straw bedding

Livestock sleeping material

Straw bedding is dried grain stalks used as cushioning and insulation for animals, typically spread on stable or barn floors for horses, cattle, or small livestock.

The straw absorbs moisture and provides warmth: We need to change the straw bedding in the chicken coop.

It's valued for being inexpensive and biodegradable, composting easily after use.
