Van de Bilt flax shives
Sustainable bedding for all your livestock!
Flax shives are a by-product obtained from the scutching process that turns straw flax into finer fibers. Flax shives are the short pieces of woody waste beaten from the straw when the fibers are separated. The purity of the shives depends on their intended purpose. Flax shives from van de Bilt zaden en vlas bv are available in varying degrees of purity.
Very pure flax shives are the perfect bedding material for horses with allergic airway disorders and hoof problems, as they will not eat the bedding if they are bored or hungry. Two bales of shives are ideal to spread as a basic bedding material in the stable. The shives inhibit ammonia formation for up to eight weeks and ensure a dry base for the horse to stand on.
The shives can also be supplied in bulk if purity is less important. For example, for use as bedding for cattle, goats, sheep or poultry.
