means more milk sales. All you have to do is find the best way to achieve this>. For instance, resting, ruminating and feeding should always be encouraged to ensure wellbeing. However, the best way to encourage all three natural behaviours is to encourage just one of them: rest.
12-14 hours lying time – and the rest
During the recommended lying time of 12 to 14 hours per day, 30% more blood flows to your cows’ udders and - as a natural consequence of wellbeing through rest - greater rumination effectiveness and feed intake automatically results. Other natural benefits include less stress on hooves, less lameness, less fatigue stress and longer lifespans.
Rest is so important to wellbeing and productivity that just one extra hour of rest each day can translate to one additional litre of milk per cow, per day. It all adds up to a lot of extra milk in the tank per year. The importance of cow comfort should never be underestimated.
Cubicle comfort and hock health
As well as ensuring adequate cubicle dimensions and avoiding overcrowding, a plentiful supply of soft, non-slippery, absorbent bedding is the best way to achieve cubicle comfort and therefore the herd lying recommendation of 85%. Soft bedding is also vital for preventing hock lesions>, caused by low-comfort bedding, such as coarse sawdust and abrasive sand over hard surfaces.
You can rely on EnviroBed™ for comfort, softness and healthy hocks
Every time your cows get up, they drag their back legs out from underneath their bodies. EnviroBed™, which is the hardest-working animal bedding on the market, was created with this natural behaviour in mind. That is why you can rely on EnviroBed™ for comfort, softness and hock health> as long as your cows lie on it, as well as when they get up.
You can trust EnviroBed’s unbeatable absorbency – never slippery
EnviroBed™ offers unbeatable absorbency, so it is never slippery. As well as encouraging cow confidence when they walk on it, EnviroBed’s absorbency also maintains hock health – especially since hock lesions>, which range from patches of rubbed off hair to large swellings with open sores, can quickly become infected via wet, dirty bedding.
Why EnviroBed™ is the best way to encourage cow comfort, wellbeing and more milk sales:
- Now even more cow comfort – new and improved, softer, finer texture
- Encourages rest and rumination – and greater feed intake
- Unbeatable absorbency – draws moisture away from the surface bedding
- Keeps hocks healthy – unbeatable cushioning, softness and absorbency
- Never slippery – encourages cow confidence
- Reduces mastitis and cell count - increases milk sales
- pH of 7.4 inhibits pathnogenic bacteria
- Readily available all year round
“Using around 1kg per cow per day there are no damaged hocks, it is never slippery and the cows have purchase on the surface when they get up. Milking is quicker because the udders are so clean and we have very few cases of mastitis. The result is more milk in the tank and more milk sold for the same number of cows.
