Discussion
Three of the following are used chiefly as animal feed. Which is used as a fuel?
Bagasse
Oilseed cake
Wheat bran
Defatted rice bran
Answer: A
Correct answer: Bagasse
Bagasse is the fibrous residue from crushed cane, almost entirely lignocellulose with very little protein or digestible energy. It is burnt in the mill's boilers, where it typically supplies all the steam and power the mill needs.
The other three are feeds. Oilseed cake is a protein concentrate, wheat bran a fibre and protein source, and defatted rice bran still carries useful protein and fibre once the oil has been taken. Burning any of them would waste a far higher value.
