Fodder to feed in less than 10 days or you can set up weekly or daily production to fit your schedule.

Grain is the ultimate product used to feed most animals.

In a fodder system, a grain like barley or wheat is sprouted in trays, grown for approximately seven days, and then fed to livestock. The animals consume everything, including the sprouts, seeds, and roots.

These are some of the most common plants grown for fodder:

• Alfalfa
• Barley (most common)
• Clover
• Grass and Meadow Grasses
• Corn (maize)
• Millet
• Oats
• Sorghum
• Wheat

Because of its high nutritional value, availability, and high seed weight to fodder production ratio, barley seed is often the grain of choice for fodder production. Generally speaking, one pound of barley grain produces six pounds of fodder in approximately one week.
