Beet pulp is a highly digestible fiber source that horses ferment in the hindgut the same way they handle hay, which makes it a useful way to put weight on a hard keeper or stretch forage for a senior whose teeth no longer manage long stem hay. Soaked, it also carries water into a horse that does not drink enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHighly Digestible Fiber:\u003c\/strong\u003e A forage style calorie source the hindgut handles well, unlike a straight grain meal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMolasses Added:\u003c\/strong\u003e Improves acceptance for horses that turn their nose up at plain beet pulp.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHay Stretcher:\u003c\/strong\u003e A practical partial replacement for hay when forage is short or expensive.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGood for Seniors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soaks into a soft mash that older horses with worn teeth can chew and swallow easily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdds Water to the Diet:\u003c\/strong\u003e A soaked feeding is a simple way to get extra fluid into a poor drinker in winter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMixes Easily:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blends well with grain, supplements, or medications your horse would otherwise sort out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThirty Pound Bag:\u003c\/strong\u003e A manageable size that goes a long way, since dry beet pulp expands considerably once soaked.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoak before feeding. Cover the dry beet pulp with roughly two to three parts water and let it stand until it is soft and fluffy, about twenty to thirty minutes in warm water or several hours in cold. Feed the whole soaked portion, water and all, and mix it with grain or supplements if you like. Introduce it slowly over a week or more, starting with a small amount and building to the level you want. Make only what will be eaten within a few hours, since soaked feed sours fast in warm weather. Keep clean, fresh water available at all times and store the dry bag closed in a cool, dry place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Blue Seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecies: Horses and livestock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeed Form: Dried beet pulp with molasses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBag Size: 30 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eStop by Garoppo's Stone \u0026amp; Garden Center and Feed \u0026amp; Pet Supply to pick up a bag, or schedule local delivery within our service area.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kent","offers":[{"title":"30 LB","offer_id":56036356915492,"sku":"42397","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/garoppos.com\/products\/blue-seal-beet-pulp-with-molasses","provider":"Garoppo's Stone \u0026 Garden Center and Feed \u0026 Pet Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
