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 condition.
Feeding rates | Feed Speedi-Beet up to 0.5 kg (dry weight so weight before soaking) per 100 kg bodyweight of horse. For a 500 kg horse, feed up to 2.5 kg of Speedi-Beet (dry weight) each day. |
---|---|
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. |
