1 The Carbon/Oxygen Cycle involves three major processes and one minor process: photosynthesis, respiration, combustion and decomposition. 2  Photosynthesis 3  : Green plants/trees take in Carbon Dioxide and water using the chlorophyll in their leaves and energy from the sun they release Oxygen, sugar and water vapor.
Sometimes molasses is added to improve palatability. Beet pulp is usually fed to horses in addition to hay, but occasionally is a replacement for hay when fed to very old horses who can no longer chew properly. A standard ration of beet pulp for horses is usually 2 to 5 pounds (0.9 to 2.3 kg) dry weight.
At least 65% of this amount should be forage. In other words, a 1000 lb horse should be fed 18 lb of dry matter each day. Dry matter (DM) is the amount of feed that does not contain moisture; the DM content of hay is considerably higher than fresh grass. Your hay analysis should show the DM content of your forage.
