[AskAVet] Re: Feeding beet pulp

Yes, I would. Some horses can choke on it.

> I swear by beet pulp, and use it for all my horses here (I currently have 45).  It helps put weight on, keep weight on, but is also good for any horse.  We are in the middle of a hay shortage, and I can feed it when hay is scarce or non existant.  If you look at the ingredients of a lot of commercial feeds, beet pulp is probably one of the main ingredients.  I add my pelleted feed to it in a bucket, then I add water to the mix.  I let it sit for a while before feeding.  I have never had a horse choke on it, nor colic.  The horses absolutely love it!  And there's not enough molasses in it to make a difference - it just gives it a little flavor.  You can taste it for yourself - it's safe.
