It is a biomass growing chamber that is used to sprout seeds and grains for livestock feed and human consumption.
Seeds or grains are spread onto the growing trays and are watered at predetermined intervals with overhead sprays while a set temperature is maintained inside the chamber to grow nutritious sprouts.
You simply slide the feed out off the trays, rinse the tray, reseed the tray and push the newly seeded tray into the other end.  The system holds enough trays so your desired amount of feed is there waiting for you everyday.
The animals eat the whole lot of the sprouted tuft that is fed to them including the roots. Nothing is left in the feed trough.
Only a single phase 15amp power supply is needed. The rooms come complete ready to plug a 15amp lead into the power socket.
Rain water, dam water and bore water are suitable to use. Fodder solutions can use any type of water to run the system provided it is clean or filtered. Fodder solutions can supply filters and water treatment devices if it is necessary to treat your water.
Generally it takes six days to grow from seeding to feed out. This can vary by 24 hours depending on how well you maintain a consistent temperature inside the system.

The system size depends on the type and size of the animals to be fed and what the system will be used for ie drought proofing, early weening or feeding stock horses etc. Contact your local Fodder Solutions agent to discuss your particular needs 

You can feed cattle as little as 1% of their body weight per day.  Fodder Solutions will work with you to develop feeding programs to suit to suit your application, from feed lotting and back grounding to breeding and show animals.

Horses generally eat between 5-10kg of sprouts per day but this can vary depending on the horse's daily workload.
