Beet Pulp Pellets

Beet pulp pellets are the fibrous portions of the sugarbeet left after the sugar is removed. The leftover sugarbeet is mechanically pressed and dried to reduce the moisture content to approximately 9%. Then the beet pulp is pelletized into a 5/16-inch pellet. The fiber in beet pulp pellets is highly digestible, which make it a great non-starch energy source.

Sugar Beet Pulp Shreds

Sugarbeet pulp shreds are agri-products specific to the sugar beet industry. The shreds offer high-quality beet pulp for cattle feed and for a variety of other types of livestock feed. The sugar beet pulp shreds are the fibrous portion of the sugar beet left after the sugar is removed, and are mechanically pressed and dried to reduce the water content to approximately 9 percent. Sugar beet pulp fiber is highly digestible, extremely palatable, and less dusty than hay in its feed form. This product is available in 40 lb. bags and comes in plain and beet molasses-added forms.

Beet Molasses

Beet molasses is another agri-product specific to the sugar beet industry. Beet molasses is the residual liquid left over from the sugar beet extraction process, providing an excellent source of energy for livestock. In addition to livestock and cattle, beet molasses is also a valuable resource for the fermentation industry.

Raffinate

Raffinate is desugared beet molasses. It’s a product specific to the sugarbeet industry. Raffinate is made up of the residual liquid that’s created when the sugar is removed from beet molasses. It provides an excellent source of energy and protein for livestock.
