PROVEN ADVANTAGES OF HYDROPONIC FODDER

The use of hydroponic fodder in animal feed contributes to reducing methane emissions, as its high digestibility and optimized nutritional profile allow for more efficient ruminal fermentation. As it is a feed that is easier to break down in the rumen, sheep and other ruminants produce less methane during digestion compared to conventional fodder.

Hydroponic fodder is a balanced, high-quality source of nutrients, rich in proteins, vitamins and minerals essential for animal growth and health. Its protein content is higher than that of many traditional fodders, which helps to cover nutritional requirements efficiently. In addition, its digestibility is exceptionally high, allowing for better absorption of nutrients in the digestive tract, optimizing feed conversion and promoting healthy weight gain in measurable less time.

A feed contract with our company will offer you numerous advantages: continuous access to fresh, high-quality hydroponic forage, guarantee of a constant and balanced nutritional profile for your animals, cost reduction by optimizing feed conversion and improving weight gain, reduced environmental impact by reducing methane emissions, and a stable supply without depending on weather conditions. In addition, your livestock will enjoy better health and well-being, which will increase their productivity and the profitability of your livestock operation.



Nutrition: Hydroponic forage is rich in nutrients, which improves animal
health and performance.

Sustainability: Reduces the use of pesticides and fertilizers and
decreases pressure on water resources.

Complementarity: Hydroponic forage should be seen as a complement
to other food sources, not as a one-size-fits-all solution. 

Local adaptation: Plants must adapt to local conditions, such as
temperature, humidity, and energy availability.

 Training: It is essential to train local growers in the management of
hydroponic systems to ensure their long-term sustainability.

Speed and scalability:

Accelerated production: The cultivation cycle in hydroponic systems
is significantly shorter than in traditional farming, which allows you to
obtain high-quality forage in a minimum time.

Adaptability: These plants can be easily adapted to meet the needs of
different animal species and production volumes, making them scalable
to serve large populations.

Climate independence Environmental control:

Hydroponic systems allow factors such as temperature, humidity, and
light to be controlled, ensuring consistent and high-quality production
regardless of outdoor weather conditions.

Resilience: These plants are less vulnerable to extreme weather events
such as droughts or floods, making them a reliable solution in emergency situations.

High production density:

Space optimization: Hydroponic systems allow large amounts of forage
to be grown in tight spaces, which is especially beneficial in areas with
limited land.

Efficiency: This high production density translates into greater efficiency
in the use of resources such as water and nutrients.

Operational and logistical ease:

Automation: Many hydroponic systems can be highly automated, reducing
the need for specialized labor and streamlining operations.

Modularity: Hydroponic plants can be designed in modules, making them
easy to transport, install, and expand to different locations.

Efficient logistics: Hydroponic forage is a product that is easy to handle and transport, which speeds up its distribution to emergency areas.

Sustainability:

Efficient use of water: Hydroponic systems recirculate water, minimizing consumption and reducing pollution.

Nutritional quality of forage:

High nutritional value: Hydroponic forage is characterized by a high content
of nutrients essential for animal health, which favors better growth and development of the animals.

Customization: The composition of the nutrient solution can be adjusted
to meet the specific needs of each animal species.

Irrigation System and Nutrient Control:

Hydroponic system integration: Automated irrigation systems will be installed that will distribute nutrient solutions to the grow trays using drip or flood systems and drainage.

Climate control: Sensors will be connected to monitor temperature, humidity, and CO2 levels, automatically adjusting ventilation and irrigation systems to optimize forage growth.
