Fodder is the colloquial name for grains that are sprouted and form a thick, nutritious feed source for feeding livestock. It is believed to bye first used by nomads centuries ago to feed travelling herds. 

It is a growing chamber that is used to sprout seeds and grains for livestock feed and human consumption. 

Seeds are spread onto the growing trays and are watered at predetermined intervals with an overhead sprinkler system.  A set temperature is maintained inside the system and humidity levels maintained at predetermined levels. Every molecule of air is treated to ensure airborne mold cannot exist.  

We recommend that in most cases fresh fodder be used in conjunction with a balanced feeding program. It can most certainly replace a large amount of existing feed and significantly reduce costs in most cases. 

You need a fodder system to reduce your feed costs, to provide your animals with the most nutritious fresh feed source on the planet, to combat climate challenges such as drought, to reduce methane emissions (in cattle), to accurately predict feeding costs, to reduce the need to purchase more land to expand your operations, to create a more nutritious end product for human consumption and to give your animals a better life whilst they are on this planet just to name a few.  

Fodder Group currently recommends that you commence your horse on 10lbs per day. This can replace some of the existing diet of grain or hay. This can be increased to as much as 80% of the horses diet over time. 

After 14 years of trial and error, we recommend barley as the best for feeding livestock. We have also had success with certain varieties of wheat and good results can be achieved by blending both.

The generally accepted standard is 2% - 3% of their body weight per day.  Fodder Group will work with you to develop feeding programs to suit your individual requirements.

The system size depends on the animals you are feeding and the herd size.

Generally, it takes 4 days on the trays to grow from seed to beautiful fresh fodder.

Rain water, dam water and well water are suitable to use. Fodder Group systems can use any type of water provided it is clean or filtered. We can also supply filters and water treatment devices if it is necessary.

In North America 220v with 50amps is required.   

Grain is placed onto the trays using a seeding tool and after 4 days, your system is ready for daily harvest. The Fodder Group hydroponic system does all the work for you. We provide full training and ongoing back up to ensure that you grow the best possible fodder year round.
