Product description
What is Linogrof?
Linogrof consists of the 100% natural woody core particles (shives) of the flax plant, obtained during scutching. During processing the product undergoes multiple mechanical de-dusting and extraction. The result: a virtually dust-free, uniform and highly absorbent bulk product.
- Premium coarse grade: airy, springy and clump-free
- Absorbs up to 450% of its own weight
- Virtually dust-free thanks to multiple extraction
- 100% biodegradable and pH-neutral

Frequently asked questions
Good to know
What is Linogrof suitable for?
For cattle, poultry and horses. Industry also uses flax shives as a sustainable raw material for bio-composites and shive boards.
How does it differ from Linofin?
Linogrof is coarse and airy, for lime-straw mixes, poultry, horses and industry. Linofin is finely ground (< 2 mm) and soft, ideal for dairy cow cubicles. See the comparison.
Can I mix Linogrof with straw or lime?
Yes. Cattle farmers use Linogrof as cubicle bedding or in lime-straw mixes. It is also an alternative to chopped straw.
What do I do with the manure?
Flax shives break down completely within 8 to 12 weeks into a pH-neutral fertiliser that arable farmers love, making your manure easier to place.
What is the minimum order?
One load. Linogrof is delivered by walking-floor trailer, from 92 m³. So there’s no need to order several trucks.
How much does a load weigh?
With a bulk density of approx. 100 to 120 kg/m³, a 92 m³ load weighs roughly 9 to 11 tonnes.
