Böllis® premium straw structure pellets for your horse
Your horse is in the right place with us
Dust-free and practical
Horse owners and riding facility operators are always on the lookout for alternative bedding for horses – the well-being of the horse is the top priority: the bedding should be low-dust or ideally even dust-free to prevent allergies, as a large number of horses react sensitively to dust and mold spores that are spread through shaken straw in the horse stable. Chronic diseases can develop – a no-go for sport horses and leisure horses alike. The horse’s hooves and joints should also be protected by ammonia-binding, absorbent and soft bedding. Böllis® straw pellets combine the requirements and wishes of horse owners and raise the quality of horse bedding to a new level in horse stables.
Böllis® are structure-rich pellets made from pure, natural straw and are strongly heated during the manufacturing process, which ensures that possible germs are killed. This makes a positive contribution to the stable climate and supports your horse’s health. We use rye, wheat or triticale straw. With our virtually dust-free bedding, it’s not just your horse that benefits – you do too! Daily mucking out is quick and uncomplicated. Significantly less manure is produced, you need less storage space than with conventional horse bedding and reduce the financial expense of disposal. This can reduce operating costs and your time expenditure by a lot.

Highly absorbent
With an extreme absorbency of 400 %, Böllis® not only ensure high ammonia binding, but are also gentle on the hoof and contribute to a healthy stable climate.
Low dust
In contrast to conventional straw pellets, the fiber-rich straw structure remains in the Böllis®. This avoids dust pollution in the stable and thus ensures greater well-being for the horses. Our Böllis® are therefore particularly suitable for horses with allergies.
Germ-free
Due to the high pressure and frictional energy in the manufacturing process, the Böllis® are heated to a high temperature, which kills any germs.
Comfortable
Böllis® form a soft, sure-footed mattress on which horses can lie comfortably and stand up without injury. The soft consistency of Böllis® is also slip-resistant.
Use of the Böllis®
1. first bedding
You need approx. 6-7 kg per m² of Böllis® Stroh Strukturpellets as bedding for the first application. (For a stable of about 12 m², this corresponds to about 75 kg for the basic bedding).
Our Böllis® are available in paper bags, various big bag sizes or as loose tipped and blown into the silo.
Tip: Do you think the amount of bedding is too little? Wait and see, steps 3 and 4 are still to come!
2. distribute litter
Spread the Böllis® centrally and evenly on the clean floor surface of the horse box. You can spread it with a rake.
3. moisten the litter
Now moisten the pellets with approx. 1 liter of water per m². A watering can is helpful. This allows the Böllis® straw structure pellets to swell. You can now mix the pellets again with a rake or fork so that they swell evenly.
Our expert tip: Use warm water to reduce the swelling time.
4. Kurz warten
Wait approx. 30 minutes until the Böllis® straw pellets have swollen. Now the horse can go back into the box. Over the next few hours and days, the horse will crush the Böllis® through its natural movement.
Mat formation: The horse’s movement creates a comfortable, soft bedding mat. The original shape of the Böllis® is then no longer recognizable.
5. Täglicher Aufwand
We recommend removing horse droppings daily with a boll fork. Wet spots should also be removed. If necessary, 2.5 kg of Böllis® per m² can be added daily. The top dressing does not need to be watered.
6. Einstreu wechseln
We recommend re-littering the horse box after every worming treatment.

Frequently asked questions
Do horses eat the Böllis®?
As a rule, horses and ponies do not eat the Böllis®. At the beginning, their natural exploratory behavior could lead them to nibble on the Böllis®. However, our experience has shown that most horses refrain from doing so after a short time.
How are Böllis® stored?
Due to their compactness and low bedding requirement, Böllis® can be stored in a very space-saving and uncomplicated manner. Böllis® should be stored away from precipitation so that they retain their pellet shape.
Which surfaces are Böllis® suitable for?
Böllis® are suitable for all types of surfaces.
Where and how can the manure produced be recycled?
The manure produced by bedding with Böllis® is particularly valuable. Because the lignin structure in the cell walls is broken up when the straw is pressed, the pellets decompose particularly well in the soil and in the biogas plant and have a particularly high gas yield compared to conventional manure. Optionally, you can hire a manure container from us, which we will empty free of charge when filled with pure Böllis® manure.
Böllis® for cattle
Our straw pellets can be used for automated bedding. Regardless of whether it’s for a pedal manure barn, deep stall or calf igloos – with our Böllis® we provide you with the perfect bedding material. With Böllis®, your cattle stay dry, joints are protected, bacterial pressure is reduced and udder health is promoted.
Böllis® for pigs
Roughage, bedding and activity material in one product! In the interests of animal welfare, our straw pellets stimulate the pigs’ natural exploratory behavior and at the same time ensure optimum roughage supplementation.
Böllis® for poultry
Böllis® premium textured pellets have high absorbency, are virtually germ-free and are perfect for pecking due to their rich texture. They are flexible and therefore provide the right litter and the perfect activity material for poultry.
