always feed wet other wise the horse/pony will get colic which could lead to death Beet pulp is most commonly fed wet. I would think that this is the best way to feed it because, if fed dry, the beet pulp would expand in the horse's stomach. This could potentially cause colic; colic that could be severe enough to cause death if you don't feed properly. Ask your local veterinarian the proper way to mix beet pulp for your horse. Beet pulp is a good supplement for your horse, especially in the winter months when it is often hard to keep weight on them. And they love it! Not Exactly! However if you read the bag on beet pulp you will find out that you should always feed it wet. Dry beet pulp not only expands in their stomach, but also, if fed dry scratches their throats. Over time it starts to wear away the inner layers of their throats which can be potentially deadly if severe enough. Dispelling Myths Beet pulp can be fed either wet or dry. Feeding dry beet pulp doesn't damage the throat, increase the risk of choke or increase the risk of colic. There have been studies performed where up to 45% of the diet was dry beet pulp and no increase in incidence of choke or other adverse reactions.
Beet pulp can be fed wet or dry. However it is usually best to feed it soaked as it allows the beet pulp to expand and helps to get water into the horse. Typically you would measure out how much you would like to feed, then soak it for a specific amount of time, drain it and feed it. There is an old myth that beet pulp will expand in the horses stomach and make it explode, but this simply is not true. However dry beet pulp can cause choke (not the same kind of choking in people though) and you'll need a vet out to clear the horses throat, so it is best to soak it.
Soak dry beet pulp %50 in %50 water for 10 - 15min.
Beet pulp is the most underrated of all horse feed. It is a great way to put some weight on a horse without having to worry about too much protein. You can feed it dry or soak it in water for a few minutes before feeding. And even picky horses seem to like it. And I have never heard of even 1 horse that impacted from beet pulp. Another good point is it's not very expensive.
''Name the process that causes the pulp to dry completely?''
Horses should not be allowed to eat goldenrod plants. The toxin is present in both the dry and green plant.
You need to go into a large Pet store or a Feed store and check out the prices. But first of all I do not recommend Pedigree puppy food. Check out the ingredients in it on the label. Your dry puppy food should never have corn, wheat, soy products, beet pulp or meat by products in it. It should only contain the meat such as chicken or chicken meal, never meat by products. I personally like Innova Puppy dry food or Natural Choice puppy food. Read the labels first and check out mainly the first 3 ingredients. Never get anything that reads meat by products, wheat, corn, soy or beet pulp, not good for your dog. You can also ask your Veterinarian what puppy food he or she recommends feeding your dog. Don't forget about vaccinations, dewormings, Once a month flea protection and Once a month Heartworm medications to protect your pup from Heartworm.
Diarrhea in adult horses is pretty rare, and the first cause that should be investigated is Salmonella infection. This is potentially zoonotic and can be highly contagious to other horses, so I would recommend quarantining your horse and talking with your vet quickly.However, if your horse's bowel movements are just a little softer than expected (but still formed and smelling like normal horse pellets), you can try increasing the amount of forage you feed. Also, adding some dietary fiber like pumpkin, beet or bran can also help. Talk with your veterinarian about what kind and how much. If you choose beet, make sure you don't feed beet powder without first rehydrating it - feeding the dry powder can cause your horse's stomach to explode.
They are made of molded paper pulp. Using a machine called a hydrapulper, waste paper is turned into pulp and then stamped in molds while the pulp is still wet. Once dry the pulp becomes as stiff as cardboard.
To make pulp dry faster, you can increase air circulation around the pulp by using fans or placing it in a well-ventilated area. Additionally, applying heat gently, such as using a dehydrator or setting it in the sun, can accelerate the drying process. Spreading the pulp out in thinner layers also aids in quicker evaporation of moisture. Finally, reducing the initial moisture content by pressing or squeezing the pulp before drying can help speed up the process.
I would highly recommend dry food as it has more calories than canned food. Canned food has a lot of water in it, read the label. You could also mix a little canned food in with the dry food too. I prefer the dry food only. Be sure to feed a good name brand dog food, not some cheap generic dog food. Read the label, should NOT have meat "by products", soy, wheat, corn, beet pulp, etc. in it. You want to see things like Chicken meal (or whatever type of meat it is) & not Chicken by products. "By products" contain the worst parts of the meat, such as hooves, horns, beaks, talons, etc.
Horses evolved to eat grass, hay is essentially just grass that has been grown to a specific point of maturity, cut, allowed to dry a bit and baled for consumption by animals. Therefore horses will enjoy eating hay, which is just 'dry grass'. Hay should always be provided at all times as horses need constant long stemmed fiber moving through their digestive systems.
if you don't they will get ill
