Beet pulp is a by-product of sugar production, obtained after pressing crushed sugar beets. In essence, it is a fibrous mass left after extraction of sugar from beet juice. After processing, the cake takes the form of a dry or wet mass rich in carbohydrates, protein and fiber.
Beet pulp is characterized by high nutritional value and availability. Its main advantages include:
- A source of easily digestible carbohydrates and proteins needed to support animal vital functions. - An excellent source of fiber, essential for proper functioning of the intestinal tract. - It contains minerals and trace elements that strengthen immunity and ensure normal development of animals.
Due to these qualities, cake is actively used in agriculture as a component of complete balanced feeding of cattle, sheep, goats and pigs.
