Hydroponics fodder less hoof warts, less manure, increased milk production and better early growth.

                                                         

6-8 day old fresh green grass sprout fodder is a very nutritious and economical feed for all grazing animals including horses, cattle, hogs, sheep, goats, rabbits, zebras, etc. for the following reasons:
• The tender young sprouts are very easy for all livestock, including sick or old livestock to eat.
• The hard shell surrounding most grain is gone
• The enzyme inhibitor present in all grains is gone
• Sprouts are at their height of nutritional value at this stage

                                        

Feeding barley fodder offers these benefits to livestock:
• Reduced occurrence of digestive diseases, such as colic and bloat
• Stimulated immune system
• Naturally balanced with essential nutrients
• High in fiber, energy and protein
• Rich in enzymes
• Low acid content
• Highly digestible

The benefits of sprouting apply to all grains, not just wheat. As with any new feed, we recommend starting off slowly and gradually increasing the amount fed as the livestock become accustomed to it.
The enzyme inhibitor present in all grains is removed during the sprouting process which removes it as a negative influence during the digestive process, eliminating it from its original purposes:
• protect the enzyme from being contaminated before sprouting
• to ensure that some of the grain survives the livestock’s digestive system to fall to ground and grow in a different location.

Fresh fodder sprouts are more digestible than hay and the nutrients are more readily available. Two pounds of grain at 30% digestibility become 14 pounds of sprouts at 80% digestibility.
While sprout fodder is very good for all livestock, it is an especially good feed source for rescued or elderly horses or other livestock.

Sprouted Grain: Benefits
Sprouted grain differs from whole grain in three fundamental aspects:
1) sprouting activates food enzymes;
2) sprouting increases vitamin content, and
3) sprouting neutralizes antinutrients like phytic acid which bind up minerals preventing your ability to fully absorb them. When examining the nutrient density of sprouted wheat to unsprouted wheat on a calorie-per-calorie basis, you’ll find that sprouted wheat contains 4 times the amount of niacin and nearly twice the amount of vitamin B6 and folate as unsprouted wheat; moreover, it contains more protein and fewer starches than non-sprouted grain and as a further boon, it is lower on the glycemic index making it more suitable for those suffering from blood sugar issues.
