Pavo SpeediBeet is a high fibre feed made from unmolassed sugar beet pulp. The flakes are subjected to a patented cooking process to produce a complementary feed that is – quick soaking – and ready to feed – in 10 minutes. Tasty, handy and healthy for every horse.
Pavo Speedibeet does not contain starch and has a sugar content of only 5% ! This makes it an ideal feed for horses who are sensitive for sugar.
Pavo SpeediBeet contains a high proportion of soluble fibre, mostly pectins, which are more easily digested than the fibres found in other forages like hay. This makes Pavo SpeediBeet an outstanding source of slow-release energy, perfect for competition horses. Pectin has a prebiotic effect stimulating the growth of healthy bacteria and supporting intestinal health.
Horses really need their fibre- in the wild they spend up to 16 hours a day munching on it. If your horse is in the barn, it doesn’t have the ability to forage, which can lead to unwanted behaviours. Is your horse bored? Does it spend 8 hours or more in the stable? These treats provide a nice distraction!
Oats has been used for 2,000 years as raw material in horse feed. The Romans carried oats to their war horses for extra energy during heavy campaigns. The beauty of oats is that it is well digestible starch present for horses, in contrast to the other starches in cereal grains such as wheat, barley and maize. Oats can be ‘untreated’ fed directly from the land.
