Feeding Guide

10 Minute Beet® is very versatile feed that can be fed:

1.

In small amounts as a bucket feed dampener, succulent or to enhance palatability

2.

In moderate amounts as an excellent fibre supply for senstive horses and ponies

3.

In large amounts as a safe supply of dietry energy for work or for condition, as a direct replacement for starchy cereal based feeds, or as a partial forage replacer for veterans with poor teeth or where foage quality is poor or forage is limited

4.

10 Minute Beet® can be fed up to a maximum of 0.5kg per 100kg bodyweight e.g 2.5kg for a 500kg horse. Adjust the amount to suit the individual horse or pony

How to Prepare

Mix 1 part 10 Minute Beet® with 5 parts cold water by weight e.g. 200g of 10 Minute Beet® would require 1 litre of water. Allow the flakes to soak for 10 minutes. Soaked Flakes can be fed immediately or stored (in a cool place) for convenience for the next feed, for up to 24 hours. Only make up enough 10 Minute Beet® for the next feed.

Using hot water will reduce soaking time to 5 minutes. WARNING: DO NOT FEED DRY

Ready in just 10 minutes.

Adjust the amount to suit the individual horse or pony
