Inclusion of sugar beet pulp in cereal-based diets for fattening lambs

Nutrient digestibility in sheep fed diets containing Roundup Ready or conventional fodder beet, sugar beet, and beet pulp.

The objective of this digestibility assessment was to determine whether there are significant differences in the digestibility of Roundup Ready (glyphosate-tolerant) and conventional sugar beet, fodder beet, and beet pulp produced from sugar beet varieties when fed to sheep (seven wethers per treatment group). Three experiments were conducted in this assessment. Experiment 1 (35 wethers) compar...

Investigation of Different Levels of Sugar Beet Pulp and Citrus Residue on Productive Performance of Baluchi Lambs

      In livestock nutrition management to increase productivity, finding intensive sources of food is a great achievement. .The sub-sectors of the agricultural sector in the feeding of ruminant animals make it possible to use them for the production of valuable products such as meat and milk. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of using citrus and sugar beet pulp in diet o...

Fungal secretomes enhance sugar beet pulp hydrolysis

The recalcitrance of lignocellulose makes enzymatic hydrolysis of plant biomass for the production of second generation biofuels a major challenge. This work investigates an efficient and economic approach for the enzymatic hydrolysis of sugar beet pulp (SBP), which is a difficult to degrade, hemicellulose-rich by-product of the table sugar industry. Three fungal strains were grown on different...

The Optimum Energy Density in Diets for Lori-Bakhtiari Lambs during a Fattening Program

Forty growing ram lambs (Lori-Bakhtiari breed) averaging 28 kg (±1.5) were allocated in this study to evaluate the optimal dietary energy density in a lamb fattening enterprise in Iran. The feed intake (FI), body weight (BW), gain to feed ratio (G:F) and carcass characteristics were studied. Four treatments differed in metabolizable energy content (ME) as follow; 2, 2.3, 2.6 and 2.9 Mcal/kg for...
