Green fodder growing systems are very efficient systems to produce high quality green fodder economically.
A green fodder system comprises a set of growing trays mounted on racks. The growing trays can be removed from the racks if so required. The growing trays are stacked one above the other in the racks. The vertical spacing between trays can be altered from time to time to accommodate fodder of varying heights. The overall height of the rack is purely dependent on the grower's requirement and wish.
The growing trays are filled with growing medium - coco peat is the most favoured growing medium for green fodder. Normal soil may also be used.
High quality planting material or seeds are planted in the growing medium. The trays are watered with nutrients. The environment is controlled by humidifiers and fans.
When the green fodder reaches a suitable height it is harvested by cutting. It is common practice to grow three or four harvests from a single plant.
Green fodder is essential for dairies and livestock rearing. Animals fed with green fodder are healthier than animals with a poor dry fodder dietary regimen. Green fodder helps to increase the milk yield of milch cattle. Green fodder helps to enhance the quality of the milk yield of milch cattle.
