Beet for Feeding

Beet for Feeding - Reliable homegrown Feedstuff

Global demand for milk and meat products is growing steadily. Market developments put prices under pressure, which makes milk and meat production challenging. Farmers constantly look for options to improve their efficiency to stay competitive.

Feedstuff has a major impact on this:

Feed costs account for the largest share of total milk production cost.
Feedstuff plays a major role for animal health and welfare.
Quantity and quality of feed has a strong impact on livestock performance.

Efficiency in feeding is key for competitive farmers. KWS offers a new perspective on feeding: beet - homegrown, energy rich and highly palatable feedstuff.

The Benefits of Beet for Feeding

High and stable yields

Beets efficiently use water and nutrients, bring along resistances and tolerances and continue growing in the autumn until the perfect harvest date is reached.

High feed value

Cattle love beets – profit from a high feed intake with a high energy content and high digestibility.

Nutritional consistency

There is no change in the nutritional profile (energy, proteins) due to the harvesting date.

Animal health

Balance your carbohydrate sources with rumen friendly beets.

Improve your Income Over Feed Cost

Achieve higher revenues by increasing milk solids and lower your feed costs by replacing purchased concentrates with homegrown forages.

A beet crop on your farm may save your working time and deliver a highly competitive feedstuff for your animals.

Grazing

Grazing beet directly off the field has been practiced in the Southern Hemisphere over the last decade. The success has been immense, especially in New Zealand where almost 70,000 hectares have been annually grazed of dairy and beef herds.

Feedbeet raises yield and enhance economy

No other crop type may provide you with higher yield in the field. And moreover cows love eating beet. Beet in the diet may pay off by higher milk yield and increased milk solids
