All the same won’t I be better off not feeding Speedi-Beet?
Not necessarily. All feedingstuffs contain sugars, or chains of sugars (e.g. starch). In fact, at around 5%, Speedi-Beet has lower total sugars than oat feed (13%), Grass (11%), Alfalfa (8%) and most other feedstuffs. If you are concerned, after soaking Speedi-Beet squeeze out the excess water and pour off. The sugar that had dissolved in the water will therefore be discarded. Trials have demonstrated a 60% reduction in sugar content, with only 1 “wash”.
