Myth Busting – Soaked Beet Pulp

𝑯𝒐𝒓𝒔𝒆 𝑴𝒚𝒕𝒉:

If fed dry, beet pulp will swell up and injure (or kill) your horse.

𝑭𝒂𝒄𝒕:

Beet pulp is completely safe to feed to horses. It will not cause a horse to choke if allowed to soak and soften. When the horse’s stomach gets full, hormones are secreted that stimulate the gut to eliminate the contents of the stomach into the small intestine where it is passed on to the cecum (a pouch connected to the junction of the small and large intestines.) and, eventually, the colon.
