Hydroponic Fodder Container Solution for Australian Horse Farm

The client operates a specialist dairy farm in Sydney's south-western suburbs with 70 racehorses and has high demands on the quality, freshness and consistency of its feed supply. Previously, the client had been using traditional hay and silage, but with climate change-induced droughts and fluctuating feed prices, the client was realizing that traditional pasture feeding methods were becoming increasingly difficult to meet future growth and sustainability needs. In July, the customer from Australia found our official website through Google and was very interested in our hydroponic fodder containers.

During the detailed communication, we recommended a hydroponic fodder container with a daily production capacity of 1000kg for the customer. The hydroponic fodder container adopts the hydroponic way to grow barley fodder, the overall water consumption is far lower than traditional agriculture, which saves the planting and operating costs, and because it is a soilless cultivation method, it does not touch the soil and therefore avoids the soil disease problem. Pasture container system is through automated nursery, spraying, temperature and humidity control system, in a closed and controlled environment to realize 7 days pasture from sowing to harvesting, the container 24-hour operation, the whole cycle of production can be controlled, especially suitable for the stable supply of feed requirements of higher pasture. Moreover, the planting ratio can be up to 1:9, that is, 1 kilogram of seed can be harvested 9 kilograms of pasture, which can effectively reduce the cost of feed procurement.

The flexibility of the hydroponic fodder container is also one of its major advantages, tested before leaving the factory, plug and play, the customer only needs to connect the water and electricity can be put into use, without the need for on-site construction, it can be flexibly placed anywhere in the pasture, we also provide customized deployment advice based on the size of the customer's pasture and the actual site.
