Cattle
Hydroponically grown fodder is an extremely cost-effective feed supplement for cattle. With hay, grain, corn and soybean prices reaching record highs, cattlemen need a better feed option. FodderPro Feed Systems allow cattle operations to produce healthy, fresh livestock feed with complete control over protein and essential nutrients levels. This lends to total control over meat or milk production and operational costs.
Fodder Benefits
Fodder grown in a FodderPro Feed System mimics the benefits of fresh pasture and is a more appropriate feed option for grazing animals. Ruminants are able to digest fodder sprouts easier and more resourcefully than grain, improving feed efficiency, milk and meat production.
Feeding fodder will also provide these advantages to cattle:
Reduced somatic cell count
Reduced occurrence of acidosis and mastitis
Lowered pH in rumen
Increased digestibility
Earlier breeding and higher conception rates
Faster weight gain and easier weaning
Increased longevity in dairy cows
Higher milk production and butterfat content
Improved hoof health
