DIY Sprouts eBook - A fantastic new way to feed your stock in water-poor farmland
DIY SPROUTS is an Australian owned company that provides a solution for one of the key challenges facing the livestock industry. Drought and a volatile climate can destroy the means for a farmer to feed livestock.
DIY SPROUTS has created a step-by-step book that enable farmers to build their own hydroponic system to grow fresh and nutritious sprouts all year round, irrespective of variations in rainfall.
The advantages of growing sprouts for livestock feed are reduced water usage, small land requirement, and shorter growing time compared to conventional farming.
One kilogram of sprouts can be grown with as little as 7.5 litres of water, compared to conventional farming where 75 litres of water is needed to produce one kilogram of feed.
The entire system requires an area of land only a little larger than a shipping container. Comparable feed production of broadacre crops would require much more land, a substantial capital cost for the enterprise.
Sprouts can be grown to harvest in six days, not in months as is the case in conventional feed production. A short growing time of six days from seed to feed allows for very short lead times. This gives the farmer guaranteed feed at the end of six days. The system can be managed with seed put into the machine daily so that batches of sprouts are always at different stages of growth, allowing sprouts to be removed and fed to livestock daily. The use of small or large trays allows production rates to be varied, and tray weight to be matched to the strength and requirements of the operator.
