Sugar Beet pulp is the fibrous portion of the sugar beet, left after the sugar and liquid has been removed. It is mechanically pressed, dried, and then pelletized into a 5/16 (8mm) diameter pellet. The fiber in sugar beet pulp is highly digestible making it a good non-starch energy source for cattle and horses. It is a popular feed used by dairy farmers as a structural carbohydrate, and is also widely used as an ingredient in the production of pet foods.
