The RUSITEC system was used to test eight diets where the supplements differed in their main carbohydrate source. The forage-to-supplement ratio was 1:1. The eight feeds characterizing the supplements by specific carbohydrates were oat hulls (modeling lignified fiber), soybean hulls (non-lignified fiber), apple pulp (pectin), sugar beet pulp (hemicelluloses and pectin), guar gum (galactomannan), Jerusalem artichoke tubers (fructan), molasses (sucrose), and wheat (starch). Supplements were iso-energetic and iso-nitrogenous. The dietary carbohydrate fractions were analyzed in detail with a combination of enzymatic and chemical methods. The methane release (mmol g-1 degraded organic matter) increased in the order of diets characterized by oat hulls (0.92), guar gum (0.99), wheat (1.04), soybean hulls (1.13), apple pulp (1.15), Jerusalem artichoke (1.21), sugar beet pulp (1.24), and molasses (1.37). According to multiple regression analysis, diets with high sugar content enhanced methane release while methane was low with high dietary lignin content. Regressions also showed that different fibrous carbohydrates had only a minor effect on methane release, probably due to lignification of the fiber. The present results suggest that equations for the estimation of methane emission of ruminants should consider dietary carbohydrate composition and lignin content.

Anin saccomobile bag technique was used to determine the rate and extent of disappearance of unmolassed sugar-beet pulp, soyabean hulls, hay cubes and an oat hull–naked oats mixture (67:33, w/w) in the foregut and total digestive tract of ponies. Ponies were administered naso-gastrically polyester mesh bags (60×10×10 mm) containing 350 mg feed, in a 3×4 Latin square design. Bags were collected at the ileo-caecal junction (small intestine bag, SIB) and in the faeces (faecal bag, FB) and their residues analysed for proximate constituents and NSP composition and content. DM disappearances from individual bags were fitted to degradation profiles () and effective degradability values determined. Significant differences (P<0·05) in DM, organic matter and crude protein (N×6·25) losses from SIB were noted between feeds with hay cubes and oat hulls–naked oats > sugar-beet pulp and soyabean hulls. Acid-detergent fibre, neutral-detergent fibre and NSP disappearances were small and varied little between feeds. In contrast, FB losses showed significant (P<0·05) differences for all constituents measured with sugar-beet pulp > soyabean hulls > hay cubes > oat hulls–naked oats. Crude protein losses from sugar-beet pulp and soyabean hulls in FB were significantly higher (P<0·05) than from SIB. FB degradation curves showed degradation to be affected by bag residence time with sugar-beet pulp > soyabean hulls and the effective degradability showed that significantly more (P<0·05) sugar-beet pulp was lost at 40.0 and 60.0 h than for the other three feeds. These results show that sugar-beet pulp and soyabean hulls are rapidly degraded by ponies and could be used as alternatives to hay in equid rations. However, the foregut availability of crude protein from sugar-beet pulp is poor, so a readily digestible source of crude protein should be offered to animals with high protein demands when diets are based on sugar-beet pulp.

ABSTRACTTwo groups of six bulls were offered a fattening diet based on barley or sugar-beet pulp in the proportions of either 500: 200 g/kg or 200: 500 g/kg to compare the effects of starch and degradable fibre on rumen fermentations, plasma hormones and metabolites. The bulls were fed twice daily at 08.00 and 16.00 h.The large proportion of sugar-beet pulp in the diet induced higher levels of acetic and butyric acids and less propionic acid than the high proportion of barley. The diurnal patterns over a 24-h period of rumen pH, volatile fatty acids, glucose and ammonia were characterized by two cycles. Sugar-beet pulp in large proportions induced more even fermentations as indicated by flatter curves with less extreme values than those produced by a large inclusion of barley in the diet. Ammonia concentration was high before feeding and decreased subsequently during 4 to 6 h after the meal.No typical patterns were observed in plasma concentrations of glucose and alpha-amino nitrogen. Plasma urea concentration rose 2h after feeding and dropped during the following 6 to 8 h. There were no effects of dietary carbohydrate composition on growth hormone concentration but plasma insulin was significantly reduced with the diet high in sugar-beet pulp. Furthermore, the insulin profile showed peaks after each meal with the barley diet but only after the afternoon feeding with the diet high in sugar-beet pulp.

Beet Pulp

Sugar beet pulp (SBP) was used as low value adsorbent for the removal of calcium from hard water. Batch experiments were conducted to determine the factors affecting adsorption of the process such as pH value and Ca concentration. The adsorption equilibrium of Ca2+ by the SBP is reached after 100min and a pseudo second-order kinetic model can describe the adsorption process. The initial concentrations of Ca varied from 927 to 1127mgCa2+/L. A dose of 30g/L sugar beet pulp was sufficient for the optimum removal of calcium. The overall uptake of Ca ions by sugar beet pulp has its maximum at pH=8. The adsorption equilibrium data fitted well with the Langmuir adsorption isotherm equation.

Joint Treatment

The possibility of joint treatment of spent sugar beet pulp and wastewater from a sugar factory was studied in this work. Works focused on processing of spent sugar beet pulp separately or together with other substrates can be found in the literature. In the case of some sugar factories, which have spare capacity in the anaerobic reactor on an anaerobic-aerobic wastewater treatment plant, joint processing of spent sugar beet pulp and wastewater from the sugar factory might be an interesting option. The results of the operation of a pilot plant of an anaerobic reactor with a capacity of 3.5 m3 are discussed. Operation of the pilot plant confirmed the possibility of cofermentation of these materials. The organic loading rate achieved in the anaerobic reactor was higher than 6 kg/(m3·d) (COD), while more than half of the load was provided by spent sugar beet pulp. The addition of sugar beet pulp decreased the concentration of ammonia nitrogen in the anaerobic reactor and it was even necessary to add nitrogen. However, the nitrogen content in sludge water depends on the C:N ratio in the processed sugar beet pulp, therefore this knowledge cannot be generalized. About 1.5 to 2-fold biogas production can be expected from the cofermentation of wastewater with sugar beet pulp in an anaerobic reactor, compared with the biogas production from just wastewater treatment.
