For livestock or horses, beet pulp is excellent for putting on healthy weight. Usually, starting with 0.5 to 1 kg of dry pulp (which must be thoroughly soaked in water first!) per day is standard. Always consult a local vet to adjust the amount based on your animal's current weight.
In my thirty years of keeping cattle, I have seen that beet pulp works wonders for thin animals. A safe starting portion is around 1 kg of soaked pulp daily, mixed with their regular dry fodder. Don't rush the weight gain, let their digestive system adjust slowly over a few weeks.
I manage our family farm alongside my corporate job, so I need practical solutions. If you are feeding beet pulp for weight gain, keep it to around 1 to 2 kg daily, depending on the animal's size. Just make sure you or your farm help soak it for at least 2 hours to avoid choking hazards.
I wish someone would feed me something to help me lose weight instead! But for animals, a moderate scoop of soaked beet pulp daily is standard for fattening them up. Just stick to a small amount first so their stomach doesn't get upset.

Make sure you don't feed them so much that they turn into giant balloons! Start with about half a kilo of dry pulp and soak it till it fluffy. It is a slow process, so don't expect overnight miracles.
