Green fodder is fresh, nutrient-dense plant material used for feeding livestock. Growing it hydroponically, using nutrient-rich water instead of soil, provides several benefits, including faster growth, higher nutritional content, and reduced space requirements. This method allows for year-round cultivation in controlled environments, making it a sustainable and efficient solution for animal farming. Hydroponic green fodder ensures a consistent, high-quality feed supply, especially in areas with limited land or natural resources.
The grow lighting required by green fodder in hydroponics ranges between 150–400 µmol/m²/s intensity for optimal growth, with a balanced full spectrum with supplemented Blue and DeepRed wavelengths. They need 12–16 hours of light per day, with Fluortronix LED grow lights being the most efficient.
Due to the continuous water spray, humidity levels in the chamber can reach 70–90%, which is beneficial for healthy plant growth. Keeping this in mind, we offer IP65 rated Fluortronix LED grow tubes, designed with a tailored light spectrum to ensure optimal performance and maximize plant growth in such high-humidity environments.
