Feed wholesalers, equestrian shops and farm-supply chains across Scandinavia sell straw pellets under their own name or ours. This is how the cooperation usually works.

One truck, your mix

Our minimum order is one full truckload of about 24 tonnes. A standard load is 24 pallets of 15 or 16 kg bags, or 24 big bags of 1000 kg – but most distributors combine: for example 14 tonnes in small bags for the shop and 10 tonnes in big bags for larger stables.

Private label

For regular volumes we print your brand on the bag and pack to the size your customers prefer. Artwork is yours, production is ours. Lead times depend on bag printing, so plan the first private-label load a few weeks ahead.

Delivery

We deliver DAP to your warehouse in Sweden, Finland, Norway or Denmark, and also to Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands. EXW from our factories in Latvia and Lithuania is possible if you run your own logistics.

Why distributors choose a producer

  • Two factories – supply security through the winter season
  • Consistent pellet from batch to batch, checked for moisture and dust
  • Direct pricing without a trading layer
  • Bedding and heating pellets from one supplier, one truck

Straw pellets are best known as horse bedding, but a growing number of our truckloads go to farms and animal keepers using them for other animals.

Cattle and calves

In calf pens and cubicles pellets keep the lying area dry and reduce ammonia. They are typically spread as a base layer and topped with a thin layer of straw for comfort – using far less straw than a conventional bed.

Poultry

Dry litter is the key to healthy flocks. Pellets absorb quickly, stay loose when raked and keep dust low. They are used in broiler houses, layer barns and by hobby keepers alike.

Small animals and pets

Rabbits, guinea pigs, cats and rodents: straw pellets are a natural, compostable alternative to wood-based litters. Retailers sell our 15 and 16 kg bags for exactly this purpose – with their own private label if they wish.

Why straw?

  • 100% cereal straw, no binders or additives
  • Highly absorbent and low in dust
  • Small manure volume, fast composting
  • Available in 15 kg and 16 kg bags, 500 kg and 1000 kg big bags

Minimum order is one full truckload (about 24 t), which can combine several packaging formats. Ask us for a quote.

Less manure, faster compost: the hidden saving of pellet bedding

When stables compare beddings they usually look at the price per bag. The bigger difference is often at the other end of the stable – the manure heap.

Why the heap shrinks

With straw pellets only the wet spot and droppings leave the box. The clean bedding stays. Compared with loose straw or shavings, the volume that goes onto the heap each day is a fraction – which means fewer container changes, fewer tractor hours and less space.

Why it composts faster

Straw pellets are pure, finely structured plant fibre with no resins. Mixed with manure they heat up quickly and break down into usable compost within months, whereas shavings can take a year or more and can lock up nitrogen in the soil.

Where the manure goes

Farmers and biogas plants generally prefer straw-based horse manure over shavings-based manure. In several of our markets stables that switched to pellets found it easier – and sometimes cheaper – to get rid of the manure.

Same benefits for other animals

The same pellets are used as bedding for cattle, poultry and small animals, where the low volume of used bedding and fast composting are just as valuable.

Straw pellets from BaltPellet are produced in our own factories in Latvia and Lithuania and delivered by the full truckload across Scandinavia. See our products.
