I was under the impression that beet pulp was very low in sugar -- I thought that was one of the reasons it is being used in all of these "safe" feeds. ? If molasses was added, then it would be a different story. ? I have been draining the soak water and then rinsing and draining again, since I don't know whether the stuff I buy has added molasses or not. ?

I read in Nick Warhol's ride story (congrats Judy!)?that he specifically didn't use beet pulp in Dawn's mash.? I also have heard 2nd hand info that two vets didn't recommend beet pulp.? Why?

Is it because recently it is harder to find it without molasses?? Didn't it used to come without molasses?? And if it has it, can't it simply be drained off after soaking?

It seems I used to hear the praises of beet pulp as opposed to bran, my dusty memory seems to recall something about bran having too high a phosphorus level and that beet pulp was more like forage?
