Is beet pulp safe for chickens to eat?

Date sort Score sort
sweet, gonna start feeding my meat birds some in these last couple weeks before butcher.
 
monogastrics will happily ferment fermentable fiber in the gut, extracting vitamins, minerals, and short chain fatty acids which provide calories. Beet pulp has a lot of fermentable fibers, and it is normal that it will help chickens in small quantities. it is long fibers, cellulose, that does not help.
 
Feeding a high fiber to a monogastric animal will not only dilute nutrition but it will also increased the rate of passage through the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and less time for digestive enzymes to act.
 
This stuff is a good winter treat too. Mix I with hot water and a little honey and maybe some fruits or veggies tossed in and they'll destroy it
