- Marcel Moise grows barley sprouts as a superfood for his beef cattle year round in a greenhouse. The cattle provide the warm, carbon dioxide and methane to grow vigorous sprouts, and the sprouts are a nutrient rich (better than grain, better than hay) food for the cattle.
If you have questions about the system, you can email Marcel Moise's daughter:
lindsay.moise@gmail.com.
in a time where going green is needed more than ever before, this method of farming calls for serious consideration
i was at this guys farm as a kid! my family and friends went there to learn from him as we were doing this on an organic dairy farm. he had a barrel full of hashish oil/resin in the barn lol
Grimm Reapo hehehehe
@molinobeer The water contians nutrients that are found naturally in the soil. It boots the growth aswell as the vitamin-mineral content of the feed.
I would love to get a copy of that book!
The cows look very happy
Video is fantastic. Very educational. Is there more that can be shared in the way of information that may be adapted to other farms? I have watched the video at least 12 times.
very creative and well done. I want to do something similar with Hogs.
I posted this video for Marcel b/c I thought it interesting. Compared to other grains, barley seed is cheap and has low nutritional requirements, but Marcel's system is not organic. He does use soluble fertilizers. However, with a bit of research you could probably do this with compost teas. There is another farmer in Ontario who has purchased a feeding system the same in principle but mechanically driven - expensive but much less labour.
and the pendelton is a huge help as well
excelent video , can you provide more info on how i can get started? how much is the barley cost per 100 lbs? is it profitable? i need help , thanks
Look, the cows really love it!
I guess I'm pretty randomly asking but do anyone know a good site to watch newly released movies online ?
@Keanu Toby i watch on flixzone. Just google for it :)
@Keanu Toby i watch on flixzone. You can find it on google =)
He looks like an older mel gibson in lethal weapon 1
hi there crindy, video looks great need to ask a few questions (like everyone else) on the 'fertigation system' or fertilizer irrigation it would seem that you are using water soluble fertilizers can i ask what doseage rates you are using and what fertilizer mix you are using?
there is no green pasture in the winter , its covered by snow ! Plus this is veal, its very soft meat. he can produce meat in the winter. And the cows keep the rest of his green house warm.
Awesome
Hi, maybe its possible to integrate such a System in a Aquaponic circle.
Worth trying :)
not everyone in the world has access to green pastures, and like astrialkil said winter comes and covers the grass for some countries. also this type of farming method requires much less land, making it affordable to people who only dream of owning many acres of farmland. It greatly decreases the carbon foot print left behind. Lastly, the land could be used for growing crops instead.
Essentially nothing, except that green pastures are not green in the winter, or during droughts. This would allow a small producer with limited land to provide fresh, green feed year round, rather than have dry hay or grain trucked in from who knows where.
The videos say flooded with nutrients. It does not say where they come from. He could be using compost tea as the nutrients. Without more information I could not say much but nutrients does not need to be in the form of chemicals.
Potatoes are a resonable source of potasium. Any green leaf composted would be source of nitrogen.
with all that water on the floor they should think about having it all go to a aquaponics plant fish system which will recycle the water to a cleaner state while growing fish and plants.
i love it
Yes you can do this aqua-ponically as well. I have just been researching this lately since I got my chicks. With all the rain :(it has destroyed the greens I was going to give them and now I do not trust anything cause of the chemtrailing. We need to come up with alternative methods. I have just started my sprouts and will be able to put them in a tray probably tomorrow. Then I will start some more. You can build a fodder stand. I have a tub I do not use. :)(anywhere you can get wet w/no damage)
@sizemorej Its hydroponic fertilizers
I haven't been able to find his book online- does anyone have any links to a place to pick it up?
I'm thinking about buying this system but one thing that seriously gets me concerned is the chemicals put in the irrigation water, I have heard that they can be harmful. Can this be done with just water?
It is done without any fertiliser or chemicals etc. Soak any seed in water for 24 hrs, drain water, keep the seeds moist and covered with cotton cloth for 48 hours, the seeds will sprout. Spread sprouted seeds over racks with holes on the bottom of trays where the seeds have been spread, for drainage of excess water and prevent build up of mold, fungicide etc. Water twice a day during winters and 3rice in hot summers. In 6 - 7 days seeds will grow up to 6 inches height. Serve mature cows 8-10 kgs per day. 40% of the total feed. It contains good protein, minerals, vitamins and enzymes, good energy. Don't buy his book. Experimenting following these guidelines will teach you more than any expert.
@Lincifer
I need more information on barley sprouts for foder.
@KingRyltar so true. big problems with that!
@robflt im sorry I dont know the answer to that question. Im his daughter, and I dont study agriculture so im not aware of the 'rules'.
And where is he now?
ok thanks i understand now :)
I just paid $30 for a 100 pound bag of organic barley that we want to attempt to sprout for horses. Is there somewhere that I could buy it considerably cheaper? I live in Nevada but bought the barley in Ohio in Amish country.
Did his book ever get released?
Your comment is very vague; how is grazing in the field better?
@TheRetiredtrucker if you are interested in learning more please contact me and I can give you the information you need. thanks!
To those who has tried or those with experience on using the Barley and wheat sprouted chicken fodder also the same for the sheeps and Buffalo
No one talk about in all the youtube video
what do we need to add beside the green fodder , why no one explain , does anyone know?
I heard many different replies from friends who are not users ,
Your opinion - all of you?
Thank you all
@cavies12345 the trays are actually hand-made.
if any of you would like more information please send me a private message and i will be happy to provide you will contact information
Where can i buy the trays from?
how to give pottasium and nytrojen
SUPER GOOD. SUPER SAFE.
Do you ever let those cows roam outside in the land? Do those cows ever see the time of day outside?
Hope this is done in Ukraine.
Wouldn't it be nice if it was also done in Ukraine~~~
could do it on aquaponics
How do I get the book?
Lincifer, I just sent a message to you. Want to get Marcel's book. . .
Thanks.
How do we "inbox" I cant find inbox or email on you page!?
and yummy pesticides (don't for get)
Ive tried pm her about info, no response. im interested in the book
Something I have noticed following these fodder systems is that some of the negative comments or comments that would draw readers to a negative concern are typed in the same verbiage. Same phrases- IE "I'm thinking about buying this system but one thing that seriously gets me concerned is the chemicals put in the irrigation water, I have heard that they can be harmful. Can this be done with just water?"
Just curious to note. I think there are folks down playing fodder by planting seeds of doubt and worry regarding a good product.

Hi, I don't know if I get your question on chemicals correctly but to state all plants need (Macro elements) to grow which the main elements are: Nitrogen, Potassium, Phosphorous, Magnesium, Calcium, Hydrogen (water), Oxygen, and carbon and others.. Some people with no knowledge on water chemistry think of them as chemicals but they are essential for anything to grow.
Hydroponic farmers usually make up the nutrient (chemical) solutions into correct ratios, chemicals such as NO2, Na+, H2PO4-, SO--, K+, are used because they are ionized and soluble in water. It is a completely natural method it happens in soil as well.
Chemicals such as antibiotics, hormones, herbicides, pesticides, detergents are the ones we must be cautious of. Especially hormones in our drinking water because it is so hard to detect and hormones dont break down like cattle hormones, HIV antiretrovirals and birthcontrol pills which is excreted in urine and lands in our drinking water.
So far as hydroponics are concerned, it is safe because its controlled.
Hope that answers your question..
please inbox me and I will send you the information you need, thanks
what difference is this than cattle that eat grass pastures? i dont understand
it's an alternative when there's no feed or little land... eg Winter, Drought
@gypsymama04 hi, my dad is old school and he doesn't use email, but if you are interested you can inbox message me and i will send you a mailing address or phone number to reach him
