Re: [RC] beet pulp-nutritional value - Mike & Kathy Kelly
Hi Becca
Beet pulp can be a good addition when feeding grass
hay, often (but not always - best to have your hay analyzed) the grass hay is a
bit low in Ca and beet pulp is a good way to add more. You can get the
beet pulp analyzed for $16 from www.litchlabs.com . I had mine
tested, it is a good source of Ca, but also some Mag, Potassium, a little
Cu and some Zn and Manganese also. 1lb doesn't sound like too
much.
Hope this helps,

I am feeding my two boys one 1lb.
coffee can of pelleted beet pulp a day. It is soaked in 4 to 5 cans of water.
My daughters pony has an injured tendon so is confined to his stall and a
small run for much of the day. I have him on grass hay only. The beet pulp I
buy has no nutritional info on the bag at all. Am I overdoing it? They LOVE
it. Beccy in Ut.
