The application of beet pulp granules in the livestock industry: Enhancing production performance and optimizing breeding efficiency

Beet pulp granules are high-quality and cost-effective functional feed ingredients in livestock breeding, especially widely used in ruminant animal breeding. They are rich in soluble fibers (pectin) and insoluble fibers, which can promote ruminant chewing and saliva secretion, stabilize rumen pH, reduce the risk of rumen acidosis and metabolic diseases caused by heat stress, and can also serve as a prebiotic carrier to maintain the balance of intestinal flora, helping to improve the production performance of dairy cows, beef cattle, and sheep, such as milk yield, milk fat rate, and daily weight gain. In addition, they can partially replace energy feed such as corn, and through the granulation process, they are convenient for storage and transportation, and can also reduce urea nitrogen emissions and optimize the breeding environment.

Application of beet pulp in the pet industry

In pet food, beet pulp granules are a common functional ingredient. With its abundant dietary fiber, it plays a core role. It can be used as a fecal hardener to improve the pet's defecation condition and alleviate constipation. It can also prolong the retention time of food residue and increase the feeling of fullness, assisting in controlling the pet's weight. Its natural sweetness can enhance the palatability of the feed. Moreover, the protein, vitamins and minerals it contains can provide basic nutrition for the pet. After drying and granulation, it is easy to store. Its property of expanding in water volume also meets the feeding needs of pets, helping to maintain the intestinal health and overall condition of companion animals such as dogs and cats.
