Growing Fodder in an Indoor Hydroponic Farm

In a few easy steps, farmers and ranchers can grow their own barley fodder - around 850 pounds per day - using a Hydroponic Fodder Farm made by FarmBox Foods.

[@lesliegrayson1722]

you make me so hopeful :D we have 7 years of drought on the way in Australia.. maybe more. This is a nice way to keep growing and to ignore the heat..

[@caravanlifenz]

In New Zealand it feels like we have too much rain and too many floods. We should sell our rain to Australia.

I daydream about this stuff, thank you for bringing it to reality!

Excellent video and channel thanks 🙏🏻 do you know if this grass could be used for a putting green !

[@abramswee]

In asia, we eat bean sprouts from mung beans and they sell for SGD$6.60/kg. So if that self container can produce 386kg daily, it should bring in about $2,550/per harvest. Especially in land scarce place like Singapore, this will be a good strategy.

[@SERG__ZV]

We also have this microgreens for sale in Russia. but 1) No one buys it 2) Keep in mind that as long as the product reaches the buyer from the manufacturer, its price will increase by 100 times...

[@AfajKazi]

very nice short video.

[@KG6AFF]

FANTASTIC !!!

[@MistressOP]

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.

[@debrobertson-positivedirec5898]

In Africa, they feed it to duck's, chickens too.

We've never tried, but it's possible. You might use a different grain than barley though.

[@farmboxfoods]

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.

[@rndmcnflct]

Have you looked at the caloric content of a tray of fodder vs a tray of unsprouted grain?

[@bloominghealthfarms]

Yes. There is a significantly better nutritional profile of fodder versus raw grain.

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.

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.

[@eylemafnas7849]

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.

[@imoyiddin444]

Hello guys how are u doing have u got any tutorial videos for learning ???

[@farmboxfoods]

We provide full online and in-person training on all container farms. We're starting on building tutorial videos for our customers.

[@fortunetaroe7062]

Could you please recommend me on how to get the seed or do you have other land for prepare the seed

[@farmboxfoods]

We use a barley grain supplier in the U.S., but you can get it pretty much anywhere.

[@wahyuadipratama3011]

how you get that barley seed?, do you propagate it elsewhere?

[@farmboxfoods]

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.

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? 😂

[@amoschinoz]

From 1kg of barley grain you get 7-8kg of fodder. You can do the maths

[@Fhaisal_yahya212]

@@amoschinoz 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 😂

How much fodder grass in kg per cattle per day?

[@farmboxfoods]

That all depends on where the cattle is in its life cycle and what the farmer/rancher's goals are. We provide a nutritional analysis to customers who purchase a fodder farm so they can make an informed decision.

[@godzillal123321]

can we grow wheat grass like this ?

[@farmboxfoods]

Absolutely. You can use any cereal grain. We use barley grain because of it's quick grow cycle and concentration of nutrients.

@@farmboxfoods i have a similar flood tray system but never thought to use it in the way the video showed. My flood tray system can currently grow 96 trays (10’x20’)of wheat grass per rack/block every harvest . I have 12 vertically stacked flood trays in my garage And wish to bring this business to the next step I enjoy growing varieties but the original plan was to only grow wheat grass .

What about the nutrient solution residue? Wouldn't it give food poison to animals?

[@debrobertson-positivedirec5898]

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 am sure that all tastes good to a herbivore, but how nutritious is it? What is the hydroponic water? There is only so much protein and micronutrients in a seed. If you feed just that to a cow, I think you would be starving it slowly. Without all the nutrients that are found in full grown field grasses, you would just be feeding a cow a tasty snack, all the while, depleting it of minerals and vitamins a plant would get from the ground and natural sunlight. I think your farm animals would get sick if that is all they ate.

[@spinachtriangle]

All that efficiency then lost to the inefficiency of converting calories through a ruminant being. It's like a fat unhealthy person taking statins and not changing their lifestyle.
