Easiest Way To Grow Hydroponic Fodder on a Small Space | Farming in Kenya Success Story 

Most welcome

yeah but these grass sprouts are 90% water and contain less calories than the initial grain... It is a waste of nutrition

@@vineleak7676 how about you do a video explaining this? You missed my point obviously...give details. This person has at least given details, it's up to me whether I want to try it out or not. I'm not gonna discredit or disregard what he's saying cos someone just randomly said "it's a waste of nutrients"

@@TongTong-rh3br its logical, the grains are sprouted in the shade, the plants will consume the starch, oil and protein that was stored in the seed to grow, build new cells... Since the sprouts are grown in the shade, they do not accumulate any new energy from the sun but only consume the energy stores they had... It will be a net loss and a significant one, almost all the starch will have been converted into sugars and consumed by the plant to grow...

@@vineleak7676 Sprout is much more easy to digests compared to dry grain. Whatever nutrition lost during germination is insignificant compared to the nutrient absorbed from the sprout. Basically grain = more nutrition, hard to digest, less nutrition absorbed by the animal. Sprout : less nutrition, easy to absorb, more nutrition absorbed.

me too have the same question

Thanks

Thanks

Normal feeds.if feeding to ruminating animals you don't water a day to harvesting time.

Yes we train.we don't sell trays but have contact 2.worm tea comes from vermicompost [red earthworms]

You can make tea from leaves of comfrey,stinging nettle as well but don't worry much as long as you water thrice. 2.great and you will reduce the feeds by 60%

@@kipkemoilangat5340 what of the growth rate of broilers and kuroilers

Excretion liquid from red wriggler earthworms.

Start a worm farm, using red worms as they are suited to containers, then collect the liquid it produces. You can dilute that tea.

That vermicompost or red wriggler earthworms. The liquid we get is worm tea and solid is worm casting.thanks

@kazzana good work

Kindly

Good work

From Kitale

You can use also corn to prepare hydroponic fodder. With 1kg of corn it yield 7kg of fodder similar to the one in the video

That comes from vermicompost[red earthworms]

How do you prepare wormtea?

Thanks

If they have overgrown or have moulds

The pigs looked very excited, up on their hind legs, peeking over the fence, so I would say they loved it. Not a natural environment for pigs though, only able to eat when fed, rather than grazing and rooting around all day. I guess they don't have enough land to rotational graze them outside. Shame as pigs would be great for prepping the vegie plot before planting. Pigs are intelligent animals, so it much be tough to be locked in small areas.

Any available materials can do wonders so long as you are in it

Goats 4kg a day,pig 3kg a day 1.5 morning 1.5 evening, poultry 130g per bird app 50 to 60kgs

Barley but can use any available seeds;maize,bean,sorghum, wheat etc

Barley. Thanks

A pig consumes 3kgs meaning 1.5kg morning and 1.5 in evening.goats eat 10%of their body weight so approximately 4kg a day.

@kipkemoilangat5340 give us the farm contacts tuko wengi who want training, these feeds costs

Worm tea....tea from worms...

Yes worm tea from red wriggler earthworms

From red wriggler earthworms

I believe that is the best environment for hydroponic fodder

Yes

I doubt it, as they would need more protein, they are omnivores.

you can follow the videos for free and implement that at your farm at Nepal

Can I get a answer please?🙏🏾

Yes

@@kipkemoilangat5340 thanks

Good and great information as well.most people are thinking of fodder only forgetting that we do it for consumption as well

@carollynne5943 am interested in how we as humans can use this as food? Apart from dicotyledonous plants such as peas we use as greens for Ugali

@@ziokam1 Sprouts r most nutritious foods on the planet for being bioavailable. Carbohydrates turn to sugars n proteins to aminoacids.sprouts are eaten raw n mould is a killer.Google for more info.

i am starting my farming journey soon too

The nozzle I got it from supermarket as well as Jumia

​​@@kipkemoilangat5340where to buy the warm tea?? Tutapata wapi hio minerals?

That tea was just the liquid from a worm farm, probably watered down as it looked quite light in color. It makes for great plant food.

Warm tea ni gani

no this is like an excrete from worms from a Vermiculture or artificial place u rear worms like earth worms etc. So u see this is not normal tea

Worm tea from red wriggler earthworms. Act as foliar

Past Athi River ,past Dayster University there is Small world county club before Simba Cement. 12km from small world but will pick you at small world

Worm tea

Plastic trays would work too. Any shallow try that doesn't corrode would be ok.

or rather where do I buy it

We sell them @ksh 1000 per kilo

Thanks for your question.here we rely on Natural light mostly.

Yes, but chickens probably prefer wheat, rather than barley.

Yes but you allow them to grow for four days and the will eat everything

Mostly readily available seeds;barley,wheat,maize,beans,sorghum etc

Yes

Sure

Not a must

1foot and length is 1metre

3 five gallon buckets by 1 five gallon ( 3:18) Now get a ruler and measure that out 12 inch lid x 3 =36 inches by 12 inches wide

30cm×100cm

1foot ×1m trays.small holes just to allow water drips to the next tray.you just need water for your sprout to strive.worm tea comes from red wriggler worms but as foliar.thanks.Langat
