Fresh, fresh-smelling and gold wheat straw from Mikó Straw!
The good and warm climate favors to the harvest of the straw, so we have started to produce the fresh straw bedding for you! We are working on hard to fill up our covered storages, so we can offer you the best quality bedding!
Did you know that the time of ripening of wheat is connected to certain days? There are still some Hungarian land surveyors who follow this tradition and they have already started to harverst and the fist bales have arrived to our Mikó Straw storages.
How do we harvest in Hungary? After controlling the ears and stalks, which should be gold, there is a test harvest on a small piece of land. The corp is brought to a lab where its water-fibre and whitelevel are tested and controlled. At this point it also tested, if there was any fusarium or other harmful infection. If all rates are correct, the harvest can be started.
As straw is a source of precious resources, so many land surveyors forage it back into the land. Others let the straw dry and bale them into small- big our round bales. At Mikó Straw we collect thousands of bales which we keep under covered storages. Everyone waited for the harvest this year, as thanks to the good and warm weather there was a really good harvest! This is especially good for us as there is more, better and healthier straw at a good harvest!
We are personally testing the quality of stored straw to make sure that you only get dry, healthy and quality straw which protects your and your horses health!

There are different types of straw such as wheat straw, barley straw, rye straw or oat straw. Let’s take a look at the different characteristics of these types!
Wheat Straw as Bedding/ Chopped and Dedusted Wheat Straw
The most commonly used bedding is made from wheat straw and it is described as the best bedding for animals. It is also the most absorbent among the different types of straw. Besides, horses like to eat wheat straw because it is not bitter.
Chopped and dedusted wheat straw, like Mikó Straw, is quite new on the market. In comparison to normal wheat straw it is 10 times more absorbent and there will be 75% less manure. Horses do not really like to eat chopped straw because it too small for them and they cannot chew it properly. Chopped and dedusted straw is ideal for allergic horses!
Rye Straw
Rye Straw is not so popular among horses as it contains lingin which is too bitter for these animals. Besides it is too hard and too long for them. It is not as absorbent as wheat straw or chopped straw!
Barely Straw
The second place among the different types of beddings ist he barely straw but it makes a cache of different risks: the beards can harm the mouth and the face of the horse, there could be some Apera spica-venti, which is responsible for the different illnesses of horses. Although it is really absorbent and has a high nutrition value.
Oat Straw
It is not so frequently used as it is not really absorbent. If you want to use this kind of straw, you should be careful to buy really dry oat straw because it gets mildew easily. Horses really like its taste but one should be careful with it because horses can eat too much from it and they can get diarrhea very easily.
I hope that you will find our article about the different types of straw useful!
