For those that rely heavily on feed imports or where land resources are poor and desertified, hydroponic fodder systems provide a steady supply of feed to help keep the livestock industry running.

In areas with extreme climates, the hydroponic pasture is not subject to seasonal restrictions, and can stably produce a large amount of high-quality feed every day, avoiding livestock deaths due to insufficient forage supply.

For areas where pastures are poorly managed or overgrazed, hydroponic pasture fodder production provides a sustainable source of green fodder to help pastures recover and improve.

For peri-urban areas with small land areas, warehouse hydroponic pastures produce a large amount of green feed in a small space, providing high-quality forage and meeting consumer demand for high-quality livestock products.

Maybe an acre of land is only enough to graze 10 sheep at most, but a 30-square-meter fodder shipping container farm produces enough green fodder to meet the needs of at least 100 sheep per day.

Compared with traditional pasture feeding, the artificial hydroponic pasture of about 600 square meters can produce more than 10 tons of green feed every day, which can meet the feeding needs of at least 500 cattle and sheep.

No pesticides. Water resources are recycled. 7 days a growing cycle provides rich crude fiber and protein and improves the food utilization rate and feeding mood of livestock.

The hydroponic pasture fodder system is not limited by the weather and the site and provides a stable and continuous supply of fodder, which helps to maintain the stable development of the breeding industry.

Where can this pasture be built??

Hydroponic pasture is a kind of semi-indoor or indoor vertical farming, which can be constructed in any indoor environment with water source power supply, heat preservation and ventilation.

For example, warehouses, basements, office buildings, or simple houses, and shipping container farm fodder system that rely entirely on artificial light sources. There are also hydroponic greenhouses, hydroponic gardens, etc. that use LED grow lights as auxiliary light sources, etc., are also available.

Define your Hydroponic pasture goals

The goal of hydroponic pasture fodder production is to provide fresh, pollution-free green feed for livestock.
Then all equipment is to serve this sole result and purpose.
Let’s take a look, what equipment is generally included in a fully functional hydroponic pasture? And what are their functions?

  • Fodder Tray: Food-grade plastic, with good hydrophobic and ventilating holes, the size should not only meet the output but also not increase the labor burden.

  • Growing Frame: Rust protection, load-bearing, try to use a simple structure to reduce the resistance of air circulation.

  • Sprinkler Irrigation System: The most critical is not the equipment itself, but the irrigation time and interval.

  • LED Grow Lights: The light intensity of 6000~10000 lux per square meter is suitable for the growth of most microgreen plants.

  • Temp & Humidity Control: Important. With different spaces, climates, internal & external temp differences, and other comprehensive factors, the equipment varies greatly and needs flexible.

  • Internal & External Air Circulation: The wet curtain fan in the hydroponic greenhouse is a cost-effective air circulation system.

May also use: Chiller, nutrient solution system, water purifier, seawater desalination equipment, conveyor belt, seed washing machine, seeder, and other auxiliary or automation equipment.

The Top Things You Need to Know

Top 1: Soaking Seeds, Germination

This can increase the germination rate of grain and increase the total output of green fodder. At the same time, it can also reduce the probability of dead seeds and reduce the risk of mold caused by dead seeds.

During the soaking process, the bacteria and fungi remaining on the surface of the seeds can be killed by continuously injecting ozone, especially the hulled grains, such as barley.

pasture fodder production top things 2 - temp and humidity control

Top 2: Temp & Humidity Control

This is very important. If the temp low, it will not sprout, the humidity low, the growth will slow down. If the temp & humidity are higher, it will cause mold and other diseases.

In the early stage of germination, because the density of the sprouts is still relatively small, the respiration is not strong, so it is not easy to mold.
But after 4 to 5 days of growth, the density of the green fodder becomes larger and the gaps become smaller. At this time, the high temp, lack of oxygen, and humidity can easily cause the hydroponic pasture fodder to become moldy.

Top 3: Pre-Harvest Operations

The harvest period is the most prone to mold, and many hydroponic fodder farming beginner tend to be careless before harvest during the planting process. At this time, the time and interval of watering should be extended to further reduce the humidity.

Moreover, when harvesting, it is best to aired in the sun first, and then feed the livestock, otherwise it will easily cause them diarrhea.
