Dodson & Horrell KwikBeet – 20kgUnmolassed sugar beet pulp in flake form, ready to feed ten minutes after water goes on it rather than the overnight soak a traditional shredded beet demands. That alone changes how usable beet pulp is on a busy yard, and it removes the risk that comes with a bucket left to ferment in warm weather.Because the molasses has been taken out, sugar sits at 5% and starch at 1% — low enough for laminitis-prone ponies, which is not true of molassed beet. What remains is highly digestible fibre at 16.5%, fermented in the hindgut to release energy slowly at an estimated 11 MJ/kg, plus a good deal of moisture, which is often the real reason people feed it.Performance & Benefits High in digestible fibre at 16.5%, naturally low in sugar at 5% and starch at 1%. Ready to feed in ten minutes once soaked. Adds succulence and moisture to a dry ration. Molasses-free, so it suits horses and ponies prone to laminitis. Works as part of a forage replacer for veterans and horses that struggle to chew. Suitable For Horses and ponies needing extra succulence and slow-release calories. Horses prone to laminitis, where molassed beet would be unsuitable. Veterans and horses with difficulty chewing hay or haylage. Adding moisture to the diet of a horse that drinks poorly. Not a complete feed. It supplies no meaningful vitamin or mineral load — pair it with Daily Vitamins & Minerals. Feeding Weigh KwikBeet dry, before soaking. Add 500ml of water to every 100g and soak for ten minutes. Feed 100g per 100kg bodyweight per day with free access to forage. Do not exceed 600g per 100kg bodyweight per day in total. Divide into at least two to three meals a day. Composition & Analysis Composition: dried unmolassed sugar beet pulp. 20kg. Crude protein 8.0%. Crude fibre 16.5%. Starch 1.0%. Sugar 5.0%. Estimated digestible energy 11 MJ/kg. Care & Caution Never feed dry. Beet pulp swells as it takes up water and can cause choke or colic if fed unsoaked. Soak fresh for each feed. In warm weather a soaked bucket will start to ferment within hours.
