here its about 9 bucks a 50 pound bag...
beet pulp is whats left from crushed squeezed sugarbeets after they squeeze the sugar out. it is extreamly high in digestable fiber, about average protien and little fat. I used to feed it to my horse, but the cost set me back to the total pellet feed thats only 7 bucks a bag... he foundered and has to have a controled diet. beet pulp is a fantastic hay replacer, its digestable fiber content is higher than hay, and the horses love it because its still a little sweet. its good stuff for a horse with heaves, you can wet it with warm water and it plumps up a bit and smells really good...
I had a pony that ate little else because he needed a dust free environment, he was as heathy as.. well a horse.
due to its high fiber/energy content it isnt a "hot" feed, it is pretty much the same as feeding high quality timithy hay, with a bit more protien and fiber... so its not something you can over feed them, they have to CHEW it a lot so they tend to eat it slower than hay also.
I dont know what other animals its good for but ive heard everything from goats to dogs....
if you can get it cheap, its good food. if your short on hay, its an excellent replacer.
I used it in my garden one year it holds water better than peat moss. and the sugar gives a boost to the veggies.
