The distinction is worth knowing: molassed beet pulp is one of the commonest ways sugar gets into a feed marketed as fibre, and PuraBeet simply does not do it. Sugar is declared under 8% and starch under 5%.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoaked, it becomes one of the more useful things in a feed room. It carries a small hard feed, adds highly digestible fibre without starch, and gives a horse that can no longer manage long fibre something it can actually eat. Crude protein is modest at 7–10%, so it bulks and it fuels, but it does not build — that job belongs to a balancer alongside it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnmolassed beet pulp with no sugar added back; sugar under 8%, starch under 5%.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly digestible fibre at 16–22%, feeding the hindgut microbes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigestible energy 9–11 MJ\/kg from fibre rather than cereal starch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVery low oil at 0.5–2%, so it adds bulk without adding fat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFed soaked, so it suits a horse that struggles to chew.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree from cereals, molasses, pulses, soya, preservatives and additives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll horses and ponies, as a fibre base in a bucket feed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEndurance horses and others needing slow-release energy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses prone to metabolic issues.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElderly or dentally challenged horses who can no longer chew hay.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot a balanced feed on its own — protein is only 7–10%, so pair it with a Simple System balancer such as Simple Balance+ or MetaSlim.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eFeeding\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduce gradually over a week, as with any new feed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoak for approximately 12 hours in cold water, 1 part PuraBeet to 5 parts water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStart at 50g per 100kg bodyweight daily, dry weight before soaking — 250g a day for a 500kg horse.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncrease as required, up to a maximum of 2.5kg a day dry weight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA level Stubbs bowl scoop holds approximately 1.6kg dry weight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimple System describe PuraBeet as a partial hay replacer but publish no mixing ratio, so none is given here.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eComposition \u0026amp; Analysis\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComposition: unmolassed beet pulp, as a straight feed material for equines. 20kg bag.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrude protein 7–10%.
