Hydroponic Fodder System

Hydroponics fodder system is an effective solution for fodder scarcity and is a promising technology for sustainable livestock production. It can be made locally from Bamboo, wood and metal. It requires less area to setup the green house. More importantly hydroponics fodder is more nutritious than whole maize plant and other fodder cut grass. Green fodders produced by growing seeds without soil but in water or nutrients rich solutions are known as hydroponics green fodder. Hydroponic fodder is easily digestible, full of nutrients and enzymes which will enhance production and growth of livestock. It requires lesser space and produces highly nutritious fodder than soil farming.

Growing Duckweed

​Duckweed is a natural plant that grows in swampy area and ponds. Duckweed are small, free-floating aquatic perennials that combine to form a green carpet on the surface of the water. It can also be grown indoors by collecting the plant and by putting it in water. Duckweed grows quickly in water. Duckweed serve as rich source of protein which is used for feeding fish and livestock. Duckweed have been fed to animals and fish to complement diets, largely to provide a protein of high nutritional value. Fish production can be enhanced by feeding duckweed to increase yield  from a few hundred kilograms per hectare/year to 10 tonnes/ha/year.
