System Configuration
Frame
Corrosion-resistant aluminum construction built for a working barn environment.
Trays
Safe, easy-to-clean trays sized for consistent, even sprouting.
Irrigation
A combined drip and flood irrigation system paired with an atomizer nebulizer for fine, even moisture coverage.
Water
Recirculated water reduces consumption and waste across every grow cycle.
Lighting
Full-spectrum LED lighting supports consistent germination and growth regardless of ambient light.
Control
Automated programmable logic control runs irrigation and lighting on a precise, repeatable schedule.
Monitoring
Status reports and alerts delivered straight to your phone, so the barn team always knows where the cycle stands.

Why It Works For Horses
Hydroponic fodder is a balanced, high-quality source of nutrients, rich in proteins, vitamins and minerals essential for growth and health. Its protein content is higher than that of many traditional fodders, helping cover nutritional requirements efficiently. Its digestibility is exceptionally high, supporting better nutrient absorption and a healthy body condition — a useful, fresh complement to hay or pasture rather than a full replacement.
Nutrition
A richer nutrient profile than many traditional forages, helping meet requirements efficiently.
Digestibility
Exceptionally high digestibility supports nutrient absorption and consistent body condition.
Consistency
A controlled environment keeps moisture, temperature and nutrient content consistent from one harvest to the next — unlike hay, which varies by cutting and season.
What A Feed Contract Delivers
A feed contract with Greenfield offers continuous access to fresh, high-quality hydroponic forage; a guaranteed, constant and balanced nutritional profile for your horses; cost predictability through optimized feed conversion; and a stable supply that doesn't depend on hay quality, pasture access, or weather conditions. Horses on hydroponic forage as part of a balanced diet tend to show better condition and well-being.

New › Horse Smart Monitoring System
Fresh fodder is only half the story. Our Horse Smart Monitoring System pairs the Equine Core smart collar with scale-equipped Smart Feed stations, tracking how each horse lives, moves and eats, day and night. Compare hay, alfalfa, pellets and fresh hydroponic fodder with real intake data, and catch changes in appetite, activity or rest early.
From one horse to the whole farm
The Equine Core collar records activity, grazing, rest and GPS location around the clock.
Smart Feed stations with built-in scales measure how many pounds each horse actually eats.
Built-in LTE-M / NB-IoT cellular — no antennas to install. Stores 72+ hours when out of coverage.
Each horse gets its own baseline. Alerts explain what changed and why it matters.
A light 2.6 oz capsule rides on top of the neck, facing the sky for strong GPS. Soft-lined strap with a breakaway link that releases if the horse gets caught.
The collar logs when and how long each horse eats; Smart Feed scales add exactly how much was consumed — ideal for validating a fodder program.
Hour-by-hour activity and rest, location and geofences, and plain-language alerts for owners, caretakers and veterinarians.

Product in development (prototype). Specifications are design targets, pending testing and certification. Alerts are behavioral observations, not veterinary diagnoses. Images are AI-generated renderings based on the device CAD design.
Our engineering team will assist you in designing a customized solution based on the number of horses and daily feed requirements (lbs or kg). Contact us for a preliminary complimentary proposal.
