Zero starch but would have had a lot of sugar in it with the beet pulp. Sugar will still fatten an animal if fed in large quantity's, from a nutrition point of view it isn't the heathiest. A bit like you replacing your carbohydrates with sugar in your diet, you are still going to get fat if you eat too much of it.Interestingly I had a chat with the lady in the office about it and enquired about beet pulp prices, years ago we made grainbeet 4:1 and it fattened cattle well which mystified me with having zero starch. She quoted around £330 so it works out around £300/tonne mixed @ 86/dm, it would be the most inline with other rations it’s been for years, it soaked up nearly all the juice
