Beet pulp shreds are fibrous flakes from sugar beets after the sugar extraction process. It is dried to reduce the water content to approximately 9%. Sugar beet pulp fiber is low-cost, highly digestible, and an extremely palatable feed in a form that is considered less dusty than hay. When soaked, beet pulp shreds and beet pulp pellets are very similar in consistency and texture. Unbeetable Feeds offers plain shreds in bulk and in 30-pound bags. The 30-pound bags are more convenient to handle, making it a favorite at feed stores. The bags, shipped on pallets, allows a manageable package of feed for smaller ranches or farms that raise horses, cattle or other farm animals. Sugar beet pulp allows animals to be on full feed and reduces the danger of bloating and digestive disturbance. For show animals, sugar beet pulp has a cooling effect and enhances the bloom of the coat for best appearance, and when soaked in water, it provides succulence in the ration and adds water to the diet. Sugar beet pulp provides a variety in feed rations, firms stool for cleaner pen operation, and allows for increased feed intake. Please consult your nutritionist for uses specific to your animals.
