Burshtin

Burshtyn beet is a high-yielding polyploid variety with orange, elongated roots weighing about 3 kg. This variety is characterized by high juiciness and excellent feeding qualities, making it an ideal feed for livestock. Burshtyn has a high yield — up to 1500 centners per hectare — and low tillering, which facilitates harvesting both manually and mechanically. The smooth surface of the roots contributes to clean and easy harvest, while the large leaf mass preserves freshness and health until harvest.

The Burshtyn variety is distinguished by high frost resistance — seedlings can withstand temperatures down to -3 °C — as well as drought tolerance, enabling cultivation under various climatic conditions. The roots store well for a long time at temperatures from +0.5 to +4 °C, ensuring their usability throughout the entire winter period. High dry matter content and good taste qualities make this feed especially valuable for animals.

Burshtyn beet is versatile in application and suitable for various types of livestock. It promotes the production of lean meat in cattle, stimulates high-quality milk production in dairy cows, serves as an excellent feed for rabbits when combined with straw or hay, and provides easily digestible energy and vitamin A for horses. For pigs, this variety replaces potatoes, providing a lean feed. Thanks to its characteristics and resistance to adverse conditions, Burshtyn is a reliable and effective forage crop.
