Product description
What is Linofin?
Optimise hygiene and animal comfort in your barns with Linofin, a 100% natural bedding that is de-dusted several times. Linofin is made from high-quality flax, finely ground in a hammer mill with a 2 mm screen. This creates an extremely fine, uniform microstructure with an enormous contact surface. That larger surface opens up capillary action straight away, giving moisture absorption up to twelve times higher than traditional straw.
Thanks to this fine texture, you create a dry, stable and wonderfully soft lying area in the cubicles. This is essential for preventing joint and skin irritation (such as hock abrasions) in your herd. Linofin has a naturally disinfecting effect that minimises bacterial infection pressure in the cubicles. This has a direct positive effect on udder health and helps to lower the somatic cell count in the milk effectively.
- Very fine, soft and uniform structure (< 2 mm)
- Up to 12× more absorbent than traditional straw
- For deep-bedded cubicles and as a top layer on cow mats
- 100% natural, free from chemical additives
Properties
Why choose Linofin?
High moisture absorption
Flax absorbs liquids and ammonia very quickly, so the top layer stays dry and infection pressure in the cubicles is kept to a minimum.
Less manure, more efficiency
Thanks to its high absorbency you need less material, which means a lower manure volume and lower disposal costs.
Rapid composting
It breaks down very quickly into high-quality fertiliser, contributing to an efficient cycle on your farm.
Dust-free working environment
The product is de-dusted several times, ensuring a healthy barn climate for both farmer and livestock.
Udder health
The naturally disinfecting effect has a positive influence on udder health and the somatic cell count in the milk.
Soft and stable
A dry, soft lying area that stays perfectly in place, even on mats. Fewer hock abrasions.
