Smart Beet Shreds – Premium Livestock Feed
High-Calorie, Low-Sugar Fiber Source for Horses & Livestock
Smart Beet Shreds are premium dried sugar beet pulp shreds, a trusted feed ingredient known for its highly digestible fiber content. After sugar is extracted from sugar beets, the remaining pulp provides an energy-rich, low-sugar, low-protein fiber source that supports digestive health, body condition, and safe weight gain.
 
Ideal for horses of all activity levels, beet pulp shreds offer a slow-release energy source that won’t cause the “sugar highs” associated with grains. They are also an excellent supplement for livestock needing extra calories and fiber in their diet.
