Fodder at Two Branch Ranch

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ก.ย. 2024
- An overview of our fodder system, harvesting, planting, and feeding to our animals. This is the Mini Fodder Pro system from FarmTek. We plant barley seed with some black oil sunflower seed and grow for 7 days.
We have our system in our basement where it's easily temperature controlled and we have access to water. It's also a walk-out basement so it makes it easy to get the fodder out the pastures.

Really nice system . Great for growers that would struggle lifting trays and nice and easy to clean. great job!
I believe this method is cheaper and much more healthier for the animals than buying hay and feed every day!
It’s like they are saying hmmm this is good stuff, I’ll have some more 😋
Really liked the video! Thinking about implementing a much smaller system for my chickens to increase the food to dollar ratio. Cheers!
Wow what a great informative video. Thank you from bucks pa
KMDSA yes you can store wheatgrass as fermented by using bokashi and treat them as a kitchen waste using double bucket one with holes make layers spread the bokashi then press
great video, thanks for sharing
Good job, congratulations
Hello! Your system is very, very good. Can you show how the water is fed to the tray?Why didn't you choose watering with nozzles? Can you find the part where the hose connects to the trays? Tray sizes?
myself, no rinse, I use apple cider vinegar in my soak water and just drain it off and deposit seeds in trays..no mold or fungus
Hi, beautiful video thanks for uploading. I have a question is fodder only enough for cows/goats and sheep? Or other things need to be added aswell
I think if you put partition at the size of your cutting, you will save time for it.
where do you get trays like those? That looks much better than the small trays.
FarmTek
@@SueSchalk thanks
where do i find the trays...thank you for sharing knowledge with all of us.
I like your long tray system but cutting the fodder with knife seems time consuming, have you thought about a hedge trimmer (manual) to cut it faster.....I know, I know..not everyone is interested in speed....
very good thank you. do you ad any fertilizer to water to get more protein in grass?
Hello, are you still feeding with hydroponic plants? Or is there a better way to feed?
Awesome.
That really looked like more than 6-8 oz of sunflower seeds.
how did you make these pvc trays, can you guide how to fabricate to hold water
Good fooder
correct me if i m wrong.......u guys put 4 pounds of barley per tray and get 54 pounds of fodder?
Yes. Amazing, isn't it? Most of it is water and fiber with a bunch of vitamins.
Wait, isn’t it 8lbs barley seed, and 6 to 8 oz of sunflower seeds per tray to get 54lbs of fodder?
@@heartstonecampground1081 Yep.
Great system. What kind of bags are you using to soak the seed? Thanks
were is the root getting the vitamins from if not in soil to pick it from. the lady that did the testing on wheat grass, tested wheat that was in the ground all season.i also do sprouts and never had this question answered. a plant pulls vitamins from the ground and soil to grow, if its being down on no soil then how does it get vitamins
cbzombiequeen58 The seed contains everything it needs to grow. Once the seed is soaked it is no longer dormant and grows quite well, as you can see in the video, for 7 days before we feed it. We have grown hydroponic lettuce and since that does take much longer to mature, nutrients are needed. But for the short growth cycle of the barley grass, nothing but water and some light to green it up is needed.
Masha'Allah
What type of barley does the farmer grow? I've heard "recleaned barley" is what you want for fodder. How do you know it isn't treated?
Why not just use a holding tank that will allow the well water to equalize to room temperature? Also seems like your layout makes it inefficient and labor intensive (lots of bending down and lifting heavy loads). I know it’s farming but making things easier when possible wouldn’t hurt
if u dont mind im interested in knowing the company/adress where u order and get the seeds from
Do you feed you animals hay as well? Also about how much fodder do you feed each in pounds? We want to get into fodder and have two cows, 5 goats and chickens, so we are trying to figure out how much fodder we would need each day, mainly during the winter months.
I am asking just what is the purpose to raise those animals, what did you obtain from those economic
Usually you use their fiber just like sheep. It's very soft and warm when spun and knitted!
Did you build this system or purchase it. I want to make a system but can’t find an affordable turn key system
Crop King has them
Is this all you feed your alpacas and about how much fodder per alpaca we also have alpacas thank you
we also feed hay. 2% of body weight for fodder.
I think I have bought the wrong grains. Barley whole, soybeans whole and oats. What do I do. Please help
Hey sue, quick question. What are your trays made of, the material and how much did it cost youll?
Thanks!
Kailash Sithambaram - check out farmtek.com
SUper, thanks for that!
Are you still using this system x update please , is it worth it ,good / bad
Hi, thanks for the presentation. My question is that do you use plain water or do you add some other nutrients for the fodder to grow well?
Plain water. It only grows for 7 days then we feed it so the seed has everything it needs, no additional nutrients are needed.
So, are you saying you buy those big 50 lb bags of black oil sunflower seeds at Tractor Supply..the kind you would put in the bird feeder? That would be a good one to start with.
Yes, we get the big bags of Black Oil Sunflower seeds from Tractor Supply. Once sprouted, the protein levels are pretty high so it's only something we use sparingly and mixed with other seed.
OKay, Thank you !
Thank you for this video. The farm that you buy the barley seed do they have a website where i can purchase them from? i am trying to see what is the least cost effective method for me to send bags of barley seed to Dominican Republic. So if they have a website then i can have them deliver it to NY and then ill take care of it from there. If they dont, do you mind letting me know how much you paid for one bag so i can get an idea. Thank you once again for all you help.
Wilfredo Olivo - No they don't have a website, it's just a huge farm. We purchase it by the ton and pricing depends on harvest - if they had good weather or not. Sorry, don't have a bag price. You might try www.agrivive.com/ for bulk exports of grain.
The humidity of the room, what should it be?
Hi how does your watering system work , does it just flow from the one end to the other in the trays?
Hei sue schalk.
Do you use any bleach or chlorine for barley seeds in water?
if you use what should be the percentage in water?
Nice system, my problem is I can’t find barley seed
Google it. "Where can I buy barley in city, state?"
Salnting of Trey nessesry or not in this method
What is the best water intervals? 4 times a day or 6 times a day?
is it possible to store wheatgrass like hay , and how ?
I don't think so but you don't have to store it as a grass. You can store the seeds and it only takes a week or so to get to that stage. Janice
hello 100 kilo cows per day how many kilo needs fodder feeding
You generally feed 2-4% of the animals body weight in fodder.
how come the track below has no grow light?
👍👍👍👍👍
what animals are eating your fodder? and do they eat the white roots as well or just the green grassy part.
They eat all. Roots are very nutritious.
Hello
I am from India how can watering & drenge access water
Where do you get your barley? where do you get your BOSS?
Where are you located that you have easy access to the barely seed? I am struggling to find a good source.
We are in South East Michigan and we get our barley straight from a farm in Owasso which is a few hours drive north of us. We prefer the fall barley over spring and reserve a couple ton each year. Then just go and get it when we need it.
Where do you buy barley and sunflower seeds?
Thank you.
We get our barley from a local farm that grows it. The sunflower seeds we get at Tractor Supply a local farm supply store.
what if u leave roots will it grow again ?without reseeding?
You would have to fertilize it with compost tea or the like. Seed nutrients are gone after 7 days.
Hei.sue schalk what is the temperature of green house should be?
you add me help ugur@agrimakin.com
What animal is shown in the end of this video ?
Those are our alpacas.
Alpacas
Hi, where do you buy the wheat seed?
واوو👍👍
you just feed it on fodder nothing else at the day ?
Fodder is generally fed at about 2% of body weight. Nutritionally that is about all they need, however they do require more roughage. So feed will hay or straw for bulk and roughage.
