Re: [RC] My horse choked on beet pulp - clarification - Laney

Feeding beet pulp pellets safely isn't hard. Here's what I do: I use a bucket large enough to hold a day's supply of soaked & therefore much expanded beet pulp. I prepare it either am or pm but make enough for both feeds. In other words, if I mix it in the am, I'll feed it that pm & next am. It doesn't spoil (but I don't live in the desert). If you're concerned about the molasses in the shredded variety, just soak it and pour the water off. Do this until the water runs clear, then no molasses!

I am getting lots of private emails asking why I don't
feed shreds instead of the pellets so I feel I need to
clarify myself here.

Where I live, the only shredded beet pulp available
has molasses in it.  I have a suspected
insulin-resistant horse (blood test pending) so I was
directed by the vet to feed plain beet pulp without
any added molasses.

At any rate, we will start soaking the pellets when I
can start feeding them again sometime next week.
