Extract

A Number of experiments Bhattacharya and Sleiman, 1971; Bhattacharya and Lubbadah, 1971; Castle, 1972; Castle, Gill and Watson, 1981) have shown that dried sugar-beet pulp is equal to barley in feeding value when included in the concentrate portion of the diet given to milking dairy cows. In recent years, there has been increasing interest in feeding the undried pulp, from which some of the moisture has been removed by heavy presses. This product is known as ‘pressed pulp’.
