What Customers Say

I have a mare that is insulin resistant and has to have a Very low NSC. I loved the fact that Forage Only was OFF THE Charts LOW in Sugar (lowest I could ever find!). I also loved that it had Alfalfa and Flax Oil… so, I went to Tractor Supply and picked up a bag! To say my mare loved it was an understatement, I am on my way to pick up 4 more bags right now. This is a keeper for me.

Beet Pulp Pellets: Beet pulp is the fibrous portion of the sugar beet, left after the sugar and liquid has been removed. It is mechanically pressed, dried, and then pelletized into a 5/16” (8mm) diameter pellet. The fiber in beet pulp is highly digestible making it a good non-starch energy source for cattle and horses. Unbeetable Feeds offers beet pulp pellets in bulk or in 50-pound bags. Soaking is recommended.

Beet Pulp Shreds:Beet pulp shreds are fibrous flakes from sugar beets after the sugar extraction process. It is dried to reduce the water content to approximately 9%. Sugar beet pulp fiber is low-cost, highly digestible, and an extremely palatable feed in a form that is considered less dusty than hay. Unbeetable Feeds plain shreds are sold in 30-pound bags. Soaking is highly recommended.
Beet Pulp Shreds w/Molasses: Beet pulp shreds are fibrous flakes from sugar beets after the sugar extraction process. It is dried to reduce the water content to approximately 9%.

Molasses can be added to make the shreds sweeter and more desirable to finicky, active, or older horses, and to help keep their weight at an optimum level. Unbeetable Feeds offers molassed shreds in 30-pound bags. Soaking is highly recommended.

The Solution Section

Who makes Unbeetable Feeds?

Unbeetable Feeds is a brand of Midwest Agri-Commodities Company (Midwest Agri), headquartered in San Rafael, California. Midwest Agri was formed in 1979 and markets, distributes, and finances over 1.5 million tons of solid and liquid sugar beet products a year. Customers include feed-store retailers across the United States plus the world's leading commercial animal-nutrition companies. The Unbeetable line covers beet pulp pellets, beet pulp shreds, beet molasses, and the Forage Only blend.

Why is beet pulp called a "unicorn feed"?

Per Unbeetable Feeds, beet pulp is a high-fiber, high-energy feed that works for any horse — not just the seniors and hard keepers most owners associate it with. The energy is clean and slow-burning rather than "hot" — so it can replace corn or grain-based feeds without spiking the horse. Soaked beet pulp also delivers extra hydration while acting as an ulcer preventative, and can cut your hay bill. Useful for everything from colts to seniors to performance horses.

What's in the Forage Only Blend?

The Forage Only Blend is becoming an industry favorite. The recipe is short: 2/3 alfalfa, 1/3 beet pulp, plus 2% flaxseed oil. No grain. Per Unbeetable: forage only with high energy and low sugar (no more than 6% NSC), easily-digestible fermentable fiber, Omega-3 from the flaxseed oil for cool-burning fuel and gastric/skin/coat support. The pellet is unusually small — 11/64" in diameter — which makes it easier to chew than standard equine pellets. Soaking is not required for most horses, which reduces choke risk while keeping prep simple.

Why is beet pulp considered a prebiotic?

Per Unbeetable, beet pulp is a prebiotic — the fiber that the friendly probiotic bacteria in the hindgut feed on. Without prebiotic fiber, those bacterial populations can't stay healthy. Because beet pulp is a slower-burning energy source than commercial grains, hindgut microbes can convert the fiber to volatile fatty acids (VFAs) efficiently — and the horse absorbs and uses those VFAs as energy. The result: clean energy without the gut disruption that comes from sudden grain-driven fermentation.

What about the beet pulp pellets and shreds?

Both are pure beet pulp products — the fibrous material that's left after sugar extraction. Beet Pulp Pellets are mechanically pressed and dried, then pelletized to 5/16" (8 mm) diameter. Sold in bulk or 50-pound bags. Soaking recommended. Beet Pulp Shreds are dried fibrous flakes (~9% water content) — low-cost, highly digestible, less dusty than hay, and palatable. Sold in 30-pound bags. Soaking highly recommended. Beet Pulp Shreds with Molasses is the same shred with molasses added for finicky, active, or older horses, also in 30-pound bags. Forage Only does not require soaking; pellets and shreds do (per Unbeetable's choke-risk recommendation).

Do I need to add a ration balancer or vitamin supplement?

Yes — Forage Only is unfortified, so it's short some essential vitamins and minerals on its own. Unbeetable recommends adding your favorite ration balancer or multi-vitamin to make Forage Only a complete feed. With the balancer in place, Unbeetable's own Forage Only often reduces a horse's other hay/forage needs.

Where can I buy Unbeetable Feeds?

What do Ann Pruitt and other owners say?

Ann Pruitt, Director of InfoHorse.com: "I have a mare that is insulin resistant and has to have a VERY low NSC. I loved the fact that Forage Only was OFF THE CHARTS LOW in SUGAR (lowest I could ever find!). I also loved that it had Alfalfa and Flax Oil... My mare loved it. I am on my way to pick up 4 more bags right now. This is a keeper for me." One owner cut their feed program from four bags down to two by switching to Forage Only — replacing alfalfa pellets, beet pulp, and Renew Gold with the single product. Another owner with a barrel-horse daughter saw chronic-ulcer weight loss reverse on beet pulp — "We no longer travel with Ulcergard." A third owner brought a tooth-and-sinus-infection rescue back from severe weight loss with soaked beet pulp in 9 days, then bought a full pallet for the rest of the herd.
