At the turn of the century, fodder beet enjoyed a significant upsurge in Europe, as it formed part of the basic winter feed for cattle. However, this was not a preferred crop, as harvesting and distribution were not mechanized at that time, and required considerable manpower. Mechanical developments now permit the full exploitation of the advantages of fodder beet, which only provides nutritional benefits if administered in a reasonable dose.
Fodder beet is a highly palatable and energy-rich feed.
The nutritional benefits of beet are acknowledged. Considered as a concentrate rather than a feed, this rapidly fermentable source of energy increases the fat content rating, and delivers a very good return at a highly competitive cost.
A unique and efficient system for chopping, distributing and cleaning all types of beets and other feed.
Beet has long been excluded from cattle feed on the grounds of the cost of distribution. Cleaning and de-stoning processes were not mechanized, and required substantial manpower. The HB model produced by ROBERT addresses and overcomes this issue with a complete and innovative 5-in-1 system.
