Beet pulp is a byprouct left over from the processing of sugar beets, it is sometimes fed to horses and other animals because it is high in energy and fiber. When fed, it should be soaked in water for 3 to 4 hours prior to feeding in order to make it more palatable and to prevent choke. It should be soaked until the fibers have completely swelled. The usual proportion is one measure of beet pulp to two measures of water. A ration of beet pulp is usually 2 to 5 pounds dry weight, before soaking.
