Feeding Value

In recent years there has been increasing interest in adding concentrate feedstuffs at ensiling for a number of reasons. Firstly, from a management point of view, it can be an easy method of feeding a concentrate supplement and secondly feedstuffs may have some absorbent capacity and thus reduce effluent production. However, it is important that the feeding value of the material added is retained during the ensiling process and that the silage preserves well. The objective of this experiment was to assess the nutritive value of silage made by adding dried molassed sugar beet pulp to grass at ensiling, when fed to castrated sheep.

The object of the investigation which has been described in the present communication has been to secure information concerning the feeding value of sugar beet pulp as produced at the present time in this country. Data have been obtained respecting:(1) The composition and digestibility of wet sugar beet pulp.(2) The composition of dried sugar beet pulp and the digestibility of this feeding stuff when fed to ruminants (a) in the dry condition, and (b) after preliminary soaking in water.(3) The composition of molasses-sugar beet pulp.Data have been given showing the amounts of sugar beet by-products which are becoming available for use on the farm.The commercial processes of drying wet sugar beet pulp, and the method of manufacture of molasses-sugar beet pulp, have been described.It has been shown that crude fibre (20.3 per cent.) and N-free extractives (65.7 per cent.) constitute together more than four-fifths of the dry matter of sugar beet pulp, the latter being deficient in respect of protein, ash and oil. The carbohydrate of sugar beet pulp is invested with, special interest, being mainly in the form of pectose. A short account of the chemistry of the pectic substances has been given.

Chewing Behaviour

Sugar beet pulp (SBP) is fed to ruminants as a non-forage ﬁbre source (NFFS) ingredient. Early work by Ronning and Bath (1962) demonstrated that SBP was similar in feeding value to barley grain for lactating dairy cattle, supporting classiﬁcation of beet pulp as an energy concentrate. Sugar beet pulp contains approximately 40% neutral detergent ﬁbre (NDF) and is unique in its high concentration of neutral detergent soluble ﬁber, especially pectic substances (~25% of dry matter (DM)). However, the effects of SBP when substituted with different feed sources in ration are variable that depend on chemical composition, types and physical characteristics. The time which cows spent eating and ruminating (total chewing time) is a measure of the physically effective fibre value of a feed. The objective of the present experiment was to evaluate the effect of substitution of barley grain with SBP as a NFFS on chewing activity of Holstein steers.

Matter Basis

SUMMARYTwo 16-week experiments with lactating Ayrshire cows were conducted to study the effect on milk production of replacing barley with dried molassed sugar-beet pulp on an equal dry-matter basis. The cows on all treatments received equal weights of hay, groundnut cake and minerals but the contents of barley and of sugar-beet pulp each varied from 0 to 80% in the different concentrate mixtures. The total daily intake of dry matter expressed as a percentage of live weight averaged 2·64 and 2·72 in the two experiments.The average yield of milk in the two experiments was 18·8 kg/cow per day, and, within each experiment, the mean yields of milk and the contents of solids-not-fat and crude protein were not significantly different on the contrasting feeding treatments. The intake of water was significantly increased as the dried beet pulp replaced the barley but no major changes occurred in the proportions of V.F.A.S in the rumen liquor.It is concluded that barley and dried molassed sugar-beet pulp had the same feeding value on a dry-matter basis when used in the production ration of milking cows. It is suggested that for most purposes barley and dried sugar-beet pulp are interchangeable on an equal weight basis, but for more precise feeding the two feeds should replace each other on an equal dry-weight basis.

Feeding Value

Silage effluent represents a potential pollutant and a loss of ensiled nutrients. An absorbent provides the possibility of absorbing effluent, aiding fermentation and increasing the feeding value of the silage. Sugar beet pulp (SBP) nuts and rolled barley (RB) were evaluated as absorbents with direct cut grass silage.Perennial ryegrass swards of 222 g/kg average dry matter were direct cut between 10 and 12 July 1989. Grass was ensiled with the following rates of absorbent per tonne of fresh material:1.20 kg SBP (S20).2.40 kg SBP (S40).3.40 kg RB (B40).4.Untreated (U).Production of silage effluent was measured with a tippler mechanism attached to an electronic logger and recorded daily until 22 September. The silages were individually fed through Calan Broadbent doors to 48 x 12 month old Friesian steers between 24 October and 19 December.

The question of the composition of sugar beet tops and their utilisation for feeding purposes has been dealt with in a recent publication (l). The purpose of the present communication is to record the results of investigations into the problem of the preservation of sugar beet tops by the method of ensilage. The account falls naturally under four headings:I. Ensilage of sugar beet tops alone.II. Ensilage of sugar beet tops mixed with wheat chaff.III. Ensilage of sugar beet tops mixed with wet sugar beet pulp.IV. Nutritive value, as determined by digestion trials on sheep, of the silage obtained from the mixture of tops and pulp.

Feeding horses high levels of cereal starch can result in diet-related azoturia, laminitis and colic, whereas high fibre, forage-based diets do not generally elicit these conditions. Therefore, it would be advantageous to develop fibrous feeds with increased digestibilities, permitting horses with high energy demands to be sustained on greater forage: cereal starch ratios. High temperature dried (HT) alfalfa has been fed to horses for a number of years and it is common practise to combine this with sugar beet pulp (SB) another nutritious fibrous feed for horses. Synergistic effects of SB when added to fibre-based diets have been observed in other species in vivo (Longland et al., 1994) whereby the digestibility of graminaceous feeds has been increased. However, such effects have been little examined in horses fed a leguminous-forage diet. The aim of this study therefore, was to determine if SB enhanced the digestibility of alfalfa, a forage legume that is increasingly being fed to equines in the UK.

The Uk

The fibrous forage high temperature dried (HT) alfalfa has been fed to horses for a number of years because of its consistently high nutritive value. It is common practise in the UK to combine HT alfalfa either chopped or in a ground and pelleted form with sugar beet pulp (SB) as this is regarded as a nutritious feed for horses. Synergistic effects of sugar beet when added to fibre-based diets have been observed in other species (Longland et al., 1994) whereby the digestibility of graminaceous forages has been increased. However, such effects have been little examined in horses and there is a lack of information in the literature on the effects of SB on the digestibility of leguminous forages. Thus, the effect of sugar beet on the in vitro fermentation of ground and chopped HT alfalfa by an equid hind-gut microflora using the pressure transducer technique of Theodorou et al. (1994) was investigated.

SummaryThe effects of pasture height and of a cereal-based concentrate or a sugar-beet pulp supplement were studied with 30 spring-calving cows on continuously stocked, perennial ryegrass dominant pasture in a 3 × 3 latin-square design with periods of 4 weeks. Pastures were maintained at heights of about 5·0 cm (short) or 6·5 cm (control). On the short pasture, the two supplements had similar effects and were additive but on the control pasture, compared with sugar-beet pulp, the cereal concentrate depressed herbage intake. Average fat-corrected milk yields were 26·3 and 28·1 kg/day on short and control areas respectively. Both supplements increased milk yields by about 0·7 kg per kg OM supplied. Cows on the short pasture tended to lose weight. Supplements slightly increased live weight and sugar-beet pulp tended to increase body condition score. In observations continued after the conclusion of the main experiment the short pasture was more productive and of slightly higher nutritive value. Cows receiving the concentrate supplements increased total intake but this was reflected only in live weight. The total utilized metabolizable energy for the whole season was about 130 GJ/ha.
