Hi Moderators - hope you have a great time at the conference - wish I was there!
I came across this in a Facebook post and wondered if anyone wants to comment since this is a mainstay feed for our horses. http://www.bioequine.com/beet-pulp-warning.html -- Sharon P, Elsa April 2016

Hi, Sharon - total poppy-cock plus urban myth, and a large helping of quackery. (don't you just love social media?). I don't have any studies in front of me, but what I have looked at (published data, not bumpf from the manufacturers or made-up myths) is that the glyphosphate levels in beet pulp are tiny, tiny, tiny, or undetectable. If there were glyphosphates in the beet pulp (which there are not), it wouldn't kill the bacteria (glyphosphate is an herbicide, not insecticide or antibiotic). I will have to look up arsenic levels in beet pulp; however, I would like to point out that even if Taber is seething with arsenic, I fail to see how it is getting into the beet pulp. It would be one thing if the bp was grown in a high-arsenic area, but arsenic around the refinery is irrelevant (except to the people living there). The beet roots are treated with HOT WATER, not DCDIC (I will have to go looking to see where that particular story has come from).
So, the great thing about Facebook is that anyone can post anything, such as "Beet pulp is made using toxic chemicals"; and people run with it. I mean no disrespect to Mr. Buchanan, but I went to his website, and see no basis for any claims to being an animal therapist and nutritionist - BioEquine just lost any chance of business from me. Here is a link to Forage Plus, and some words from Dr. Kellon: https://forageplus.co.uk/should-i-feed-beet-pulp-to-my-horse/ -- Jaini Clougher (BSc,BVSc) Merlin (over the bridge) ,Maggie,Gypsy, Ranger BC 09
