Chopped straw

The proven entry level

The classic
Chopped straw as a square bale

Häckselstroh is the foundation of our range and the ideal entry point for farms switching from conventional long straw or field-chopped straw. Because it's chopped in a stationary process right in our hall, every bale is evenly processed, fibrous and dust-extracted multiple times – for noticeably less work when bedding down and mucking out.

What customers say

Perfect for sensitive horses

„Significantly less dusty, extremely absorbent and a consistently exact stalk length – compared to ordinary field-chopped straw, a huge difference in quality for our stalls.“

Pascal D. (horse farm)

Higher absorbency, less mucking out

„Switching from long straw to Manz chopped straw paid off immediately: the absorbency is enormous, the stable stays dry for longer and mucking out takes half the time.“

Florian R. (pig farmer)

The difference lies in the dust removal

„For years we used standard industrial straw. Only when we switched to Manz did we see what real dust removal makes possible – hardly any airborne dust in the pens and healthier animals.“

Kevin M. (bull fattening farm)
