Voluntary feed intake, apparent digestibilities and nutritive values in ponies given ad libitum access to complete pelleted diets containing different levels of unmolassed sugar beet pulp

Extract
Previous work has indicated that unmolassed sugar beet pulp (USBP) may suppress voluntary feed intake (VFI) in ponies when offered as the major component; but not when offered as a relatively minor component of the diet (Hyslop et al, 1998, 1999). However, critical levels of USBP inclusion in equine diets remain to be established. This study examines VFI, in vivo apparent digestibilities and nutritive values in ponies offered pelleted complete diets containing USBP at inclusion levels between 0 – 800 g/kg dry matter (DM).
