Böllis® Straw Structure Pellets for Your Pigs
The optimal roughage, bedding, and enrichment material in the pig barn
Animal Welfare in Pig Farming
Our Böllis® are made from 100% regional straw and feature a fiber-rich structure. They are movable and changeable and stimulate the pigs’ natural exploratory behavior. This makes Böllis® particularly suitable as enrichment material and roughage for pigs.
Thanks to their high absorbency, Böllis® are ideal as bedding for pigs in straw-based housing systems. They absorb moisture especially well, ensuring that pigs can stand and lie down in dry conditions at all times. Due to their fiber-rich structure—unlike conventional straw pellets—they are also very low in dust. Ammonia is bound, and the barn climate is sustainably improved.
Automatic pellet feeders can be filled with Böllis® without any problems. The additional enrichment keeps pigs active for longer periods and thus specifically promotes animal welfare. At the same time, the slurry remains flowable due to the short fiber structure. This means the straw pellets meet the requirements of the German Animal Welfare Act for Farm Animals (Tierschutz-Nutztierhaltungsverordnung) pursuant to § 26 (1). Tail biting is effectively prevented!

Frequently Asked Questions
How much Böllis® do I need to use as bedding?
The amount of bedding required varies depending on the housing system and the space available per animal. We are happy to provide individual advice for your farm and work together with you to find the best solution for your animals and your operation.
How should Böllis® be stored?
Thanks to their compactness and low bedding requirement, Böllis® can be stored in a very space-saving and uncomplicated manner. Make sure to protect Böllis® from precipitation so that their pellet form is permanently maintained.
Which type of flooring are Böllis® suitable for?
Böllis® can be used on all types of flooring.
Where and how can the resulting manure be utilized?
The manure produced by using Böllis® as bedding is particularly valuable. During the pressing of the straw, the lignin structure in the cell walls is broken down, allowing the pellets to decompose especially well in the soil and in biogas plants, achieving a significantly higher gas yield compared to conventional manure. Optionally, you can rent a convenient manure container from us for manure storage.
Böllis® for horses
More hygiene in the horse stall and less work for you: Böllis® are excellent as bedding material for horse stalls. Their enormous absorbency binds moisture and ensures an optimal stable climate. With Böllis®, stall care is quick and easy.
Böllis® for cattle
Automated bedding, less labor, and healthier animals – with Böllis® it’s all easy. Whether in deep-litter barns, cubicles, or calf hutches: our straw pellets are the perfect bedding material. Your cattle stay dry, their joints are protected, bacterial pressure is reduced, and udder health improves noticeably.
Böllis® for poultry
Böllis® straw structure pellets have high absorbency, are virtually germ-free, and—thanks to their structure-rich composition—are perfect for pecking. They are movable and therefore offer suitable bedding as well as ideal enrichment material for poultry. As CF+, Böllis® are also suitable for broiler production: low in dust, virtually germ-free, and highly absorbent, CF+ improves your barn climate.
