D&H Kwikbeet 20kg

D&H KwikBeet – 20kg is a quick-soaking, high-fibre sugar beet feed for horses and ponies, providing highly digestible fibre without the lengthy soaking time associated with traditional sugar beet.

Produced using a specialist cooking process, KwikBeet flakes are ready to feed in approximately 10 minutes when prepared according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Naturally low in sugar at only 5%, molasses-free and high in fibre, KwikBeet provides slow-release energy from digestible fibre and is a versatile way to increase fibre and moisture within the horse's diet.

Quick Soak – Ready in 10 Minutes

Traditional sugar beet can require lengthy soaking before it is safe and convenient to feed.

KwikBeet undergoes a specialist cooking process that creates rapid-soaking flakes, allowing the product to be prepared in approximately 10 minutes.

This makes it particularly convenient for busy yards where owners want the nutritional benefits of soaked beet without lengthy preparation.

High in Fibre

KwikBeet provides a concentrated source of digestible fibre.

Fibre fermentation contributes energy to the horse while supporting a fibre-focused feeding programme. This makes KwikBeet useful for adding slow-release energy without relying on a conventional cereal-heavy concentrate.

Naturally Low in Sugar – 5%

KwikBeet is naturally low in sugar at 5%.

Combined with its high fibre content and molasses-free formulation, this makes it particularly relevant for owners looking for a beet-based feed with a controlled sugar level.

For horses with laminitis, insulin dysregulation, EMS, PPID or other metabolic concerns, the complete diet should be assessed with a veterinarian or qualified equine nutrition professional.

Molasses-Free

KwikBeet is molasses-free, providing another option for owners who specifically want to avoid molasses within their horse's feeding programme.

Useful for Veteran Horses

Soaked KwikBeet provides a soft, moist source of digestible fibre.

This can be particularly useful for older horses and horses with dental problems that struggle to chew sufficient quantities of hay or haylage.

Where a horse cannot adequately chew long-stem forage, KwikBeet may be incorporated as part of a forage-replacement programme.

A complete forage replacement requires careful ration planning to ensure sufficient total fibre and nutrients are supplied, particularly in horses with significant dental problems.

Adds Moisture to the Diet

Because KwikBeet is fed soaked, each meal also contributes additional water to the horse's daily intake.

This can be useful for horses where owners want to provide a moist, fibre-rich meal, although soaked feed does not replace continuous access to clean, fresh drinking water.

Ideal For

• Horses and ponies.
• Horses requiring additional dietary fibre.
• Horses requiring slow-release energy.
• Low-sugar feeding programmes.
• Molasses-free feeding programmes.
• Veteran horses.
• Horses with difficulty chewing hay or haylage.
• Horses requiring a partial forage replacer.
• Horses where a moist feed is preferred.
• Owners wanting a quick-soaking beet product.

Preparation & Feeding

KwikBeet must be properly soaked before feeding.

The rapid-soaking flakes are designed to be ready in approximately 10 minutes when prepared according to the manufacturer's directions.

Follow the current D&H instructions for:

• Dry weight per feed.
• Water-to-KwikBeet ratio.
• Soaking time.
• Maximum recommended feeding quantities.

The exact water ratio and feeding quantities were not provided in the supplied information, so these should be taken from the current D&H packaging rather than estimated.

Introduce dietary changes gradually and ensure the horse has continuous access to clean, fresh water and appropriate forage.
