Speedi-Beet is a quick soak, 10 minutes, starch-free, beet pulp flake. Easy to prepare, an ideal fiber source for feeding horses and ponies prone to laminitis.

Description

Choose the amount of Speedi-Beet you wish to feed your horse. Small amounts can be fed to horses prone to weight gain or as a carrier for a mineral or vitamin supplement or medication. Larger amounts can be fed as energy to performance or working horses, or to add a condition.

 

Features & Benefits

  • Starch free and containing only 5% sugar, Speedi-Beet aids a healthy digestive tract, maintains overall good health, and reduces the risk of laminitis
  • Highly digestible, quick soaking fiber flakes
  • Delivers slow-release energy
  • No added molasses
  • Feed alongside compound feeds and balancers
  • A source of hydration as Speedi-Beet holds 5x its own weight of water
  • Prebiotic effect due to beet fiber

 

Feeding rates

Feed Speedi-Beet up to 0.5 kg (dry weight so weight before soaking) per 100 kg bodyweight of a horse. For a 500 kg horse, feed up to 2.5 kg of Speedi-Beet (dry weight) each day.

 

Typical nutritional analysis

Oil 1%, protein 8%, fibre 16%, ash 9%, DE MJ/kg 11, sugar 5% and nil starch.

 

How to prepare

Add one part dry Speedi-Beet to five parts water by weight. So, half a kilogram of dry Speedi-Beet would require 2.5 litres of water. Add more water to make a sloppier mash if you want to help your horse rehydrate. You can prepare in advance if you wish, but store in cool conditions and feed within 24 hours of soaking.
