I swear RUclips will turn me into a farmer
YES
I HAVE ALREADY TURNED INTO FARMER
Don't let fear stop you :-)
I am a RUclips watchers turned in to Farmer Now ☺️☺️☺️☺️
Me too! :)
I swear RUclips going to go make me buy cows and start a diary business.
emmanuelp023 RUclips is going to make you go broke
I’d be interested in seeing how you can make a cow produce a diary. On the other hand dairy might be an option.
Dear Diary,
Moo.
Dear diary, the dairy broke me.
emmanuelp023 not the best idea right now!
I’m not even a farmer and I want to do this
Mee too

You tube make me livestock farmer 👩🌾
I keep watching this because I like to see cows enjoy the meal they're eating.
This gotta be better than just feeding cows corn. I bet the animals have a much better quality of life as well! I love it 😍
You don't know how true your statement is. The nutrition from corn fed cattle is nothing short of horrible. Fodder Fed animals are exactly the opposite as the world will soon hear.
This looks much healthier and better compared to how usually animals eat in farm. No need to worry about antibiotics force feeding too.
Wendigo this isn’t “healthier” in the sense that it is more nutrients. It’s like giving your cattle celery. It’s 90% water with very little nutrient matter. It’s better to just give the cows the actual barley gain then the sprouts
We did a video on a product similar to this in Canterbury New Zealand using barley as the sprouting grain. The farmer we talked to said that the beef animals did take a few days to get used to it but really loved it after a few days. The system is easy to use, requires little manual input and one of the biggest advantages (not mentioned) is water saving, imagine how much water would go into irrigation of 1000kg plus of grass per day. We shot some great footage of the animals running for there feed and devouring this like there was no tomorrow. Great system and so glad to see businesses like this exporting these products to the world. Keep on innovating!
Thank you for the lovely comments. Have a great day.
This is a great idea for those drought countries. I hope it's is affordable.
not gonna lie, that thing looks crisp and delicious
Right now i just have 1 cow and several goats... Hope in the next 5years i can use fodder solutions...

This is what nature designed cows to eat NOT grains and corn! This means a healthier and happier cow with a proper omega 3-6 fat profile which is coming into demand more and more!
Good on ya mates! Much success to ya!
Raze Havoc you are 100% spot on sir.
Look at how healthy and happy those cows are
This makes perfect sense. To be successful, one needs to control the supply of feed as well.
Damn. Look at them go to town on that. It looks delicious even to me.
It's a great initiative to help livestock farmers around the world! Droughts, floods, snow, heavy rain or any sudden disasters can't stop farmers to fed their animals! Thanks for this great innovation.

RUclips recommendations got me again. Now to find some livestock.
Great idea.
We do this here in Afghanistan but for our own.we cook it and it is very delicious and as said nutritious.
Well done guys, keep doing this and you'll be extremely healthy. Best of luck.
Those cows look so happy 😊
I am guessing that your system is tuned for Barley but I can just imagine adding clover, corn, soy, hemp... all kinds of good stuff to that sprouting mix to round out their diet some more there as well.
I just sold my cows and got out of it but wow, I would say that you are really onto something here! Keep up the good work
Thank you Tom for your kind words.
The germinatin period for each kind of seed is different so mixing them together may not be a good idea. But you can do it separateşy.

Question: Are barley sprouts more nutritious than paddy sprouts for cattle feeding? The reason for this question is that we don't grow barley but only rice paddy
u could use corn seed also
This system is infinitely healthier than feeding cows gmo corn and soy this is great.
You obviously don't realize all barley is a gmo crop as well do you.
It's hard to believe that there people out there that dumb to write something like this when a simple google search dispels disbelief. Barley is not a GMO crop as you put it.
that is really cool! you've got it so streamlined! I'm definitely doing this for my goats, sheep, and chickens!
Thank you for showing us and I do this for my poultry as well in Cambodia but not modern as in this video just very simple.
Well done, you are 100% on the right track and please don't give up.
No more dead rats in hay or dropping in the feed great idea

@@FodderGroup Thank you! You wouldn't happen to have smaller units would you? I saw a 16 tray but was wondering if you might have a 10?
We are releasing a mobile trailer this week, produces 525lbs per day.
Fodder Group Inc what’s the cost? Are you in USA? Have you fed any horses are they feeding fodder to Australian race horses?
@@FodderGroup That would work. That should be plenty for the future.
As a dairy farmer couple of questions one do you have studies showing how beef graded out on fodder as opposed to traditional methods of feeding/grazing? Two on the dairy side what about milk quality/quantity? As well the effects on reproduction breeding back is a very important aspect of the economics of beef/dairy hence the reason farmers went to a TMR ration controlling mineral protein and energy in the animal diets. Now granted you can free choice mineral and I'm sure you could grow alfalfa, brome etc if need be but not on the same mat which is more time consuming to feed separate mats as well as more difficult to balance a ration. I am definitely not bashing the system I see the good in it but these are questions you need to be able to answer in order to claim its both sustainable and more economical for livestock operations. Guys running 100 plus head of cattle especially dairy guys are very very critical of feed rations if you can not provide hard evidence that milk production, components, fertility, liver function etc will not be compromised and production cost will be cheaper then you are going to have a hard time in this space. Once again love the idea and would love to see some data on how it actually can sustain my herd and be more profitable but need some numbers other 90 percent digestible bc that doesn't equate to performance necessarily.
All excellent questions - please email chris@foddergroup.com for a more comprehensive answer. We have some very interesting information especially on the beef cattle nutritional side of things.

Fodder Group Inc thank you 🙏🏾 🤗
Fantastic, would look into this system in the near future for our cattle’s.
The cows look like they're enjoying it.
They and all other grass eating animals absolutely love it.
@@FodderGroup I've seen videos of cows eating regular feed and they look like they don't really like it but they're just eating it because that's all they have. If I had a cow I would want it to enjoy what it's eating it's not fair that I only enjoy the food I eat. Like with my cats, I make sure that they enjoy the food that I give them.
@@lunarcorpse you could not be more correct. Cattle are designed to eat grass and by feeding grain and dried grass etc, it take effort to digest. This is why the cows and other animals literally come running for fresh fodder - they know what is best for them.
@@FodderGroup Can you feed your cow just with this? Or do you also need corn silage and other products?

Daaaaamn, this is the most beautifull video i saw during all year !
I was working on a system like this back in the 1980's. The idea is the same but we had a little different type of setup. We had to watch our temperature and humidity. One person got greedy and on a weekend came into the office and stole all the documents and was not heard from again. It would be nice to think that this setup is an out growth of what I was working on back then.
Who was the person that did this?
You can tell the livestock enjoy eating this. Wondering how much of an investment is needed. Also would I be able to to use this with alfalfa and barley, or just barley?
George Reigle our systems start at $25,000 for a mobile trailer and go up from there. Barley and wheat are the preferred grains.
@@FodderGroup Thanks for the information.
You're very welcome
Can this be :
1.replicated in a greenhouse to avoid the high electricity bill due to the artificial lighting or alternatively be powered by solar?
2. Hooked up to an aquaponic system
Yes can be hooked up to solar however the power draw is low, LED lights are not big consumers of electricity.
This is so amazing. Nutritious for both plants and cows

I want to know the nutritional value of chickpea, pigeon pea and soybean fodder using hydroponics system. If you do the research please answer me 🤗
Nice information... Keep uploading... Thanks... From Hindustan
I've researched this quite a bit a while ago, and all studies found that the weight ratio of the sprouted barley vs the seeds makes no difference in nutritional content. It becomes more dilute with volume increase.
The aninals do like it though. It does also provide moisture and roughage. Perhaps animals absorb more efficiently.
The main benefit for this system is drought resilience, but then again you could also just feed to grains to the animals.
Jason I don’t think anyone sensible would think the weight ratio would have any correlation to nutritional value. Nutrition certainly does not dilute over the 4 days we grow it, in fact it is harvested at very close to its nutritional peak.
It does however have a direct correlation to the financial viability of growing feed this way.
The main benefit is nutrition and digestibility and cost and health benefits and anti inflammatory properties and feed efficiency and I could go on.
Seems like a great idea. Something someone could build themselves for a smaller operation.
Absolutely you could
I swear RUclips turns me into a farmer while I’m an oilfield operator 😅
Less drilling, more farming!
Based on my research, cattle requires 2-3% dry matter based on their weights and barley sprout as we know contains a lot of water and less dry matter, so how much barley sprout is needed to feed 500kg cow if we used 2-3% method?
Thanks !!!
How many cattle have you personally fed to come up with these numbers or did you just read that somewhere?
My god this is the future holy shit

So many people here saying you can't raise pigs like this. Of course you can, regardless of breed. I raise pasture pork on no grain at all by feeding them hydroponic sprouts instead.
Young sprouts are more nutrient dense than dry grain because the sprouting process activates the amylase enzyme in the seeds which makes less digestible nutrients more readily available. Pigs can't digest cellulose in mature grass just like humans can't do so, but if you feel a week-old grass sprout compared to mature grass, I'm guessing you'll realize the difference. Further, sprouted grass from feed grains and legumes is very different from what you'd find in your lawn or even a typical pasture.
Anywho, unless you're a pig farmer, sit down and shut up.
Grace Horsley Hi Grace. Many people don't know that fodder fed pigs have won many taste testing competitions in the USA. Further, the nutrition of the pork is off the charts. Love to discuss this with you, our email is sales@foddergroup.com if you'd like to get in touch.

I am wanting to make a fodder system for my own livestock.
It will be Good technology to survive in unfavorable places like drought, deserts, rocky mountains, high mountains where it's hard to grow grass.
We would certainly like to think so Kiran, thank you for stopping by and commenting. Have a great day.
Thank very much Fodder group for your excellent innovation, I value and appreciate your work. I have a question, my question is it safe to produce the sprouts for human consumption using your system or we should only stick to animal feeding when we purchase the system?
Excellent question. You most certainly can grow for human consumption with this system. Fresh barley or wheatgrass is much sort after and highly nutritious for humans.
This product just solve the issue of fresh and green food for animals. But still the problem of food security remain. Where Barely seeds must be framed and harvested??

Everyone: we need a sustainable way of growing food for cows!
Fodder: let us introduce ourself
Nice to meet you
Hi..Mark you are good working for these innocent animals...keep it up..👍
Fantastic new methods of feed are going to feed the World!
Correct Buzz, you're all over it.
Can you use just wheat seed? And do you need to be feeding anything else with their diet? And how many POUNDS of seed per day per pound of animal would it take? We grow alot of wheat but theres no barley around here.
Those are my questions too. As an animal scientist we have learnt to formulate a complex ration to meet the nutr reqs for cattle and I’ve never seen a diet consisting of only one ingredient. But, I’d have to do some research before completely negating it
As far as I know, You can use them but Barley is best for its capacity to grow in less time and to have more nutritious value.
Second, you should not use fodder only, it is protein supplement to the diet. And for cows, sheep and goats should be used 30% HF to 70% of hay, silage etc. For pigs should be used in 50-50 ratio, but for one kg of commercial food goes two kg-s of HF
You can use wheat but it will take you almost twice as long. I feed fodder to my pigs, dairy cow, and horses. They do very well on it, but inorder to grow it fast enough i have to use barely. Wheat takes 12+ days while barely takes between 4 to 8 days.
Brilliant. Carbon Taxes should go into systems like this not towards drugs and hooker parties for the EU politicians one world govt.

like you!
These systems are not carbon negative. Baby plants have an extremely low photosynthetic efficiency. The vast majority of the energy in the plant comes from starch stored in the barley seeds.
Abolish carbon taxes.
Hi mark
Please advise if this system is adaptable to different types of grain etc corn seeds
fine chuma What we have found is that you get the best results from barley and some varieties of wheat. Other grains tend to be too slow and if you wanted to introduce them I’d mix them with barley most likely
How are the internal temperatures on these units in hot climates? Also do the nutrient reservoirs have refrigeration systems or are they insulated another way? In the west coast of the US were dealing with air temps that can exceed 120F (49c) can these units handle the outside airtemps and sun.
Gary Grinkevich excellent question Gary. The systems are designed for extremes like Saudi Arabia right through to Canada. We have systems in Florida and even Barbados which sit outside with no issues. We also have systems in Wisconsin that perform great even in the middle of winter.
The video says it's drought proof. Except for the barley? I guess it would depend a lot on barley prices. I was watching a Pennsylvania farmer feed corn stalks to his cows and they loved it. Since cows will eat a variety of food sources, is this the best option? Would a simple grass seed do the same thing? This looks like a good system.

Barley or wheat work best, even a combination of both for milking cows is best.
We are planning on changing our beef cows to fodder, you said "we need 40-45 lbs per cow along with 3-4 lbs of hay or dry matter to get a 2.2lbs to 3.3lbs per day weight gain". Do you know what would be the equivalent in traditional feeding? So we can make our calculations before proceeding. Thanks a lot!
