Manufactured from 100% natural, organically grown hemp shive (the soft internal core of the hemp stem), Aubiose is globally recognised as one of the most absorbent, dust-free, and eco-friendly animal beddings available on the equestrian and smallholder market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAubiose operates on an innovative capillary sponge system: liquid is drawn immediately downwards through the dry top surface into a confined, highly absorbent base layer that holds up to \u003cstrong\u003efour times its own weight in moisture\u003c\/strong\u003e (vastly outperforming traditional straw and wood shavings). This unique action locks pungent ammonia fumes and wetness firmly at the bottom of the bed, leaving the top layer bone dry, clean, and warm for your horse to lie on. Strictly dust-extracted and naturally insect-repellent, it provides essential respiratory relief for COPD\/RAO sufferers, competition equines, sensitive poultry, and small animals alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e🐴 Why Choose Aubiose Hemp Bedding?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e💧 Exceptional Absorbency:\u003c\/strong\u003e Absorbs up to 400% of its weight in liquid, instantly drawing wetness down away from the surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e🌬️ Rigorously Dust-Free:\u003c\/strong\u003e Multi-stage mechanical dust extraction protects horses with sensitive airways, recurrent coughs, or allergies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e🫁 Natural Ammonia Lock:\u003c\/strong\u003e Traps and neutralises urine odours at the base, drastically improving indoor stable and coop air quality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e⏱️ Rapid Mucking-Out:\u003c\/strong\u003e Only droppings are removed daily, while the base layer remains undisturbed for weeks, cutting weekly labour and disposal volume in half.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e🌱 Fast-Composting Bio-Waste:\u003c\/strong\u003e Decomposes into rich, organic garden compost in just 6 to 8 weeks, preventing massive, slow-rotting muck heaps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e🐓 Multi-Species Versatility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Outstanding for chicken coops, aviary floors, rabbit hutches, and tortoises thanks to its ultra-clean, dry composition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e📊 Technical Profile \u0026amp; Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eDust-Extracted Natural Hemp Shive Bedding\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAubiose\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e100% Organically Cultivated Industrial Hemp (\u003cem\u003eCannabis sativa\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbsorption Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUp to \u003cstrong\u003e4x\u003c\/strong\u003e its dry weight \u003cem\u003e(Approx. 2x more than standard pine shavings)\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDust Level\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eVirtually Dust-Free \u003cem\u003e(Mechanically de-dusted)\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompost Breakdown\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFully decomposes into balanced compost within \u003cstrong\u003e6 to 8 weeks\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging \/ Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e20kg Heavy-Duty Polythene Wrapped Bale\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e📋 Stable Management \u0026amp; Bedding Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Aubiose Method (Standard 12ft × 12ft Stable):\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.
