Natural bedding for horses and poultry
A 100% natural blend of peat and wood that keeps the environment dry, cuts odours, and is good for your animals and the soil.
Why peat
Most bedding is based on straw or wood shavings. Arber starts from peat instead — still a rare choice on farms.
Peat is a naturally absorbent, slightly acidic raw material of Baltic origin, from the same extraction sites year after year. That base is what makes the difference: it holds more moisture, limits odour and ammonia, and at the end of its cycle returns to the soil as compost.
Born from Arber’s experience in professional substrates: 30 years of a selected supply chain and, since 1996, over 7 million m³ of substrate brought to market. The same care, now serving your animals.

A blend of three natural materials
A 100% natural blend, no chemical additives. Proportions are part of the Arber formulation.
Drier for longer, more hygienic, more practical
Three things that change the daily management of bedding.
More absorbency, less ammonia
Peat absorbs up to 5–7 times its weight in water and its naturally acidic pH limits ammonia formation by up to 90%. Bedding stays dry longer, with fewer changes and less labour.
Naturally clean, low dust
A low microbial load curbs bacteria and fungi with no chemical additives. Low dust means cleaner air and fewer respiratory irritations, for the animals and for the people who work with them.
Light, insulating, compostable
Light to handle and quick to replace, it keeps the base thermally stable. At the end of its cycle it returns to the soil as natural compost: a loop that closes.
One solution for poultry and horses
One product, two worlds: the same natural bedding serves both henhouses and stables.
Henhouses & layers
A dry, clean environment supports flock health and air quality.

Boxes, paddocks & stables
Soft, dry bedding for the horse’s daily comfort and cleanliness.
- Protects hooves and limbs, keeps the coat clean
- Dampens noise and helps keep horses calm
- Easy to remove thanks to its light structure

Frequently asked questions
The questions we hear most from farmers and stables. If yours isn’t here, write to us.
Which animals is Arber Animal Bedding suitable for?
Poultry (hens, chickens, backyard flocks and farms) and horses (boxes, paddocks, professional and amateur stables).
How long does it stay dry?
Peat absorbs up to 5–7 times its weight in water, so the bedding stays dry longer and needs fewer changes than straw or plain shavings.
Does it really reduce odour and ammonia?
Yes. Peat’s naturally acidic pH limits ammonia formation by up to 90%, improving air quality.
Is it a natural product?
Yes, it is 100% natural and free from chemical additives: only brown peat, peat fibre and wood shavings.
Can it be reused after use?
Yes: at the end of its cycle it can be reused as natural compost and returned to the soil.
Which formats are available?
70 L bag, 250 L bag and 5 m³ Big Bale.
