Anybody feeding beet pulp? If so, what form are you using, wet, shredded dry, or pelleted? How is it working? Thinking about getting some trucked in this week.

I'm not sure what classification it falls into, though - we have it delivered from the sugar factory so it starts out damp, then becomes dry - at least on top. In our experience, it encourages our animals to eat better, and helps them to better utilize their dry feedstuffs.

how do you keep it from spoiling? Do you pack it and tarp it like silage, or are just getting it in cold weather? I would also like to feed it to our horses, a friend of mine feeds it to his horses but only has a week before it spoils, don't really want to feed fermented products to the horses? Although he has a dairy farmer nearby were he can go and buy a small amount at one time, he says that dairy guy mixs beet pulp and corn silage together and feeds it to his horses and has had no problems. I have fed the dried pulp mix with water to our horses, but I want to buy it in bulk wet really cheap.
