Feeding sprouts is more affordable than feeding grain or hay. Sprouts can be grown for as little as $0.03 - $0.05 per lb. Start saving on your feed bill with Fodder.
Feeding Fodder Sprouts to Beef Cows
Fresh sprouts grown in a Fodder system offer nutritional advantages for beef cattle. FodderTech sprouts enable the digestive system of ruminants to process food much more efficiently than grain. Growing sprouts in a Fodder system gives access to fresh grass year round regardless of the weather.
Feeding sprouts to beef cows offers benefits including:
Fast, natural weight gain
Helps to drought proof a farm
Produce a consistent feed for consistent flavor
Increase enzymatic activity in cows
Reduce feed costs
Natural hormones, amino acids, omega 3, beta-carotenes, and other beneficial substances
Advantages Feeding Sprouts
Feeding sprouts to beef cattle has been observed to cause:
Better marbling in meat
Increased fertility rates
Improved coat shine and body condition
Excellent herd health and well being
Decreased mortality rates
Beef Feeding Results
A herd of 100 pasture-based friesian bulls were tested in a third-party, controlled feeding trial over a 12 week period. 50 cows were fed hay, pasture, and grain while 50 cows were fed hay, pasture, and sprouts. Here are the results from the sprout fed group:
41% Faster daily weight gain
27% Lower feed cost per lb of gain
23% Less dry matter consumed
0% annualized cull rate vs. 17%
Testimonial

A California beef grower reported the following 'We were paid $2 per lb live weight for sprout fed steers vs. $0.90 per lb for siblings that did not receive sprouts.'
