Sugar Beet molasses is the syrupy by-product yielded after the crystallization of sugar from concentrated sugar juice extracted from the roots of sugar beets (Beta vulgaris L.). It is viscous, dark, sweet, sugar-rich, with a caramel flavor. Like sugarcane molasses, it is very palatable to livestock. It is a major feed ingredient for all types of livestock including poultry. It is used as an energy source, as an appetizer, as a binder in compound feeds, and as a carrier for other ingredients such as sources of non-protein nitrogen (urea).
