Sky Fodder Hydroponic Fodder Growing System

Sky Fodder Hydroponic fodder growing system Green Way is a company that specializes in the design, development, manufacturing and marketing of hydroponics green growing systems customized to crops and animals. Green Way is happy to introduce Sky Fodder - an ultimate green fodder production unit Sky Fodder - is unique equipment grows SEED TO FEED in 9 DAYS. Sky Fodder Hydroponic fodder growing system Sky Fodder - is a micro greenhouse containing special growing trays stacked on shelves with hydrophobic system, under controlled environment. Grains such as alfalfa, barley, oats, wheat, maize and others are fed on a 6 10 day cycle. Grains develop roots and green shoots to form a dense mat and is ready as food. The Size and Cost of Sky Fodder - differs with the number of Lactating cows with 4-6 liters of lactation Method of preparation: Each cow needs 7 kg of fodder/day. 1 kg of seeds/tray should be sown. Each one kg of seed takes 9 days to grow an optimum level of 7 kg fodder. Hence each cow needs 10 trays to sow the seeds on round robin basis, for continuous supply of fodder every day. The tray should be sowed immediately after the fodder is taken off, so that the supply chain will be maintained. A training AV will guide the step by step production process of the Power Pul Fodder in detail. Sky Fodder empowers livestock owners to grow green feed year-round Sky Fodder Hydroponic fodder growing system Advantages of Sky Fodder - hydroponic technology and green grass Although hydroponic fodder production system has a history spanning over 50 years it is a relatively new fodder production technology in India. Sky Fodder - is complete growing system that entails the germination of seeds in nutrient rich solutions instead of soil to produce a grass and root combination that is very high in nutrition. Sky Fodder - is Economical and environmentally friendly technology and is preferable over the conventional methods of producing fodder. Sky Fodder - requires less water requirements to produce an equivalent amount of biomass. For example it takes 1 to 2 liters of water to produce one kilo of green grass compared to 80 90 liters to produce one kilo of fodder. This is a solution to the frequent droughts and the need for expensive irrigation systems. Sky Fodder - requires minimal land use compared to fodder grown on fields. Fodder grown on 9m x 6m plot can feed the same number of cattle that graze on 12 acres of pastures in the field. The lesser area required for fodder production would provide more area for food crops. Obviously this means economic use of land which is fast becoming scarce. Compared to ordinary cattle feed, this method of pasture production require far less space and the pasture produced has superior nutritive value. Small scale farmers have a lot to gain from this revolutionary technology, as they can instantaneously transform into large scale producers on their small parcels of land. Sky Fodder - A very short growth time is required. Although an 8 day growing cycle is recommended, it takes as little as 7 days from germination time to a fully grown plant at a height of 25 30cm ready for harvest. Studies estimate the cost of improving the lactation of an animal using hydroponic fodder at 4 to 8 times less compared to using grain over a 90 120 day period. Sky Fodder - is very cost effective For every one Kg of seed, 7 10 kgs of edible fodder is produced. To grow the same amount of fodder in the field will require a minimum of 12 weeks. Costs around Rs.7/ kg for green grass sky fodder. Sky Fodder - requires less labor. As little as one hour per day is required to maintain and produce sky fodder. It is extremely cost effective and financially viable. Sky Fodder - Constant supply of high quality fodder is guaranteed. There is no need for expensive fodder storage facilities because of constant availability of fresh green fodder. Sky Fodder Hydroponic fodder growing system Unlike hay and silage which loses their nutritive value over time, the quality of Sky fodder is always guaranteed. Farmers therefore know exactly the amount to feed and the amount of yield to expect. This makes planning very easy. Sky Fodder - produces the green grass with very high nutritive value The protein content is high and is very rich in vitamins such as B-carotene, trace elements and enzymes. It is 90 95% digestible compared to grains which at best are only 30%. The increase in digestibility results in an increase in the average daily weight gain, which is a big advantage to milk producers. Based on extensive research, the result produced show that one mat of fresh sprouted barley adequately replaces 3kg of concentrates in the diet of dairy cows. Sky fodder green grass also helps improve milk production and quality. Tests have indicated vast improvement in milk quantity (up to 10%) and butter fat content (14% higher). Farmers have reported a stimulated appetite when animals are fed on the diet. The research also shows that there is no detrimental effect in productivity of dairy cows in terms of milk production and body weight. Chances of diseases associated with feeds are reduced by 60 75%, because the sky fodder supply is disease free thus enhancing good agricultural practices. The green grass fodder feed is completely natural. The green grass fodder is produced without the use of any hormones, chemicals fertilizers or synthetic growth stimulants. There are no fungicides or pesticides used that could contaminate milk.
