Great forage to keep weight on without sugars. Horses love it. Extensive soaking not necessary. I just add enough water to make it soupy initially, the shreds absorb water and expand. Do not feed dry.

Standlee has begun packaging this product in a sealed plastic bag.  When you open the bag the product has a very strong chemical odor.  My horses (who used to love this stuff) refuse to eat it.  I hoped the odor would disperse once I removed the beet pulp from the bag, but it is, it continues to linger.  I don't know if the problem is the new plastic bag, or there is something contaminating the beet pulp.
