Beet Pulp

Beet pulp is a byproduct of sugar beet processing, obtained after the sugar has been extracted from the beet root. Beet pulp is high in fermentable fiber, making it a valuable energy source for horses. These highly digestible fibres provides a slow-release energy source, which helps maintain gut health and provides energy without the risks associated with high-starch feeds.

In equine diets, beet pulp is often used as a forage extender or supplement, particularly for horses that require additional calories but need to avoid excessive starch intake. It is a popular feed for senior horses, hard keepers, and those with metabolic conditions due to its high fiber and low sugar content.
