OUR STRAW
100% NATURAL ITALIAN PRESSED STRAW WITH HIGH ABSORPTION
The Paglianatura litter line introduces a philosophy linked to the concept of simplicity and naturalness, respecting the environment and our animal friends. Here at Nucci Group we grow and process fodder and cereals directly in our fields (short supply chain), therefore we use strictly Italian straw, without any additives or added chemical elements. By following our proven process of shredding, drying and pressing, we obtain a high-performance natural material. The de-dusted vegetable fibers of the straw have an extraordinary agglomerating and volumetric power, they absorb up to 5 times their initial weight and allow the manure to be assimilated in a few seconds, so as to neutralize odors.
A COMPOSTABLE AND ECOLOGICAL VEGETABLE BED
Paglianatura can be disposed of in the domestic composting process or in the organic waste. The compost obtained is a stable and inert organic substance, rich in humus and micro-minerals, which become ideal for fertilizing gardens and for floriculture.
WHY STRAW
The choice of an ancient material that nature offers us.
Used for millennia in agriculture, straw summarizes the efficiency and pragmatism of peasant culture with simplicity. The vegetable litter market now offers different materials, with sometimes good, sometimes discreet absorbency, but none of these have the characteristics of the vegetable fiber in straw. More absorbent: because it is derived from the plant stem fiber, not from the waste of grain processing like other litter. Bioactive: straw fiber contains low nitrogen values and is equipped with valuable natural enzymes, essential for reducing ammonia (odor) and other substances found in the urine of our furry friends. The extraordinary capacity of these enzymes is regenerated every time when oxygenated. The operation is very simple: just mix the litter from time to time with a scoop, preferably exposing it to the open air for a few hours. In this way, we can keep the absorbing power of these essential enzymes unaltered, and have a litter that is always performing and lasting.
LOOK TO THE PAST TO UNDERSTAND THE FUTURE
Peasant culture teaches us that certain choices developed over time can still be proposed and refined with modern technology, which Nucci Group Natural PET possesses. Straw is often perceived as a poor material, but on the contrary we acknowledge its value, efficiency and performance. Paglianatura litter certainly ennobles what nature offers to us.
OUR HAY
EXCELLENCE HAY FROM A STABLE AND POLYPHITE MEADOW
Our hay grows in an uncontaminated environment in the heart of Italy, precisely on Mount Petrano (1162 a.s.l.) and the hills below, in the Umbrian-Marche Apennines in the municipality of Cagli, province of Pesaro and Urbino. All our hay production comes from stable and polyphite grass. A stable lawn is a lawn that has not undergone any plowing or tillage, not cultivated and left to spontaneous vegetation, without any type of treatment on the ground. Furthermore, by using hay from a polyphite meadow, a set of dried herbs and flowers is ensured, recreating the food habitat of our rodent friends, and providing the same nutritional properties that they would find in nature.
