"The horse's wellbeing, economics of use and reduced waste disposal are only some of the reasons why several legends of the racing industry are already using STREUfex with great success."

STREUfex

Benefits to the Horse:

  • Super Absorbent: STREUfex can absorb 4 to 5 times its own weight. Manure is coated with STREUfex and easy to remove. Urine is typically absorbed in one small visible area and is easily removed and replaced with clean bedding. No waste is missed.
  • Great Insulation: STREUfex forms a soft base that remains consistent over time. An even coverage of stall floors ensures that horses are protected from cold and dampness and provides a soft, comfortable, bed for sore or tired muscles and joints.
  • Reduction in Harmful Dust Particles (without watering): STREUfex bedding reduces contaminants in the air (no fine dirt or wooden particles) as dust particles are extracted during the production process. This produces and environment that is better for horses prone to respiratory ailments (this is supported by numerous studies conducted on horses and the product in the US & UK).
