Turnip and swede are related brassicas.  They have good nutritive value, and typically a low dry matter and crude protein concentration.  However, their protein tends to be very degradable.

Mangels have a high nitrate concentration if fresh (need to store for a few weeks).  High intakes of fodderbeet can cause GI tract disturbances, hypocalcaemia and in rare cases death.

Sugarbeet pulp is the residue following sugar extraction from sugarbeet root.  It has a high dry matter and digestible fibre content, but a relatively low protein and phosphorus concentration.  It is available in pellets or shreds, molassed or unmolassed.  Can also be ensiled with distillers/brewers grains (draff) to form Grainbeet.

Molasses is the residue following sugar extraction from sugarbeet root (also get molasses from sugarcane).  It involves crystallisation and separation of sugar from water extract.  Molasses is a thick, black liquid that is very low in protein concentration but very high in soluble sugars.  It is often added to sugarbeet pulp, proprietary feeds, mineral licks, and TMR rations.
