Abstract:
With the advent of increased milk production and scarcity of energy rich feed and fodder mainly during lean period is one of the major constraints for sustainable dairy development in India. Beneficial and nutritional value of sugar beet in one side and the rising competitiveness of feed grains with human consumption, other side created a massive scope for sugar beet feeding worldwide. Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) is a promising high yielding summer crop that can be grown well in the tropical and subtropical parts of India. It has several advantages over traditional fodder crops that it can tolerate the soil salinity up to 5 eCE, rich in stored carbohydrate in the form of sugar, all of its part contribute in animal feeding, can be conserved for longer period by making silage. Earlier, inspite of enriched quality, its higher sugar content than starch made it a burning topic of concern and least popular and acceptable among farmers due to the possibility of decrease in ruminal pH, hindrance in fiber digestibility and interference in microbial population but if little analytical value of sugar when rejected found to partially replace the feed grains and could support the production. Therefore, cultivation of sugarbeet with full package of practice and better utilization of its byproduct as cattle feed may help in overcoming the problem of shortage of feed and green fodder in summer season and could be a potential alternative energy source feed for cattle in India.
