Re: [RC] Beet Pulp sticky? - Zephyr Arabians
FWIW, to add to my comments about beet pulp & it's
lack of stickiness in my experience, I feed beet pulp
pellets & soak overnight. Sometimes I soak in lots of
water so it's extremely soggy, and sometimes in less
water so it's more fluffy. The horses seem to love it
both ways, and it's just not what I'd consider sticky
("like peanut butter") either way.
I also have met several vets over the years who
dislike beet pulp. None have ever given a concrete
reason for their dislike. And, they tend to be the
same vets who will recommend something like A&M for
weight gain. For those unfamiliar with A&M, it's
chopped alfalfa & molasses. Horses certainly love the
stuff, but not necessarily my idea of an ideal feed
(particularly for horses with IR, Cushings or just
general sugar sensitivity).
