Speedi beet

[Annie&Amy]

Once soaked does it keep the same as sugar beet? xx

 

[Hettie]

If you mean the one I think you do - it's recomended by the lami trust, so presumably's got less sugar in it..?

 

[the watcher]

Yes

 

[Hettie]

uh bad day, read it wrong! Yes I use it like sugar beet and keep it soaked for a couple of days

Find ours keeps well, but we ar lucky as our feed room is an old stone dairy so always cool

I don't like the smell of it, even just left overnight, so I mix each time I use it.

It's so quick to make I can't really see the point of making it up beforehand. Pesonally I wouldn't like to keep it, but that is simply my preference. I'd ask the manufacturer though

I make mine up every night so it's instantly ready for 2 horses who shriek that they're dying of starvation as soon as they see me. Seriously, it keeps fine in the winter for a couple of days. Even in the summer, you can get away with an overnight keep, but I wouldn't leave it longer that that as it starts to smell vinegary and I think that means its starting to ferment. Doubt if it would do much harm as the horses wouldn't eat it if it was seriously gross but I worry about gas build up and mild colic and drunk horses!

I wouldnt worry about gas build up hun, your horses are known around the yard as the 'windy' ones! Nor should you worry about drunk horses - its that bloody rotweiller of YO you want to worry about

My God she is on about drink again.LOL

 

[Heidi1]

Yes, but I try to use it within a couple of days and always keep it covered.......

 

[Vicki_Krystal]

i soak a big bucket and feed 6 with it at night, then leave the rest to feed the 4 that have brekkie in the morn and its always fine.

 

[Lotty]

I mix it every night. I spoil my neds as I take up some hot water and the speedi-beet is ready in minutes.

 

[merlinsquest]

Mix mine up every three days and use as needed..... I dont have time in the mornings to stop and wait for it to soak (I know it isnt long).......... but the warm idea sounds nice for these cold, frosty mornings
