An improved animal feed production process is defined wherein sugar beet pulp, molassed or otherwise, is warmed and made moist by the introduction of steam and subsequently subjected to infra-red, microwave or other radiation which "micronizes" the pulp. The micronization reduces all the complex macromolecules, starches and proteins which may be present in the sugar beet pulp in such a manner that there is no longer a need for intensive soaking of the pulp prior to issuing to animals and livestock for feeding thereof. The steaming is conducted at a temperature of below 800{C and the rapid heating from the steaming temperature to approximately 180{C for ideally 20 seconds by infra-red or other radiation surprisingly renders the feed far more manageable and digestible by animals. |
