Description
Sugar beet has a conical, white, fleshy root (a taproot) with a flat crown. The plant consists of the root and a rosette of leaves. Sugar is formed through a process of photosynthesis in the leaves, and it is then stored in the root. Sugar Beet Pulp is a by-product from the processing of the sugar beet, usually in pellet form, high in energy, fibre, and protein and used for feed for horses and livestock. It is supplied either as dried flakes or as compressed pellets. Despite being a by-product of sugar beet processing, beet pulp itself is low in sugar and other non-structural carbohydrates, but high in energy and fibre. Stowage factor about 60 cbft/mt
