A system measuring 4m by 3m by 3 m high can produce 170 kg of hydroponics fodder dairy this amount of fodder can feed 14 heads of cattle at a cost of kshs 1 050.
Hydroponic fodder systems in kenya.
Hydroponics kenya is the pioneer initiator of hydroponic farming technology in east and central africa.
The system requires 2l of water to produce 1kg of fodder as compared to 80 90l of water to produce 1kg of green pasture.
To grow good quality fodder you need to be able to control the temperature and humidity.
Our trials in kenya have concluded that the production of hydroponic fodder is an extremely cost effective and financially viable.
We have created hydroponic nutrient formulations specific for particular crops from fodder to vegetables to fruits.
The work of hydroponics nutrients is to make the crop more nutritious.
Learning how to grow hydroponic fodder at home is essential for plentiful fodder production regardless of the season.
We specializes in the manufacturing installation and marketing of customized hydroponic fodder and vegetable systems to help small and medium holder farmers have access to a high quality cost effective and sustainable way of farming.
However it has proved prolific in different parts of the world.
Hydroponics have many advantages one is that its water saving.
Construction of hydroponic fodder system.
Weigh 2 3 kg of barley seed.
The procedure for growing fodder hydroponically is as follows.
Discard the ones that float.
Hydroponics kenya is the pioneer initiator and leader of hydroponic farming systems in east africa.
Rinse the seed with clean water 2 times.
Wash seed until water comes out clear.
Hydroponics farming is an incoming practice in kenya.
Our hydroponics nutrients increase protein content in the seed from 9 to 25.
We enable farmers to achieve predictable and highly nutritious yields for vegetables and produce their own animal feed at limited cost of input.
This tells me that water harvesting alongside hydroponic fodder production will actually solve the cattle hunger.
The fodder easily grows in semi controlled environmental conditions with the temperature range of 15 32 c and relative humidity of 80 85.
