Re: Beetpulp based feed

No offense taken, I stand corrected. I called Dr. Les Breuer, who is the
research Nutritionist for Purina Mills. He informed me that it has been a
long time practice of feeding beet pulp to horses. Complete Advantage was
developed in 1987 and although probably not the first complete beet pulp
feed on the market, probabaly  was the firstt one that was research tested
for digestability and  performance physiology.
