Soaking of Equibeet

Equibeet requires soaking for a minimum of 24 hours, after which it can be combined with other horse feeds. Any horse that has been fed unsoaked sugar beet should be seen by a veterinarian immediately.

Add 1 litre of water to every 200g of Equibeet and drain off any excess water before feeding.

Soaked sugar beet should be used up in a couple of days. In hot weather, soaked sugar beet may start to ferment changing its palatability and nutritional value. Only soak enough pellets to last one day in summer months.

Use each batch of soaked sugar beet completely before preparing the next batch. Do not keep on 'topping up' the sugar beet left to soak.
