RE: [RC] Still confused about beet pulp - Susan E. Garlinghouse, D.V.M.
Plain beet pulp with every last morsal and
nuance of molasses removed is still high in soluble fiber, and provides more
calories per pound than the richest hay on earth. So if your mare does fine
(or even too fine) on just hay or whatever, then skip the beet pulp. She doesn’t
need the calories.

Ok,
I know it's probably been talked to death. But I'm still confused about feeding
beet pulp. I have a Morgan mare who is a very easy keeper and becomes obese by
anything but near starvation. Is plain beet pulp - no molasses added, a high
carb or low carb food source, and is it a good thing to feed her? Thanks
