Sugar Beep Pulp Pellet The extracted pulp is gently dried and then pressed into pellets. The dried sugar beet pulp is a valuable source of roughage, and therefore an optimal animal feed supplement. Sugar beet pulp has a high proportion of fibre which is particularly easily exploitable by ruminants. Fibre largely consists of cellulose, hemi-cellulose and pectins which can be continuously metabolised, unlike starch and sugar. The nutrients are almost exclusively broken down by microorganisms in the rumen and the large intestines, where they are primarily broken down into acetic acid.
