Beet Pulp

I picked up a bag of Beet Pulp from UFA. Did some reading on it and will switch Eli over from his Proform Step 6 - Senior feed to Beet Pulp as it is apparently highly used by OTTB owners for its low sugar content, low protein, low starch, but still high in Fibre.

I'm hoping this will still provide the calories needed but maybe change him to a more calmer horse eliminating the sugar content.

I did however read that it is better served soaked as it expands. One cup of pellet soaked generates 5 cups of feed after adding 3 1/2 cups of hot water and letting it sit for approximately 30 minutes!

Last scoop is one cup of dried pellets soaked in three cups of hot water for 30 - 45 mins. Produced about 5 cups, you can see one scoop ( 1 cup ) in the purple bucket.
