Beet Pulp

Due to its slower rate of rumen degradation, molassed sugar beet pulp (MBP) is considered to result in a higher pH in rumen fluid wnen compared with cereals and to be of benefit in diets where maximum fibre digestion is desired (Fahmy et al., 1984). Sodium hydroxide-treatment of MBP, by increasing feed pH may increase the value of MBP still further in these situations. The most common method of processing whole cereal grains is dry rolling. Sodium hydroxide pre-treatment has also been shown to increase the digestibility of whole cereal grains close to thai achieved by dry rolling (Orskov, 1979). Little information is available on the relative effects on rumen fermentation of both processing methods. The objectives of this study were to (1) determine the effects of treating MBP with NaOH and (2) compare the effects of rolfing (R) and S as processing methods for barley and wheat, on rumen fermentation and dry matter (DM) degradability (DMD) in steers offered grass silage.

There is considerable scope for modifying the extent of fermentation during silage production by selecting an appropriate silage additive, with chemicals such as formic acid restricting fermentation and/or fermentable carbohydrates stimulating the natural fermentation in the silo. Both approaches can achieve satisfactory preservation but can produce silages of quite different chemical compositions. The objective of this experiment was to compare the pattern of rumen fermentation and digestibility of a silage, which had 50 kg of molassed sugar beet pulp (MSBP) applied at harvesting, with those of an untreated silage and a silage treated with formic acid.
