Abstract：Beet pulp,a by-product of the sugar industry,has become an essential fiber source for improving the rumen function of ruminant animals,due to its significant cost-effectiveness and environmentally sustainable characteristics.This article examined recent applications,technological advancements,developmental prospects,application limitations,and trends concerning the utilization of beet pulp as animal feed.The analysis indicated a rapid expansion of its application from ruminants to various livestock and poultry sectors,including pigs,aquaculture,and poultry,thereby significantly enhancing its market competitiveness as a low-carbon feed ingredient.Biological fermentation technology presents notable advantages in augmenting beet pulp protein content,facilitating oligosaccharide release,and improving animal digestibility,with expectations for large-scale application in the future.Extrusion technology,as a relatively mature method,could effectively enhance feed digestibility and nutrient utilization.However,research on its specific application to beet pulp feed remained insufficient.This review aimed to comprehensively explore the overall potential of beet pulp in constructing economically viable,resource-efficient,and environmentally sustainable feed systems,providing a theoretical basis and practical guidance for optimization in related industries(such as feed formulation optimization and raw material substitution schemes)and technological innovation(such as process improvement,and enhancing palatability and utilization).
