Pressed Pulp

Pressed Pulp

On arrival at a sugar factory, beet is sampled then bulked before entering the factory. Prior to processing, it is cleaned and sliced into smaller pieces after which the sugar is washed out using water at 70?C. After sugar extraction, the sliced pieces of sugar beet are mechanically pressed to remove excess liquid. This co-product is known as Pressed Pulp.

A palatable forage and partial concentrate extender. Ideal for ruminants, but not pigs and poultry. With a typical DM of 20 > 30% this product is a useful energy feed for dairy cows, beef cattle and sheep. Ideal for use in complete feeds or for use as a midday feed. This buffer feed and moist concentrate is a high energy succulent to supplement silage when supplies are limited or the quality poor. Pressed Pulp improves the energy density of rations based on straw and hay. In complete diet systems, its high energy density and physical nature enhance the quality of the mix.

Feeding

Pressed Sugar Beet Pulp can be fed to most farm livestock in a wide range of feeding situations. Whether used as part of a total mixed ration (TMR), as a sole concentrate feed or as a forage replacer, care should be taken to ensure a good long fibre source is present and that the minerals are correctly balanced, particularly for phosphorus, which tends to be short on sugar beet products.
