A friend Cait has given me some adverts from a farming magazine to look over for interest and the benefit of my future property. One was a product that is hydroponically grown fodder as a solution to stock (horses, sheep, goats, cattle) in times of drought.
The sprouts in question are barley it seems, and there are a lot of positive points listed on the site to promote why you would feed them to your horses.
This may be a cost effective way to provide roughage in times of drought. It is stated on the site to be a cheaper means of providing this than having to buy lucerne hay.
I’m always interested in possible solutions to protect stock during the poor affects of weather – such as in a drought.
If interested, perhaps you’d like to check out Fodder Solutions. A nutritional breakdown of the sprouts is also provided.
Perhaps a product such as this one may be something that appeals to those who are interested in pursuing a form of equine nutrition, or pasture related career. Food for thought.
