Feeds; Animal nutrition. MISCELLANEOUS CONCENTRATES 151 Beet molasses.—Molasses from beet-sugar factories, which contains about 66 per ct. nitrogen-free extract, nearly all sugar, is a valuable carbonaceous feed, if properly used. The feeding value of the mo- lasses is about three-fourths that of corn. Both beet and cane molasses are low in crude protein, and the small amount present is of low nutritive value. Molasses should thus be used with protein-rich feeds. Because of its laxative nature animals should be gradually accustomed to this feed, and the amount given daily per 1,000 lbs. live weight should be limited as follows: Driving horses may be fed Fig. 44.—Cattle Fattening on Wet Beet Pulp in the West The beet pulp is brought to the feed lots on the tramway. Note the beet- sugar factory in the background. lbs. and draft horses 4 lbs. or even more; dairy cows up to 3 lbs.; fattening cattle to 8 lbs.; fattening sheep to 5 lbs.; and fattening swine to 10 lbs. Breeding animals should receive less than fat- tening ones, and but little for some weeks before delivery. Because of its sticky nature, the molasses is usually distributed over hay or straw, and large feeders in the West use machines for mixing it with cut roughage. Molasses-beet pulp.—Beet molasses is sometimes combined with beet pulp and dried, forming dried molasses-beet pulp. This feed is.
