Dengie’s fibre feeds aren’t just for horses! The great protein and calcium levels found in alfalfa make it an ideal choice for dairy animals such as cows, goats and sheep and the range of grass-based products provide even more options. Many of Dengie’s feeds are also widely used for camelids such as alpacas, as well as for herbivorous zoo animals like giraffes and tapirs.
In addition, our Fresh Bed for Chickens which was developed in conjunction with the British Hen Welfare Trust, provides a consistent quality bedding for all poultry.

Unfortunately, the pine oil added to Fresh Bed makes it unsuitable for rabbits. It is a natural anti-bacterial which is why it is useful for poultry but rabbits are particularly sensitive to the pine oil so it should not be used for them.
Wheat straw is used in Fresh Bed. It is dust-extracted and chopped to provide a soft and cosy bedding.
Yes, the straw rots down much quicker than the wood or shavings found in other bedding so it makes a great addition to your compost. The pine oil is of natural origin so is also fine to add to the compost.
