==========================================

Sorry about the formatting of those abstracts--out of my control--or my 
abilities to control.

The gist of the papers is that beet pulp acts as a modest chelator. It does 
attach itself to forms of metals (minerals)and pull them out of feedstuffs to 
be eliminated. It does so enough to compromise bone density and bone mineral 
content in growing foals. It also limits digestion of other macro-nutrients, 
carbs and fats in the case of the paper included in that small batch submitted. 
In contrast, plain hay contributes some minerals and other micronutrients to 
the blood stream.

Moderation in all things, but lean toward the right things and away from the 
wrong things. Specificity rules the roost.
