    Interesting, I grow it for my chickens. I have learned that if it's slimy wash the roots off they don't like slimy. I only do three days before I feed the chickens, they like the seeds more than the grass. If I had a horse, I would grow the fodder for the 7 days and cut the greens off for the horse and give the seeds and roots to the chickens/birds. Horses teeth are not able to cut the tops off from the roots and I have never seen horses eat root... Good informative video.

      @@LelandWolf-zt4wz I do both, the nutritional value is different. Once the sprouts start to turn green, it's no longer just a grain. Price, happy healthy chickens and happy me! Priceless.

      I sprout wheat, brocolli and alfalfa seeds in the late fall and thru the winter. My chickens LOVE them.
      3 days sprouting with me too.

    My wise old neighbor once said the best place to get grass seed is at the foot of a hay elevator. The dust/chaff that falls to the bottom of the elevator is also rich in seeds dropped from the hay. This "seed mix" could be sprinkled over the soil/substrate to grow a nice piece of pasture, fodder, or sod.

    Thank you, sir! I think I'll start growing some myself at home & take it to the farm when done, because there the infrastructure is not complete yet. But so far, so good. Thank you again !

    A couple drops of bleach in your water will keep it mold out. Yours looked great!!! My grown hens loved it… all that was left was small root balls.

    • @ozarkshomesteadandfarm
      @ozarkshomesteadandfarm  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I would ask where you are or the temperature outside. Germination does not require light but temp is important. To cold and to hot impedes the process.

    Does anyone ever use compost tea when they water?
    Since plant roots are designed to pull nutrients and minerals from deeper in the ground , why not use compost tea to increase the nutritional value of the fodder?

    Hi, thanks for sharing your video! Do you happen to know if chicken can eat Guar Gum or Pearl-millet ? Since you mentioned they can eat Sorghum, I wonder if the animals can also eat the other stuff I just mentioned.

    • @ozarkshomesteadandfarm
      @ozarkshomesteadandfarm  ปีที่แล้ว

      Most likely, it’s ok to feed at any stage, chickens might like it more spouty and goats might like it more grassy!

      The whole grains are definitely seasonal…….I got mine at Hirsch but any feed store should have grains……just make sure they are whole not cracked….just call in and ask what whole grains they have…..usually wheat is always available.

    • @lavenderlilacproductions

      Any old pasture grass seed will work. Nixa Hardware Fast Pasture is a reasonable mix.

      Any feed store tractor supply. We have cal ranch stores. If you have feed mills in your area or local farms that grow grain. It's nothing special barley or where works the same. Barley I'm my area is generally 1.00 less per 50 pound bag.

    I cant see how it would be cost effective for all the work, a better study might have been measure in weight before, then how much after 10 days then figure what the ten days and wheat cost and get a per pound cost then check what it costs to just buy prepared feed and see the difference in costs for the time and money spent.. I think your definition of fodder is not 100% right. when we were growing up we grew especially for livestock a variety of things mainly corn let it grow out till it was completely dried out sometimes we let it go over the winter and get frozen and in the spring combine it through a shredder stocks and all and bunker silo it for cattle and horses.. What you re doing is making sprouts and then feeding it which is not as thrifty a way to do it because of the labour. Just making an observation dont get offended please

      @TiredMommy-kt2nc 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I think the appeal is to have fresh greens for the birds during the winter. You bring up a good point about cost. There is a cost to his time and should be added to cost of fodder
