Unmolassed sugarbeet shreds

[bumblebee_]

Hi Everyone,

Was wondering if anyone has heard of these. I used to buy them years and years ago and they were by Dodson and Horell . They were white in colour and they used to work brilliant for my old DWB that used to 'hot up' on normal sugarbeet!

I was wondering if anyone could still purchase them?

Thanks in advance

I know the ones you mean though haven't seen them for years. Speedibeet claims to be low sugar, yet it is dark grey so I am never sure how low it is, it doesn't fizz my horse up like normal mollassed sugarbeet though.

I use speedibeet and have never had anything hot up on it if that helps

I think in general speedibeat doesn't fizz them up but there are exceptions! and mine is 1 of them along with my instructors lol!

I saw some the other day - a friend had it soaked, so its still avalible.

Your local agricultural merchant should stock the white shreds, they are used a lot by farmers.

I use Dengie Alpha Beet.

the only unmollassed beet i can think of is speddibeet!

I remember unmollassed sugar beet shreds we used to call them maggots.
I could do with some, Speedibeet is too expensive.

if you feed alfa as well I can recommend alfabeet which is unmolassed and a good conditioner so dont need to feed tonnes. Cant comment on fizzing up, my arabs can eat buckets full of oats and be fine - not that i try very often

I'm about to try theses, when my current sack runs out - probably not for a good few weeks.
