Hydroponic cultivation is an innovative and sustainable method of growing plants without soil, using nutrient-rich water solutions. It offers several advantages, such as efficient water use, faster plant growth, and the ability to grow crops in urban or space-limited environments. However, it requires careful monitoring of nutrient levels, pH, and system maintenance to ensure optimal results. Despite the initial setup cost being relatively high, hydroponics is a promising solution for modern agriculture, especially in areas facing soil degradation or water scarcity.
I always thought that if these fodder companies wanted to actually sell more of these systems. They'd actually simply do ASMR fodder feeding videos mixed with a bit of hay or straw or something. few hundred of these munchie videos people would actually realize this exist. There's a lot more herbivore pets these days like guinea pigs and bunnies.
Am Esinath Matsilele from Zimbabwe in Harare. Southern Africa Would like to farm this type of grass. How are you? Your usual co-operation is greatly appreciated.
In indoor hydroponic fodder farming, **the total protein or nutrition content per seed does not increase significantly**. However, the **volume and digestibility** of the fodder improve considerably. Here's why: 1. **Volume Increase**: The sprouting process converts the stored energy in the seed into a larger biomass, mainly through the absorption of water and the growth of shoots and roots. This increases the weight and volume of the fodder. 2. **Protein and Nutrient Changes**: - **Protein Content**: The total protein content in the seed remains largely unchanged, but the protein's bioavailability (how easily animals can digest and utilize it) improves due to enzymatic changes during sprouting. - **Nutritional Changes**: While the total nutrient content is stable, some vitamins (like A, C, and B-complex) and enzymes increase during sprouting, enhancing the fodder's overall quality. 3. **Dilution Effect**: Since water makes up most of the weight gain, the protein and energy concentration per unit weight might appear lower compared to the original seed. ### Summary: Hydroponic fodder farming primarily increases the **volume, digestibility, and certain vitamins**, but the **total protein or core nutrition content per seed does not significantly increase**. Instead, it becomes more accessible and palatable for animals, leading to better feed efficiency.
Google fodder growing system. I was a bit surprised initially, but then found some cheaper systems. If you read the product descriptions, you may be able to find it cheaper somewhere else or assemble on your own. There is a video of a guy on Aftica, that has a very simple system. Metal trays, not plastic.
Why do you use such an scpensive light system. Once I produced grass even at home without directly sun light and it worked great. When you have windows which let the daylight in it is enough.
Plant type (some do better than others in a hydroponic environment), seed source, air flow, proper irrigation and regular cleaning, among other factors.
"Excellent video! I always come away learning something new. I’ve just posted my latest progress on my farm if anyone’s curious to see how it’s going!"
We get it from a seed distributor in Montana, USA, and all growing occurs in this container. One day in the hopper to clean the seeds and break their dormancy, 6 days in the trays.
Very interesting system. Which seeds are used here? Which seed weight/rack and yield weight/rack. Depending the results, will see for this system ordering.
There's a significant need among farmers and ranchers for a consistent, quality supply of nutritional supplements like fodder. And they have full control on site. You can also grow micro greens in this FarmBox.
Eu sou engenheiro agronomo pos graduado em producao animal em biotecnologia. Biologia molecular. Para crescimento de plantas em laboratório usamos lâmpada gro-lux 400 nanometros para fotossíntese. Importante saber que existem diferentes protocolos para indução a germinação de sementes. Trabalhei muitos anos em pesquisa básica desenvolvendo protocolos. Quanto maior afinidade de embriao e substrato semente dentro do protocolo maior velocidade na germinação. Basicamente depende de rotas metabólicas acionadas no protocolo. Rotas metabólicas de alta velocidade a germinação ocorre em menos de 7 horas por indução a germinação. Em menos e em 8 horas PIS germinada tem plantadas com 3 a 5 cm de altura. 1 gramínea pide crescer 1 metro em 24 horas em condições de alta velocidade em rota betabolica. É possível que nos próximos anos estes protocolos estejam disponíveis. Acredito que forragem hidroponica nos próximos anos será produzido em menos de 24 horas.
It's 30 square meters (320 square feet). Water usage is around 2,500 gallons (9,500 liters) per week, far less than what would be required for a traditional outdoor grow.
@@farmboxfoodsplease can you give the details about the containers sise hight, different equipment and scientific knowledge to grow this grass, also with cost including electricity, labour seed cost etc please
Especially for fodder, I don't think a nutrient solution is used at all. Just water. Some videos say rinse once, some twice.ost say let it sit sit a minimum of 4 hours in water to trigger growth.
I was wondering does it really makes the grain superior in terms of nutrition after all that long proces of turning grain seeds into sprouts? Or is it just the same? 😂
@@vaiyomerelohim You don't need to teach me the math as i don't really care about the added water weight 😂 what i was asking was whether it really adds more nutrient (protein, carbs, fat, fiber) by growing the grain into sprouts? If not then you are just wasting time and resources 😂

pH is around 6-7. We don't use any nutrients in our system, but you can use decomposer liquid if you want to.

We use a barley grain supplier in the U.S., but you can get it pretty much anywhere.
how you get that barley seed?, do you propagate it elsewhere?
We get it from a seed distributor in Montana, USA, and all growing occurs in this container. One day in the hopper to clean the seeds and break their dormancy, 6 days in the trays.
What would be set up cost?
is this the production rate capacity per day per single container?
Correct. 850 lbs. per day from one container.
Very interesting system. Which seeds are used here? Which seed weight/rack and yield weight/rack. Depending the results, will see for this system ordering.
We use 130 lbs. of barley seed in each rack to yield an avg. of 850 lbs. of sprouted fodder daily.
