beet pulp soup LOL
I usually feed beet pulp to one of the old horses I foster just to help him keep weight on. I feed it soaked then mixed with his pellets because his teeth aren't so good and he drops and wastes more feed if it is dry. Well anyway when I had a doe with her newborns in the horse barn for a few days when the temps dropped and I was mixing up the beet pulp with hot water since it was so cold and the doe came over and started slurping it up. So I have experimented with beet pulp soup "recipes" and ALL my goats love it. (**warning** goats will get wet beards and ears and faces from eating soup.) I give it to new moms every day for a week or so, in addition to regular feeding. I also feed it to my goats for a treat, when it's very coldor very hot, if someones appetite is down or if I think they need more water intake.
I believe that beet pulp can be confusing because if you feed beet pulp in addition to regular amount of grain it can help thin animals gain, but if you substitute it for grain it can satisfy but provide less calories so it can help you trim down an animal.
This is a recipe and and variations, you can adjust the quantities
2 cups beet pulp
1 gallon water (warm in winter and cold in summer)
