Feeding Guide:

If 2% of a typical horse's weight should be fed each day, a 1100 pound horse needs 22 pounds of feed per day. At least 25% of this -- 5.5 pounds -- can be beet pulp. Pellets can be fed all at once or split up between a morning or evening feeding. They can be fed alone or mixed with other feeds. While some nutritionists recommend soaking beet pulp pellets at least 30 minutes prior to feeding, many believe soaking is not necessary. Dried beet pulp will remain feedable for at least one year so long as they are kept dry.

Transition Guide:

As with any change in feed ration, it is best to change a horse's feed gradually. As such, we suggest substituting no more than 25% for the first two weeks in order to allow the horse's gut to adjust. After that, most horses can consume up to 50% of their overall diet as beet pulp.
