Summit 131 Clear-Water Barley Straw for Livestock Troughs — Treats Up to 1000 Gallons

Keep trough water clean and ready for your livestock

Summit 131 Clear-Water Barley Straw is designed to help maintain clearer water in watering troughs. The barley straw is housed inside a sturdy plastic casing, keeping the natural material contained and making handling tidy. In everyday farming, this simple, natural option supports longer intervals between cleanings and may help reduce cloudy water caused by small debris and algae in outdoor settings.

What makes it work

The barley straw operates as a gentle clarifier. When positioned in the trough, it gradually releases natural compounds that can help clarify water and slow the growth of some floating debris. The plastic casing minimizes mess and makes disposal easier at the end of the cycle, compared to loose bales.
