Crazy Chicken Chick Posts: 36132	If beet pulp was bad, I should have dead or super sick horses. I've fed it for years. Every horse, even weanlings gets 4-5 cups soaked beet pulp with EACH feeding (twice a day) and it has been GREAT to keep mine from getting sand colic. It's the one feed ingredient I won't go without.

Member Posts: 36	If you have already treated for ulcers my suggestion is to stop the beet pulp it is not helping any thing on the ulcer front. Start feeding the Forco. Forco is a digestive fortifier which helps the horse break down its food better and get all the nutrience out of it. It also balances the acid levels in the stomach and hind gut to help reduce the risk of colic, impaction and Ulcers. Don't over kill on supplements. Forco is a great product and I use it on all my horses and have no issues with colic, impaction or ulcers. I am a dealer for Forco and sell a lot of it to several trainers and they love it. One trainer just ran the 6th fastest time in the futurity at the BFA last week out of over 400 head with a horse on Forco. Anyone Interesed in prices on Forco feel free to contact me.

Why stop the beet pulp? I feed Forco already but it isn't going to add moisture to the gut when my tanks have been frozen from 8pm to 6pm. I give them a super mushy mush mix of beet & alfalfa pellets soaked and top it with their grain, THE and FORCO. I have yet to have a cold weather colic since doing this every morning. I think beet pulp is one of the best things out there and have done wonders on many horses with it.

I'm Cooler Offline Posts: 6387 Location: Pacific Northwest	My ulcer-prone horse has actually been BETTER since I switched her to a beet pulp/alfalfa pellet mix...she was on "processed" feeds most of her life (Strategy Healthy Edge, then later Ultium) and I had to keep treating her over and over and she never wanted to finish her grain even though she wasn't getting fed very much. I finally took her off all of that and now she gets beet pulp, alfalfa pellets, Horse Guard multivitamin, and SmartGut Ultra. I treated her for ulcers one last time in July with UlcerCure OTC and haven't had an issue since...she cleans up all her feed and has maintained weight even when being ran.
