Adra fodder beet is an agricultural crop intended for use as nutritious feed for various types of livestock, including cows, sheep, pigs, and other farm animals. This beet variety is distinguished by its high fiber content and other essential nutrients, which contribute to healthy animal development and productivity. Adra beet is packaged in 100-gram portions, making it convenient for use in farms of various scales.
Adra fodder beet belongs to the medium-maturing varieties with a vegetation period of approximately 140-155 days. The roots are elongated and light-yellow in color, weighing between 1000 and 1700 grams each. The root flesh is crisp and contains up to 12-12.5% dry matter and about 17% sugars, providing high energy value for feed. The yield of this variety reaches 150 tons per hectare, and the roots retain their quality until spring. The plant is characterized by high cold resistance, tolerating temperatures down to -4 degrees Celsius, as well as resistance to lodging, which enhances harvest reliability and stability.
In addition to roots, the fodder beet's foliage is of particular importance. The leaves are highly nutritious and can serve as an additional feed source for animals. The stems are strongly developed and can reach over one meter in length, while the leaves have a juicy green color and heart-shaped tips. Due to these characteristics, Adra fodder beet is an effective and cost-efficient solution for enriching animal rations in livestock farms.
