EnviroSystems identified that Animal Welfare and Hygienic Comfortable Bedding is a key component of Farm Animal Welfare.

mooProduced by EnviroSystems (UK) Ltd, their objective was to solve the age-old problem of offering housed livestock a plentiful supply of affordable and entirely effective animal bedding. Through centuries, farmers have restricted the bedding of animals as it has to be shared round all the livestock and is deemed to be "costly". In the case of straw it is often used as a feed and therefore is only sparingly used as bedding. Even high value pedigree animals are often left with no bedding at all on their lying areas. An average dairy farm will spend only 2 - 3% of the total outgoings on the farm in any 12 months on buying bedding. This is exceptionally low when shortage of bedding causes stress and health problems and in the case of dairy cows, mastitis. This disease challenge is the greatest on all dairy farms and one, which can be kept to a minimum with the correct bedding used in sufficient quantities.

By introducing a completely new bedding material to the existing market, which is at present undersupplied and a "sellers market", EnviroSystems is able to assist in lowering costs for farmers, as there will be more availability of bedding. In addition, all EnviroBed is heat treated, therefore pathogen free when delivered to farm. While assisting in keeping a ceiling on the cost per tonne by adding another product to the marketplace, EnviroSystems also hopes to encourage farmers to see the health benefits of a softer, safer, more absorbent product which bio-degrades easily and will spread on land after use and cause no harm to the soil or small life forms.

The EnviroSystems team are bringing the right bedding solutions to the market place, and provide a source of advice and expertise on all animal bedding issues for livestock keepers. See page on EnviroBed Bugs for a natural product which maintains clean dry healthy deep beds for cattle at an economical price and is a once a month only treatment.
