Soaked feed can aid rehydration Sugar beet is a natural feed which is a nutritional cross between a concentrate and a forage. It provides a highly digestible source of fibre in a slow release form which is more suited to the horse and pony's natural way of feeding, and helps to maintain a healthy gut. A highly palatable feed, sugar beet can encourage fussy feeders to eat, as well as acting as a succulent and helping with rehydration, if it is fed very wet.
- The sugar fraction is rapidly digested in the small intestine providing instant energy
- The fibre fraction is digested at a slower rate, which promotes satiety and stamina
- Molassed sugar beet feed promotes an even supply of energy
- The palatable nature of the feed encourages shy feeders to eat
- Promotes the intake of other less palatable ingredients e.g. wormers 100% wholesome and natural
- High calcium level is ideal for the young, growing and lactating horse
- Helps prevent laminitis
