Animal Fodder & Cheese › Horse Fodder
A dedicated hydroponic fodder system for the barn — growing fresh, sprouted forage in a fully controlled, pesticide-free environment, engineered specifically for equine feeding programs.
Horse Fodder System
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.
