Blue Seal Beet Pulp Pellets Take Long Time to Soak
migelle61 <migelle61@...>
Hi, I am new to the group. I just found some BS beet pulp pellets. It
says it doesn't contain molasses.
Has anyone tried this? I am not sure how to serve it. So far all I do
is soak it for a few hours before feeding. I use it equal parts of OD
Timothy cubes. I didn't get the TB cubes cause I already use Dynamite
vitamins and minerals.
Anything anyone can pass on would be appreciated. My horse isn't IR
but I still watch what I feed him.

I don't have the BS, but I feed beet pulp pellets to Miss Dazzle.
I soak it up. Mine takes about 4-5 hours to soak. Then I rinse,
strain, rinse, strain, rinse, strain. There's a lot of little pieces,
dirt etc, that I rinse out.
Placed in a bowl with a little garnish and served with love.

I tried some BS BP pellets and they were packed with molasses. The US Govt does not require pet food/animal feeds to list every ingredient. I would advise you to do a simple test. Put a few pellets in a clear glass of warm water and let it sit for 24 hours. The water will probably turn purple. Thats molasses. I just bought 3 bags of Midwest Agri plain shreds and they are a beautiful, light beige. This year's crop is coming into feeds stores now. My choice is the shreds. IF you use the pellets you'll need to soak for hours and then rinse until the water runs clear.
Be sure to weigh the shreds dry, then r/s/r and serve.

Very interesting Mandy. I am sure you are right, so I will rince soak
rinse. I can't get anything else here.
However, after reading this article on Natural News, I am not sure I
want to feed beet pulp anymore. I highly suggest that anyone who
feeds beet pulp read this. The article concerning beet pulp is
midpage and talks about sugar. Will they stop trying to create more
illness for goodness sake??
www.naturalnews.com/index.html
This makes me so angry.
For lighter side now, how many people have tried the carb guard feed
by BS? Anything I should know about this product?

Just as a note - not ALL Midwest Agri is coming in now - the local Beet harvest in ND just started a couple days ago. I imagine they have to haul many days before they get things underway and the sugar is extracted. Curious how long it takes for a beet to travel from truck to beet pulp bags????
ALSO - be sure to check the codes on the side of the bag - a friend of mine just bought some MW shreds from Fleet Farm in Fargo, ND and the bag was stamped with a code from 2007. (K7 333 37) (that means Late November 2007).

Hey Melanie,
The paper bags look brand new, not a wrinkle in them! and the pulp is fluffy light beige filling most of the bag. The only code I could find is 826C on the back so I will you can translate that for me , please. This particular store has been without plain shreds for awhile - a Southern States store.

Hi Dee
Many folks use Blue Seal Carb Guard and other low carb feeds
successfully as a carrier for their supplements. At 8% it is a little
higher in fat than we'd like to see. A horses natural diet would be
more like 5%. It does contain beet pulp. Also soy hulls and corn
products which also are genetically modified. It's difficult to find
stuff that isn't these days. I would ask for absolute certification of
their product, a full guaranteed analysis and list of ingredients from
anyone you may come across who tells you otherwise.
Dr Kellon may have more up-to-the minute info, but so far, a small
amount of rinsed/soaked/rinsed/ beet pulp as a carrier for minerals
balanced to your tested hay is most successful. It is the best way to
fortify your horses - IR and Cushings or otherwise - against the
unhealthy stuff of daily living that gets thrown at them.

hi all ~ the midwest ag shreds have not been in stock down here in
south florida recently. instead, the bs pellets are here too.
i thought that dark brown / rust colored water meant molasses? i have
been r / s / r till almost clear on both products. i do not have to
unless it is purplish??? god, that would be a great relief!
also, i have been preparing it according to dry, pre-soak WEIGHT.
because the post-soak expansion is just water weight, right?
just double-checking.
sloshing around down here in rainy season,

Oh no! Keep rinsing the heck out of the BS BP pellets! I kept getting purple water even after 4 complete rinses/soaks. Sometimes I get a flake of molasses powder in the shreds and when its wet it turns black. Keep up the rinsing until the water is clear! No such thing as easy!!!

Oh BOY, I just had a blinding flash of the not so obvious.
I fed BS BP last winter as an extra because of our cold harsh
winters and my horse in outdoors 24/7. I did what I thought was ok,
just soaking the beet pulp.
In the spring, his hooves where in BAD shape. The sole plane was
almost flat. No concavity at all. Took him to my mentor, Sue Mellen,
a Pete Ramey student. We looked at what I was feeding, and other
horse management (by then he had been off the BP for about 2 weeks
so I never mentioned them). We could not find the answer.
So with proper trimming and building a track in his paddock, by
summer he hooves were coming along really well.
Now after 5 weeks of BS BP just soaked, his hooves are starting to
flatten again. Nothing else has changed in his diet. Hmmmm How
interesting.
Alrighty, I am going to have to give up the BS BP. I board my horse
and there is no way I can have a) the hay tested cause she has three
different sources and also changes sometimes in the winter if we run
out and b) she is not going to do the rinse soak rinse for me.
Please suggest something easier and half adequate!
Where I am, I can't get ODTB. It is 4 hours there and back to the
closest place.
Here is what I have: Dynamite vitamin program which I am going to
stop using as soon as I run out, because of the extremely high iron
content.
I will be switching to Equipride. But can I feed Equipride with lets
say Carb Guard? My horse does need a bit of supplementation cause we
work lots.
Blue Seal is about the only feed I can get up where I am.
Help!
So please comment on what I should give instead to help keep weight
on. Plus he is outdoor 24/7 up here in very cold Quebec winters so
he needs calories.

Migelle?
Is that your name? Where do you live? There are some feeds you may be able to go 50/50 with.
Mandy
migelle61 <migelle61@...>
My name is Dee :) I live North East of Montreal Quebec.
There isn't much out here.
50-50 with what?
I had bought some straight Timothy cubes from Ontario Dehy before
knowin about the Timothy Balance product. I have 6 50lbs bags and
thats it. Won't be able to get anymore this winter.
I won't be using the BS BP cause I can't do the soak/rinse /soak.
What else could we use?

Dee,
Where did you buy the OD straight Timothy cubes? Couldn't you cut your hay with that? They are lower in esc/s (but not balanced) than the OD Alfalfa/Timothy cubes so you may be able to use that for part of the diet. Can you get more? If you can, have them throw on a pallet of the ODTB cubes! Can you get Speedi-beet?
Another suggestion is to seach for hay that is low sugar and store it yourself. You may have to rent a storage locker or a corner of someones barn/shed.
Can you get Blue Seal Carb Guard? or Poulin Carb Safe? These could be used 50/50 with your hay or 33/33/33 with hay and OD straight Timothy cubes.
I"m not familiar with the feeds in Canada. Maybe Lorna or Angela can advise you on whats available.
