A nutritious, palatable, and versatile feed made from 100% British-sourced sugar beet.

Key Benefits

• Dual energy release — sugar fraction provides quick energy; fibre fraction digests slowly for sustained stamina
• Molasses included — ensures an even energy supply and improves palatability for shy or fussy feeders
• Promotes satiety — the fibre content helps horses feel fuller for longer
• Highly palatable — the natural sweetness encourages even reluctant feeders to eat
• Versatile — suitable for horses, ponies, and other livestock as a complementary feed

How to Feed

Always soak before feeding — sugar beet pellets must be soaked in water for a minimum of 12 hours (cold water) or several hours in warm water before feeding. They expand significantly when soaked, so use a large enough container. Never feed dry. Introduce gradually over 7–10 days and ensure fresh water is always available.

FAQ

How long do sugar beet pellets need to soak?

Sugar beet pellets should be soaked for a minimum of 12 hours in cold water, or at least a few hours in warm water. They expand considerably, so always use a large bucket with plenty of water. Never feed unsoaked pellets as they can cause choke or digestive issues.

Are sugar beet pellets suitable for laminitic horses?

Sugar beet contains natural sugars and molasses, so it may not be appropriate for horses with laminitis, EMS, or insulin dysregulation. We recommend consulting your vet or equine nutritionist before feeding to at-risk horses.

What is the difference between sugar beet pellets and Speedi-Beet?

Traditional sugar beet pellets require long soaking times (12+ hours). Speedi-Beet uses a patented process to produce flakes that soak in as little as 10 minutes. Speedi-Beet is also starch-free and lower in sugar, making it more suitable for horses requiring controlled sugar intake.

Can I feed sugar beet pellets to other animals?

Yes — sugar beet pellets are suitable for horses, ponies, cattle, sheep, and other livestock as a complementary feed ingredient. Always soak before feeding regardless of species.

How much should I feed per day?

Feeding rates vary by animal size and diet. As a guide for horses, start with a small soaked amount (e.g. 100–200g dry weight) and adjust based on body condition and energy requirements. Always introduce new feeds gradually.
