FRESH NUTRITIOUS
RELIABLE
HYDROPONIC
Hydroponics Systems is one of the pioneer researcher and
Technology developer introducing vertical and organic
hydroponics farming technology.
vertical hydroponics farming
producing nutrition feed to help
increasemilk productivity and
fertility performance
INTRODUCTION
Hydroponic Equipment is a latest model for production of Eco-friendly green
fodder for livestock. Hydroponics Green house is having capacity to generate
desirable environment to produce a green fodder for animals & also Produce
Vegetable like Tomato, Cabbage, brinjal and Many more for Human Consumption
per day.
Hydroponic Machine
WORKING PRINCIPLE
Hydroponic Equipment creates controlled environment like temperature.
Humidity and light which is required to have optimum germination of seeds to
growth of the green fodder in specified time.

COMPARISON
WHY HYDROPONIC FODDER IS DIFFERENT
THAN OPEN FIELD OR CONCENTRATE FEED ?
Hydroponic fodder/sprouts have around 20-24 % DM Compared to open
field fodder with 10 % DM
Sprouts Protein is high to around 14 % on DM basis, compared to Open Field
fodder protein to around 6-8%
Much higher Fibers, Vitamin, Folic Acid in Sprouts compared to Open field
fodder
In case of Sprouts, Cattles eat complete plants with roots, stem and leaves
compared to only leaves of Open field fodder
Sprouts have higher Metabolic energy and nutrient contents compared to
Open field fodder

Shade is required over the machine to protect from direct sun light.
OTHER CLARIFICATION
Power Outages?
Most of the power requirement is intermittent.
Inverter/Generator is required, if power supply
not regular
Too Hot or Cold?
Machine designed to minimize the weather effect
Refrigeration and water units balance the
humidity and temperature conditions to
optimum level
How Much
Fodder?
Depending upon cattle type, breed, age,
pregnancy stage
Generally: Cow/Buffalo –10-15 KG/day,
Goats –4 Kg/day
Concentrate feed
reduction?
Fodder has high dry matter and protein content,
so concentrate feed can be reduced
Fodder Types?
Any cereal fodder can be grown
Harmful Chemicals?
No chemical used with any residual effect. So no
post harvest care required
FEATURES
Fixed output every day, all 365 days
No Soil, Grown only in Water
Heat resistant growing chamber with robust aluminum structure
Refrigeration for maintaining the optimum temperature
Water sterilization and air handling unit
PLC based automatic control
for humidity, temp and
light, water etc
Separate insulated
chamber for sprouting
DAYS PROCESS
DAY-1
Put the soaking seeds on
the trays for 24 hrs. Wash
the tray properly before
putting the seeds. The
trays containing the soaked
seeds are put on the top
most rows of the rack.
DAY-2
DAY-3
DAY-4
Next day shift
st
rd
th
“1 day trays” in 3 and 4
rows of racks.
After germination of seeds,
shift the trays of their
respective below two rows
Shift the trays again their
respective below two rows
of racks ..
DAY-5
DAY-6 &7
In this stage the plant gain
some height .Then these
trays are shifted again to
their respective below row.
The plant gain proper height to harvest.
th
Generally harvested on 8 day for feeding
dairy animals .The bottom two rows of trays containing fully
grown green fodder for feeding.
BENEFITS
97% reduction in land usage
97% reduction in water usage
Up to 40% reduction in feed cost
Fully automatic.
Continual production throughout year of constant quality
Highly palatable and nutritious fodder comparable to commercial feed.
Improves animal fertility, resistance to sickness and newborn survival rate.
30-50 times faster growth rate of plants compared to plants grown in soil.
Up to 60% reduction in carbon footprint
Less labor and maintenance costs
Control over growing environment (immune to weather)
Milking animals have been found to gain weight (around 20‐40 kg), have become
healthy and has produced almost 20% more milk.
The fodder is free from diseases, organisms and
pesticides & insecticides.
The animal get the green fodder all
throughout the year.
The cattle love the taste as it is tender
and sweet.
Sprouted fodder has high percentage
of dry matter, digestible protein, fiber
and Vitamins.
Saves huge fodder cost.
Maize, Barley, Bazra, Oat, Ragi all types of
fodders can be grown.
