Re: [RC] beet pulp and colic: Susan G? - Maggie Mieske

Trying to read some of the most recent threads...I thought I'd pipe in...
I use zip loc bags and send my grain and beet pulp to the vet check dry.  I
also take some alfalfa pellets to add to it if I can't find some nice
alfalfa for the checks and add those in, too for some added calcium.  Nelson
usually crews for me and has it ready and it's been soaking for a little bit
when we arrive.  But I've also had to make up my own at the check and as
long as it's wet, I don't worry if it's had time to "soak".  I use small (1
quart) bags so we can always add more to it rather than have too much and
have to dump it or let it get icky if it's hot out.  And I think Susan is
right...if you don't normally feed beet pulp at home, at a ride might not be
the time to try it.  Also be careful with too many apples and carrots and
such.  Add them at least some of the time at home.
Maggie
