our product range:
Fine Bed
Fine Bed® cubicle conditioner is designed to be used sparingly on the mat or mattress, to control moisture and keep cattle clean and hygienic. Since it’s so fine and 100% dry, only one large cup of product is required per cow mat- meaning a bag covers up to 50 cubicles! We recommend bedding twice daily – little and often!
Premium Sawdust – Powder Bed
Powder Bed was developed by Platts to provide a hygienic and comfortable cubicle drying solution for your dairy cows, using a unique, super-fine consistency of softwood sawdust to ensure a dry and clean environment for your cattle.
Mixbed

What is the best bedding for cows?
Sawdust is one of the best bedding materials for cows due to its excellent absorbency, comfort, and availability. It helps keep cows dry, reduces bacteria growth, and provides a soft surface for resting. Compared to other bedding options like straw or sand, sawdust is easier to spread, more cost-effective, and improves cubicle hygiene.
How often should I change sawdust bedding?
We recommend bedding down twice a day to maintain optimal cow comfort and hygiene. Using sawdust bales is an excellent way to monitor your usage, allowing you to accurately calculate the amount needed and manage costs effectively.
Since sawdust is highly absorbent, less is more – only one coffee cup of sawdust per cubicle is required. On average, one bale covers up to 50 cubicles, making it a cost-effective and efficient bedding solution. Regular maintenance helps keep cows dry, reduces bacteria growth, and supports overall herd health.
How much does a load of sawdust cost?
The prices of our sawdust cubicle conditioner vary for several reasons. We offer our premium products in bales, with 55 bales per pallet. Load sizes also vary, with options including an artic load containing 26 pallets or a rigid load with 16 pallets.
Alternatively, you can order our sawdust products in bulk, averaging 22 tonnes.
