Miscanthus and oil seed rape straw bedding

Direct farm supplies now stocks Miscanthus and Oil seed rape straw bedding from Fennington Fibres. Miscathus is a super absorbent bedding and is a more sustainable source of horse bedding material.

Miscanthus horse bedding

Fennington fibres pure miscanthus horse bedding

Our original animal bedding is made from 100% pure Miscanthus, harvested straight from the fields of Somerset and provides an environmentally friendly alternative to mainstream bedding. Every year we tweak and perfect the harvesting process to deliver the best crop possible.

We dust extract all our bedding twice to ensure minimal dust is left in the bag. This happens via a XL shaker and air extraction system.

  • Zero chemicals or additives
  • Double dust extracted
  • 20kg bale weight
  • Highly absorbent
  • Biodegradable muck heaps
  • Low maintenance
  • High density bales
  • Clean and easy to use.

Oil seed rape straw horse bedding

Fennington fusion

Our latest horse bedding is a blend of Miscanthus and locally sourced oil seed rape straw. Made up of 2 parts OSR straw and 1 part Miscanthus, it provides a equally effective bedding alternative.

Fusion bedding is dust extracted using the same process and offers a slightly different texture to Fibres. Keeping a small amount of miscanthus in the blend ensures the bedding unpalatable.

  • No additives
  • Double dust extracted
  • 20kg bale weight
  • Highly absorbent
  • Biodegradable muck heaps
  • Low maintenance
  • High density bales
  • Clean and easy to use.

Heygates animal feeds

Heygates animal feeds

Heygates animal feeds

Direct farm supplies is now a Heygates animal feeds stockist.

With a range of quality animal feeds for Cattle sheep pigs and horses all bagged in 20kg bags plus feeds for camelids and small animals such as Rabbit.

Direct farm supplies has been looking to expand our range of livestock feeds to suit all budgets and offer more variety to our existing range of animal feeds with a more consistent and reliable animal feed supply.

We will be buying Heygates animal feeds direct from the Heygates mill so we can offer feeds at a more reasonable price without going through a wholesaler.

With a weekly delivery schedule (mondays for us) it is possible for Direct farm supplies to get your animal feed order to you within 10 days.

We may require a minimum order to meet our own minimum order requirements depending on what we’ve already got on order.

Our main supply area is Gloucester with free delivery within 10 miles of our store. For direct delivery of Heygates animal feeds to your farm we would require a minimum order of four tonnes.
