HYGAIN Tru Beet NEWMAN, TOM PRICE, PARABURDOO

THE INSTANT FIBRE MASH

Low starch, steam extruded beet pulp nuggets.

Formulation Highlights:

• LOW SUGAR, LOW STARCH: Non-structural carbohydrates (NSC), such as sugars and starch, can affect both digestive health and behaviour when fed at high quantities. Excess NSC may pass through the small intestine undigested, disrupting hindgut microbial balance and contributing to sharp insulin responses and increased excitability in sensitive horses. Tru Beet™ minimises the risks with a carefully controlled NSC level to deliver slow release energy, resulting in a low sugar, low starch feed suitable for all horses including those with metabolic conditions or susceptible to gastric ulcers.
• HIGHLY DIGESTIBLE FIBRE: Rich in pectin and fermentable fibre, Tru Beet™ promotes hindgut microbial balance and efficient nutrient absorption. The high fibre content nourishes beneficial hindgut microbes, producing essential energy and nutrients. Combined with a low NSC, Tru Beet™ supports gut balance and helps maintain a strong immune system.
• INSTANT MASH: The steam-extruded nuggets absorb water almost immediately, forming a mash that encourages hydration and mixes easily with supplements, grain or fortified feeds. Quick soaking allows busy horse owners to prepare feeds quickly without waiting 5–20 minutes for traditional beet pulp. When soaked at a ratio of 4 parts water to one part Tru Beet™ , the nuggets expand to four times their weight.
• UNIQUE EXTRUDED NUGGET: Tru Beet™ is an extruded beet pulp nugget for horses. Advanced steam extrusion reorganises the fibre structure, enabling it to convert to a soft mash almost instantly when water is added. Tru Beet™ completes Hygain®’s 'Tru' range of advanced extruded feeds, delivering consistent nutrition and superior feeding performance.
