Crossword Genius

Like some animal bedding that's crude in pigs' home (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

strawy

'like some animal bedding' is the definition.
(like straw)

'crude in pigs' home' is the wordplay.
'crude' becomes 'raw' (synonyms).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'pigs' home' becomes 'sty' (a pig sty).
'raw' inserted inside 'sty' is 'STRAWY'.

'that's' acts as a link.
