NRM Speedi Beet

Speedi-Beet is a quick soak, 10 minutes, starch-free, beet pulp flake. Easy to prepare, an ideal fiber source for feeding horses and ponies prone to laminitis.

Choose the amount of Speedi-Beet you wish to feed your horse. Small amounts can be fed to horses prone to weight gain or as a carrier for a mineral or vitamin supplement or medication. Larger amounts can be fed as energy to performance or working horses, or to add a condition.

Feeding rates

Typical nutritional analysis

Oil 1%, protein 8%, fibre 16%, ash 9%, DE MJ/kg 11, sugar 5% and nil starch.

How to prepare

Add one part dry Speedi-Beet to five parts water by weight. So, half a kilogram of dry Speedi-Beet would require 2.5 litres of water. Add more water to make a sloppier mash if you want to help your horse rehydrate. You can prepare in advance if you wish, but store in cool conditions and feed within 24 hours of soaking.

Storage

Please ensure the product is stored in a cool, dry, and vermin-free environment.

Caution: Do not feed any animal species other than those stipulated on the label.
