SHREDDED BEET PULP
Beet pulp chips are fibrous flakes obtained from sugar beet after the sugar extraction process. It is dried to reduce the water content to around 9%. Sugar beet pulp fiber is inexpensive, highly digestible and an extremely palatable food in a form considered less dusty than hay. Molasses can be added to shreds, called molasses shreds, to make them sweeter and more desirable for fussy, active or older horses, and help them maintain their weight at an optimum level.
Beet pulp allows animals to be fully nourished and reduces the risk of bloating and digestive disorders. For show animals, sugar beet pulp has a cooling effect and improves coat bloom for a better appearance, and when soaked in water, it provides succulence in the ration and adds water to the diet. Sugar beet pulp provides a variety of feed rations, firms up stools for cleaner paddock function and allows increased food intake.
ALTERNATIVE FACT
Sugar beet chips are usually fed to horses in addition to hay, and can be used as a replacement feed for older horses with chewing or digestion difficulties.
