Use very hot/boiling water to rehydrate, then let cool. This reduces prep time to minutes, not hours (it's like making noodles). Beat pulp can go rencid after a few hours in the right conditions. I will often add a little cold water to help it cool back down before mixing it with other feed, always check that it has cooled before feeding.
yumaira- is that 2 lb b. pulp after soaking? Have you thought about adding wheat germ or rice bran oils? Fats are calorie dense and won't make a horse "hot" like carbs. Not corn oil because it is high in Omega 6 fatty acids and low in Om 3 (good). Also, what kind of hay? That's a lot of food in his stomach at one time. Is there any way of breaking that up into 3 or 4 feedings? Horses' stomachs hold only 2-4 gal and work best at 2/3 full or less. More than that gets passed w/o full digestion.
@sleepingdead The important thing is to put weight on over a long period of time and by feeding high quality feed and hay. Build your feeding program around the best possible hay you can and chose your grain second. If your horse gets "hot" or overly energetic when his grain is increased, try adding fats to his ration instead. These can be found in wheat germ oil or stabilized rice bran. They are preferred over corn oil because corn oil is high in Omega 6 fats, not as healthy as Omega 3.
My TB gets 2 lbs of beet pulp, 2 lbs of strategy, 2 lbs if ruce brab and 3 lbs of alfalfa twice daily, plus all the hay he can eat! He is a tough keeper!
Slowly is always the best course. How slowly depends on how much and what kind of pasture you have. It would be best to talk to your veterinarian who knows you and your horse and your individual situation. Good luck!
That can be a problem. Does she have a pasture buddy? Does she run around if her turn out time is limited? Thanks! Try visiting our AllHorseTalk web site and sign up for a Free or Premium membership to see more videos!
Small, as the video says. Best to ask your vet or local equine professional for their in[put. They can see the horse and ask you pertinent questions to give sound advice. Try starting with 1 cup (before soaking) and talk to your vet.
sleepingdead- Put the weight back on slowly. In my experience, the best way to do this safely is with extra good quality hays. A horse needs about 2% of his body weight as a minimum for hays. You might slowly up it to 3% or slightly more .(2% of a 1,000 lb horse = 20 lb. hay- about half a standard bale, depending on type of hay. BJ is 1500 lb, so he needs 30-40 lb hay per day!) If a horse isn't too "piggy", he/she might do well with "free choice" hay.
I am interested in trying but I have 2 questions. First, is it okay for a yearling and what ratio of bp versus ur animals weight? And second, u suggested it can be used to strech out ur hay. Just for a gen. rule, if I usually feed a flake then will the bp replaces say 1/3 of that flake that I could save? Which would extend my bale by that 1/3 of that saved hay twice a day with the morning flake & the dinner flake? I want use as many simple, unprocessed, whole foods for my yearling- Anna Nicole. Thank you for being so informative, I really appreciate it. Aloha
I have a 32 year old stallion who eats this and looks like he's 17 but I guess it's not for all horses because my 25 year old mare won't gain any weight so we feed her a total equine mash and it looks like oatmeal but she's gaining weight and looking better
I feed my old thirty year old horse this. Started last winter after I noticed she was getting thinner and I couldn't get her back to normal again. I don't give her that much (about your small amount). Since I started it she started growing again and she's still doing fine. I will feed her beet pulp again this winter. She loves it. We having special pulp we don't have to soak as long as you do. Half an hour is enough but the result is the same.
I used to feed it (read my reply from two years ago) but after a while it didn't work anymore. I asked my vet, I have a new one specialized on horses, and he told me it pisses him off this 'stuff' was sold as horse feed. He's totally against it because there's really nothing in there. Still, I know many horses are ok with it but for my old mare it didn't do a thing anymore.

This was very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to do this video.

I just started my horse on this and it's working very well
That can be a problem. Does she have a pasture buddy? Does she run around if her turn out time is limited?
