Why phosphate when feeding beet pulp. What does BP have that needs to be balanced by the phos.

If feeding this much definitly need to add 1 tsp monosodium phospate per lb of BP to balance the major minerals. Most horses do not like the taste of phosphorus so that much could be a problem. Will need to balance the traces as well. Goya may not eat this amount of BP or may not be interested in enough hay to make up the rest of his needed food - you'll need to experiment.
