The Hydroponic Fodder Production Process
Seed Preparation and Sowing: Seeds are typically soaked in water for a few hours to encourage germination before being spread evenly across the growing trays. This pre-soaking step is crucial as it initiates the sprouting process.

Germination: For the first couple of days, the trays are kept in the dark to facilitate germination. During this phase, seeds absorb water, swell, and begin to sprout. Maintaining adequate moisture and temperature is essential during this period.

Growth Phase: After germination, the trays are moved to the main growing area where they receive light and are regularly irrigated with the nutrient solution. The plants rapidly develop roots and shoots during this phase. The controlled environment ensures optimal conditions for growth, with precise adjustments to light, temperature, and humidity.

Monitoring and Maintenance: Regular monitoring is essential to ensure that the plants are growing healthily. This involves checking for any signs of disease, mold, or nutrient deficiencies. Adjustments to the nutrient solution or environmental conditions may be made based on these observations.

Harvesting: After about 7 to 10 days, the fodder reaches the desired height (usually around 6-8 inches) and is ready for harvesting. The entire mat of plants, including roots, is harvested and can be fed directly to livestock. This fresh fodder is highly nutritious, rich in vitamins, minerals, and enzymes.
