Thank you for the information, I had planed to put 40 cows in that amount of space and have been told by a few people (who know it all) that I was way off line and that it was cruel. I'm like ..its a feed lot.. whats cruel about that?

more of a feed lot situation .. how many cows can or should fit in that much space

I wonder if these numbers are just normal land by acre or if they include greenhouses or vertical grow systems that are calculated out to the acre ?

I agree 100% and I am looking at ways to also produce the seeds or not be vulnerable to the system imploding on itself as you mentioned.

Thank you for the link I never saw that thread and didn't use the search feature.. bad me!

Ok will do and I understand that cows still need some dry matter so this wont replace 100% of it but it will help supplement their feed thank you for the post

Yes I am sold on it and it's not a matter of deciding on whether to do it or not, like I said I am going to try it and learn something new. I just wanted to hear from others their thoughts or experiences with it all. Sheep and goats are one thing but a cow is different and I am sure there...

I understand its my money and animals but part of the good stewardship is asking others who might be doing the same thing or have experience with fodder for cattle. I am reading up on it all and trying to learn as much as I can and asking others is part of that. We have done this type of...

Why Sprouting Fodder? Fresh sprouting fodder enables the digestive system to process food in a much more efficient manner than it does with grain because: • it eliminates phytates to improve mineral absorption • it eliminates enzyme inhibitors to improve the digestive process • it improves...

Dairy Cows It is well known that a cow only gets 20% of the energy produced through digestion of a grain based diet such as alfalfa and maize to produce milk. Hydroponic fodder is so much more easily digestible, full of nutrients and enzymes that the energy spent on this digestion process...

Here are some still images I screen saved from a video that might help some of you visualize what I am referring to. These trays are stacked 7 high and two deep on each side of the rack. The fodder itself is completely removed and along with the roots and the grass it is fed to the animal...

That's basically it, What I am trying to do is create a system for dairy cows where they can be kept in a small lot of land and have their feed produced on site in a greenhouse. This project is to help better make use of land and limited resources and to be a working model, thats all. you...

Well I plan to grow a lot of Barley for the sheep but I was just wondering if anyone else was doing such a system and if they had any type of "roughage" suggestions. Like I said we have done this barley fodder for sheep and it works great.

ok let me say I am also plan to feed it barley but the entire post is about what types of greenhouse items should be fed to dairy cows.. I agree on lettuce alone not being enough .. sorry for not being more clear..

Hello everyone I am a long time lurker and now a new member here and I’d like to open a discussion on greenhouse fodder for cattle. We have had a greenhouse here where we produced fodder (Barley) for sheep and it worked out really well. Now I am building a new greenhouse and larger project and...
