Minimal use of land

Rotar (2004) states that the substantial quantities of sprouted fodder that can be produced on a small area are largely beneficial in densely populated regions where growing space is lacking. These areas include countries in the Third World such as in Southern Africa and Asia, where the areas used for conventional fodder production can rather be used for food crop production.

Reduced water consumption

Conventional farming uses 80to 90 litres of water to grow 1 kg of fresh barley, as opposed to the 1.2 litres of water required to produce the same amount of GreenFeed through aeroponics. This means that the farmer attains maximal GreenFeed® production with minimal water usage.

Steady Daily supply

The sprouted fodder system allows for control over the grass growth, which is virtually impossible with conventional farming.

Reduced growth time

With GreenFeed® it takes as little as eight days for the germinated seed to reach a height of 25 to 30 cm.

At this height, the plant is ready to be fed out.

Cost-effectiveness

The cost of producing aeroponic GreenFeed® compares favourably to the cost of production of paddock-grown green feed. To grow GreenFeed conventionally, the farmer needs to incur costs towards land lease, water supply, buying insecticides, fertilisers and machinery and paying labourers to cultivate and harvest.

Enhanced nutritional value

According to Gatti (2002), the protein content of oats increased from 8% as a grain to 21% as eight-day-old green feed.
