Better animal welfare and work environment
With Funki MultiStraw
Funki MultiStraw is an automatic bedding distribution system for livestock housing. It can deliver several times a day, bringing multiple benefits to farming. The system improves the working environment by keeping the barn cleaner and reducing manual labor.
Regular straw distribution ensures optimal usage, lowering straw consumption while also reducing dust levels – creating a healthier environment for both animals and workers. Designed to handle cut large bales directly, it makes the process simple and efficient.
Automatic bedding distribution system
for Livestock Housing
Funki MultiStraw is an automatic bedding distribution system for livestock housing. It delivers small, regular bedding allocations throughout the day, cutting manual work, dust and straw use while keeping pens dry and clean.. It ensures a consistent supply of bedding throughout the day, reducing manual labor and creating smoother daily operations. The system is suitable for various bedding materials such as chopped straw, sawdust, or pellets.
Key features:
- Automatic bedding distribution multiple times per day
- Adapted to the farm’s design and size
- Handles chopped large bales directly in the mixer
- Almost unlimited number of dispensers
- Large Ø76 mm pipes with special chain for efficient transport
Advantages of our automatic bedding distribution system
An automatic bedding distribution system significantly reduces labor. Because all dispensers release at the same time, dust peaks stay short and limited. This is a major improvement over pen-by-pen systems that spread straw for longer periods. In addition, regular, controlled allocations cut bedding use and keep the lying area consistently dry and clean.
Applications for cattle, sheep, goats – and pigs in deep bedding
In deep-bedded housing, the automatic bedding distribution system keeps the top layer fresh and dry across the entire surface. As a result, animal comfort improves and barns stay cleaner. Compared with manual spreading, the system also reduces the total amount of bedding needed.
Pig Production
The system improves animal welfare while supporting efficient barn management
Funki MultiStraw, our automatic bedding distribution system, delivers fresh, well-timed straw and keeps the lying area dry. As a result, straw is used efficiently and pigs rest on a clean, comfortable surface.
- Optimal use of straw
Regular, precise distribution defines a dry area in each pen. Consequently, you use less straw
- Fresh straw available
Pigs can eat the straw, supporting a healthy digestive system with a high fiber intake.
- Stress prevention
Fixed feeding times reduce stress related to straw allocation.
- Easy documentation
Automatic control makes it simple to record straw distribution and adjust both amounts and frequency.
Cattle
Efficient use of straw in cattle housing
Our automatic bedding distribution system keeps cubicles consistently dry and limits dust peaks. As a result, the udder environment stays healthy and bedding remains clean.
- Consistently dry cubicles
Multiple daily allocations keep the bedding dry and clean for improved udder health. - Less stress in the barn
The stationary system removes tractor runs through the barn. Therefore, noise and disturbances drop, and cows settle faster. - Reduced dust levels
Unlike blowing systems, Funki MultiStraw distributes straw gently. Consequently, dust is minimized and the risk of eye irritation in the herd is lower.
“We used to distribute the straw the old fashion way, with a wagon and a shovel. Now, we have a Funki straw system. It saves us about four work hours weekly, and now we don’t have any dust nuisance.”
Poultry
Improved activity and welfare for hens
With an automatic bedding distribution system each morning (after laying) and again before the resting period, hens leave the nests and show natural behaviours such as scratching and foraging. As a result, activity rises and litter use becomes more even.
- Timed activity boosts
Scheduled allocations trigger predictable movement and reduce loafing in nests. - Foraging motivation
Mix a small amount of maize, oats, or other grains with the straw. Consequently, hens forage longer and stay engaged. - Overall welfare
Consistent, gentle distribution supports natural behaviour and flock welfare. In short, the automatic straw distribution system turns small doses of straw into daily enrichmen
