[RC] sugar in beet pulp and laminitis issues - Patti KuvikSusan... Thanks for the heads up. Almost sounds like it had to have molasses added - Dairy One sugar tests on 40 beet pulp samples (5/1/2000 through 4/30/2003) had a sugar range of 7.5 to 13.1 with an average of 10.3%. ( http://www.dairyone.com/Forage/FeedComp/ - although this part of their web site seems to be broke today) I was planning on sending my beet pulp pellets (Manna-Pro) for analysis for sugar/starch/iron anyway ( I generally use Dairy One http://www.dairyone.com/Forage/services/Forage/forage_Price_List.htm) so will get it off tomorrow and forward the results to you when I get them. As long as I'm getting them done, anything else you'd like to see tested on them - could do a full wet chem #10 if you'd like? Patti Kuvik (Mom to an insulin resistant mare and possible IR rescue Arab gelding) In the meantime, I'm rounding up some more samples of beet pulp from = sources around the country for analysis and will see how they come back. = Stay tuned. :-)) Susan Garlinghouse, DVM, MS ============================================================ I still prefer what it is that BH100, Tevis, The Duck's Soup of Endurance, etc. has to offer...but, to see a horse canter over sand for those distances...Good Lord, it humbles me. ~ Frank Solano ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
