Sprouts for Chickens. For a larger flock, you can sprout grain in a five gallon bucket. On our commercial wheat farm, we often had spilled grain around the base of our wheat augers. This is often mixed with dirt or stones, so it is not able to be sold, but it can be put into a bucket, the bucket filled with water and set aside for a few days. The grains will get a short sprout, and when you throw it out into the chicken run, they flock to it. They love the grains with the short sprouts, and the dirt or stones in it do not matter at all.

We used to do this for a small cattle herd. We don't own a lot of land. Our biggest problem was making SURE the trays got clean. I washed them with HOT soapy water. Mildew can ruin the crop and make cattle sick. We quit when we started fall sowing rye for a spring crop. After we make the ryelege we plant a second crop like beans. On a funny note we had to rip our fodder into smaller chunks as the cows would happily toss it in the air and sometimes it would land on the roof. Another plus was the health of the animals and we often found they were ready for market 5-7 days earlier. If you have the laborers it's a great idea.

Yeah have you ever seen what a pig does to the ground? This is making it easy for them ha! This isnt an end all as far as raising a pig though. You still need fruits and nuts and root veggies to make them tasty otherwise there will be a dirty swiney funk to the meat if its only grass. Same with cornfed pork. Youve got to give them alot of goodies for the reward.

Another good benefit of sprouting the grain is that the animals can get much better nutrients from them than they can from unsprouted grains. Good job making the switch to sprouted grains.

There are six to seven slots. Through automation each is watered every day with the most complete on the far end. No light is necessary to sprout to this point. Everything the seed needs to get 6 inches tall is there, and you save 80% on feed. -That's the biggest benefit. Waay cheaper than hay, and better for them.

Humidity above 70% invites molds. I guess these systems have connected dehumidifiers to keep humidity stable. You can pre-soak the seeds with food grade hydrogen peroxide / vinegar for 5-10mins before actual soaking too. Hope this helps.

Is it more economical to feed them fodder instead of grain seed itself? I read somewhere that fodder actually has less protein content than its seed but it's 80% digestible compared to only 20% digestible in seed form. Also I know that fodder contains some vitamins which the seed lacks. I just wonder if you find that feeding animals fodder actually saves you money in comparison to just feeding them grains. Thanks.
