A Healthier, Longer Lasting Bedding Which Reduces Flys, Odor, and Bacteria.

Hemp grows extremely fast, from seed to 10 feet tall in less than 90 days. To transport nutrients and water, long hollow veins grow through the plant called xylem. These veins create maximum surface area within hemp hurd for ample moisture storage.

The xylem are held together with an antioxidant glue called lignin. By weight, lignin makes up 24% of hemp hurd. Lignin has a complex structure which is highly reactionary with oxidizing gases and bacteria forming microbes. The antioxidant properties within lignin eliminates harmful oxidizing ammonia gases emanated from animal waste.

Additionally, hemp hurd contains a small yet concentrated amount of essential oil. This oil acts as a natural pesticide to protect the plant from insects during growth. The presence of this oil has been proven to reduce the livability of parasites, larve, and mites.

Hemp bedding users report better smelling, more dry barns with less flys.

  • Natural antioxidant glue within hemp hurd acts like an air filter for your animal’s stall. Ammonia is an oxidizing gas that emanates from animal waste. Hemp hurd is remarkably lignin abundant, an antioxidant, which is proven to reduce the presence of ammonia gas and odor.

  • Lignin, a complex antioxidant, glue like compound which makes up 24% of the total mass within hemp bedding acts as a natural antifungal / antibacterial agent. Peer reviewed studies show bacteria is less likely to grow on hemp hurd vs wood shavings.

  • Hemp hurd contains non allergenic essential oils with natural pesticide like properties. These acarcidal oils are proven to reduce the presence of larve, ticks and mites.

  • Like humans, it is unhealthy for animals to live in damp environments. Hemp hurd is the most absorbent all natural animal bedding available. Hemp’s sponge like interior allows moisture to be absorbed and dried; creating a significantly more dry bedding environment. Limiting moisture is proven to reduce skin & coat irritation.

  • Hemp hurd is very soft and spongey. After all, it is bedding. Preliminary equine studies show potential longer sleep cycles when utilizing hemp hurd bedding. Quick drying hemp bedding is believed to reduce the potential of hoof-rot. Thermo retentive properties within hemp help regulate temperature promoting better rest.

  • Idaho Organics ’s bedding is processed with patented, state of the art, air movement technology. Our process is proven to effectively remove dust and impurities. Low dust environments are proven to be healthier for animals respiratory systems and eye health.
