UTILIZATION OF BEET PULP FOR PRODUCTION O F MARKING MEAT

Research Institute of Sugar Industry in collaboration with institutes VUKPS Pecky and VUZV Uhrineves started in 1992 the comparative fatteni ng experiments at world beef breed of bulls and pigs fed with special mixture GRADO. This mixture contains, as a dominant component, the dri ed beet pulps. In line with principal intentions of research were foll owed the basic indices of utility (average daily grain), carcass value of tested animals, nutritive qualities of muscle tissue and other bio logical, chemical, hygienic and sensoric qualities of meat products. F rom the results of fettening tests was carried out the economic assess ment. In comparison with control feeding regime of bulls, the trials v ariant showed lower gains, but at the same time also lower costs on fa ttening and meat production in amount of 0,46 Kc/kg. This makes cca 25 0,- Kc at average slaughtering weight of a bull. Also the quality of p roducts was considerably higher. The research of the task goes on in 1 994.
