Speedi-Beet from British Horse Feeds is a unique beet pulp feed which can be soaked in warm water and ready to feed in just ten minutes. Feeding Speedi-Beet warm helps to raise the horse’s core body temperature.
The low starch and sugar content means Speedi-Beet is also ideal for horses and ponies susceptible to laminitis. Speedi-Beet provides calories by providing highly fermentable soluble fibre, namely pectins. This soluble fibre is fermented by the micro-organisms living in the horse’s hindgut where it is turned into non-heating slow release energy and condition.
It can also increase the nutrient value of the hay (or other forage) being fed. Speedi-Beet increases the general fermentation activity of the intestinal microbial population, with an overall increase in the efficiency of fibre digestion, again increasing the energy supply.
Speedi-Beet is extremely versatile; it can be fed in larger quantities to a poor doer for weight gain. Speedi-Beet can also be fed in small amounts to overweight horses as a carrier for a multivitamin and mineral supplement.
RRP is around £11.35-£12.30.
