Speedibeet vs Fast Fibre

[criso]

I buy Equibeet which is long soaked unmolassed sugarbeet because it's much cheaper, i pay £10.45 a bag

 

[Limit]

FF does have sugar - its 5 % starch
SB is also 5 % sugar (http://www.britishhorsefeeds.com/speedi-beet/typical-analysis)

SB is just made from sugar beet
FF has a host of ingredients in it:
(min 40 percent) cereal straw (treated), (10-25 percent) unmolassed beet, (less than 10 percent) oat fibre, expelled linseed, grass meal, Di-calcium phosphate, calcium carbonate, expelled soya oil, sodium chloride, natural vitamins, vitamins and minerals, mint, herbs garlic.

FF has 8 MJ/kg digestible energy, SB has 12.4 so you'd need to feed 50 % more dry weight of FF to continue to feed the same amount of calories.

I'd stick with the speedibeet

I have fed speedi Beet for years, and never had a horse not clean the bowl out. Of course, like people, they are all different. I personally wouldn't change unless it no longer suited the horse needs, not because it was the latest thing .All the best.
