Record 5 2006-05-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Sugar Industry
  • Industrial Tools and Equipment
CONT

The process of turning beets into sugar began with the local farmers, who had to pledge to plant a certain number of acres in sugar beets. When the harvested beets were delivered to the factory, they were weighed, washed and sliced. A diffusion battery separated the juice from the pulp. The pulp was dried and used as cattle fodder. The juice was processed and boiled under vacuum until grains of sugar were formed. The grains of sugar were separated from the molasses, or moisture, run through a drier to become the product known as granulated sugar, and then packaged.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sucrerie (Industrie de l'alimentation)

Dicté par les éléments fournis en permanence par le laboratoire, le réglage de la marche de l'usine était délicat : richesse saccharine et alcalinité étaient les données essentielles. La première imposait à la batterie de diffusion un «soutirage» plus ou moins important; la seconde se répercutait sur le chaulage et la floculation.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Forage Crops
  • Animal Feed (Agric.)
DEF

A plant used to feed livestock.

CONT

Most of the highly digestible nutrients in forages are present in the leafy part of the forage. Less digestible components are present in the stem and other structural components of the forage plant. As a plant matures, the relative proportion of leaves to stem decreases. Therefore, the nutrient rich and highly digestible proportions of the plant decrease with age, while the less digestible and less nutrient rich components of the plant increase.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Culture des plantes fourragères
  • Alimentation des animaux (Agric.)
