Speedi-Beet is sugar beet pulp with no added molasses, which has been subjected to our patented cooking process to produce a superb complementary feed for horses, which is quick soaking.
There's a high proportion of soluble fibre, mostly pectins in Speedi-Beet, which means its fibre is more easily digested than that found in forage like hay. This makes it a great source of slow release energy, perfect for competition horses.
It's starch free and low in sugar, so an ideal feed for horses prone to Laminitis and we're proud to have achieved Laminitis Trust approval.
If you replace some or all of the starchy concentrate in your horse's diet with Speedi-Beet you'll provide higher fibre, lower starch and a more wholesome meal for your best friend.
Speedi-Beet is versatile. Feed it in small amounts to overweight horses as a carrier for a multivitamin and mineral supplement or in larger quantities to a poor doer for weight gain, or to a working horse for energy.
What's in Speedi-Beet
Speedi-Beet a unique HorseBeet has a moderate energy content, similair to that of oats, but because this energy is coming from digestible fibre rather than starch or sugar, it is non-heating. It does have a better mineral balance than straight cereals, with higher levels of calcium, but we recommend feeding Speedi-Beet with a balancer, like Baileys Lo-Cal, to ensure a fully balanced diet when feeding it alone with forage.
