Livestock feed from sugar beet

Our animal feed is sourced from sugar beet growing areas in Europe and produced from non-genetically modified sugar beet varieties. We process sugar beet into a range of products, including sugar and animal feed. In addition, most of the water used in the production process is obtained from the beet itself.

Here’s how the process works: We start by cleaning and cutting up the sugar beets, separating the tops and tails of the beets which are used as feed material or in biogas production.

Next, we extract the sugar from the beet pulp and crystallize it in several steps. The syrup that remains after extraction – the molasses – still contains sugar and other components.

Following the extraction, the sugar beet pulp is pressed mechanically and sold as a fresh-pressed pulp. Through further processing, the pressed pulp can be dried, molassed and pelletized to produce several sugar beet pulp products:

• Pressed beet pulp
• Sugar Beet Pulp Pellets (SBPP)
• Beet Molasses

Animal feed derived from wheat

In addition to our sugar beet animal feed co-products, we also produce wheat starch. During wheat grain processing, we separate the wheat bran and then pelletize it. Our wheat bran pellets are a popular product in the feed industry.

• Wheat bran pellets

Organic animal feed

Some of our co-products are also available in certified organic quality:

• Sugar Beet Pulp Pellets (10 mm)
• Beet Molasses

Südzucker offers different products from organic sugar beet, which are certified following EU-organic-regulation as well as the standards of certain German private organic associations, such as Naturland and Bioland (or BioSuisse for beet molasses).
