After juice has been extracted from sugar beet root, the pulp that remains is called Beet Pulp, which is used for animal diet all over the world. The consumption of beet pulp makes animals healthier, especially milking animals as beet pulp increases their milking yield. The beet pulp can be preserved to make silage. If silage is stocked in an ideal manner it can be preserved for a whole year, especially when other alternate fodders are not available. It can also be mixed with wheat, barley and alpha or with any other concentrate.

Beet pulp has a high percentage of natural fibers. In addition, it contains protein, minerals and glucose. Because of sufficient quantity of digestible natural fibres, it is full of energy. It is comparatively the cheapest source of animal feed available to the dairy farms in Pakistan.

To preserve beet pulp safely it is necessary to have bunkers for beet pulp storage. Before filling, the bunker floor should be covered with the plastic sheet. After filling the bunker with beet pulp cover it with plastic sheets to ensure the pulp is airtight. This will help preserve and protect the beet pulp.
