Speedi-Beet 20kg

Speedi-Beet – 20kg is a highly digestible, quick-soaking unmolassed beet pulp horse feed designed to provide fibre-based, slow-release energy without relying on starch.

Made from high-quality British beet pulp, Speedi-Beet undergoes a patented cooking process that allows it to soak and become ready to feed in approximately 10 minutes.

With no added molasses, a low sugar content and no starch, Speedi-Beet is a versatile fibre feed suitable for a wide range of horses and ponies, from good doers requiring a small fibre-based carrier to working horses and poor doers requiring additional digestible fibre and energy.

Ready in Approximately 10 Minutes

One of the key advantages of Speedi-Beet is its exceptionally quick preparation.

Unlike conventional beet pulp products that can require lengthy soaking, Speedi-Beet's patented processing means it can be fully soaked and ready to feed in approximately 10 minutes when prepared according to the manufacturer's directions.

This makes it particularly convenient for busy yards and owners wanting the benefits of soaked beet pulp without lengthy preparation times.

High in Digestible Fibre

Speedi-Beet contains a high proportion of soluble fibre, including pectins.

Beet pulp is commonly used as a highly digestible fibre source and can provide useful dietary energy through fibre fermentation.

This allows Speedi-Beet to contribute slow-release energy without relying on high levels of starch.

No Added Molasses, Low Sugar & Starch Free

Speedi-Beet is made without added molasses and is specifically formulated to be low in sugar and starch free.

The manufacturer describes the product as 95% sugar free.

These characteristics make it particularly useful when owners are looking for a fibre feed with controlled sugar and starch levels.

For horses with laminitis, insulin dysregulation, EMS, PPID or other conditions requiring carefully controlled diets, feeding decisions should be made with your veterinarian or qualified equine nutrition professional using the horse's complete ration, rather than relying on one feed characteristic alone.

Versatile Feeding

Speedi-Beet can fulfil several roles within a horse's feeding programme.

Good Doers

Small quantities can provide a palatable fibre-based carrier for supplements without requiring a large concentrate meal.

Horses Needing Condition

Larger appropriate quantities can provide additional digestible fibre and calories as part of a carefully balanced weight-gain programme.

Working Horses

Its digestible fibre can contribute slow-release energy to the ration of horses in work.

Older Horses

Soaked fibre feeds can also be useful within feeding programmes where a softer, well-soaked fibre source is desirable, subject to the individual horse's nutritional and dental needs.

Preparation & Feeding

Speedi-Beet must be soaked before feeding.

Prepare it according to the current manufacturer's instructions, using the specified ratio of Speedi-Beet to water.

Allow approximately 10 minutes for soaking, or follow the exact preparation time and water quantities stated on the current bag.

Always ensure the product is fully prepared before feeding.

Introduce dietary changes gradually and ensure horses have continuous access to clean, fresh drinking water and appropriate forage.

The exact manufacturer feeding quantities and water-to-product soaking ratio were not supplied in the source information, so these should be copied from the current Speedi-Beet packaging rather than estimated.
