Hydroponic Fodder For Dairy


Listen Later

This study investigated the impact of feeding hydroponic

maize fodder to crossbred dairy cows.

Researchers compared milk yield, fat content, and

solids-not-fat (SNF) in cows fed hydroponic fodder versus a control group receiving conventional green fodder. The results showed a significant increase in milk yield (7.5%), milk fat (9.4%), and SNF (6%) in the hydroponic fodder group.

This suggests that hydroponic fodder is a viable alternative

to traditional methods, offering a solution to fodder scarcity and potentially
reducing feed costs. The study concluded that hydroponic fodder production is a beneficial technology for sustainable dairy farming.
