Hemp straw

Hemp is grown without the use of pesticides in the French Champagne region. The favorable climate of this region guarantees excellent quality hemp plants. Hemp is an annual plant that grows very quickly and is therefore frequently used in the paper and textile industry. Aubiose is a fiber that comes from the inside of a hemp stem. It has consistent quality and is available all year round. Aubiose is a hemp product that breaks down quickly into a fertile humus, creating only a minimal amount of manure volume. 

Aubiose is a completely different stable bed than the usual wood shavings or straw. You use Aubiose to create a stable bed for a period of approximately 3 months, based on a deep stable principle.

Below is a brief explanation of the use of Aubiose:

• Start with a clean stable. Five bales of Aubiose create the basis for a box of approximately 10m2. 

• The stable bed is constructed from 3 layers of Aubiose. A 10 liter watering can of water with a spray nozzle is added to the first layer for every 2 bales of Aubiose. Your stable will not get wet from this. This is repeated with the second layer. If you are unsure whether your horse will eat the Aubiose, you can add a liter of kitchen vinegar to the watering can of the 2nd layer. 

• with the third layer, spread another single bale, which ensures that the top layer remains nice and dry. 

• Remove the manure balls every day and rake the stable bed flat. Aubiose works well as a "pot stable". Disturb the stable bed as little as possible so that the bed retains its shape, less ammonia odor is released and insects are reduced.

• Sprinkle Aubiose as needed, normally 1 bale every ten days. 

• If there is a wet spot, you can rake the loose Aubiose to the side and remove it and sprinkle new Aubiose on top. 

• Make sure your horse has sufficient roughage available.
