Feeding Instructions
As with any new feed, introduce gradually over a week.
PuraBeet must be fed soaked.
Soak for approximately 12 hours in cold water (using hot water will decrease the minimum soaking time), with 1 part PuraBeet to 5 parts water.
Feed according to requirements and condition. Start with 50g per 100kg of bodyweight per day, increase as required up to a maximum of 2.5kg per day. For example, for a 500kg horse start with 250g per day (dry weight, before soaking) and increase as required.
A level Stubbs bowl scoop = 1.6kg (dry weight) approximately
Composition

Gill Robinson, Essex
Billy was struggling to hold weight and lacked shine in his coat, I was feeding supplements to boost his coat and skin condition. I switched to Simple System in March 2023, ever since he has been more settled, holding weight and his coat looks amazing. No supplements needed.

It took us over two years to find a feed that didn’t upset his gut health and allowed him to maintain and increase weight all year round.
