My brother in law and I have a small farm in northern Nicaragua where the dry season lasts 6 months a year. The livestock suffer due to lack of pasture during that time. Does anyone know if it's possible to successfully sprout fodder in temperatures that are generally 75-90 degrees Farenheit during the daytime? Are there places that are using sprouted fodder in the tropics or semi tropics without temperature control? Farmers in our area would have to rely on shade to keep the temps down as the electric grid doesn't reach out to us yet.

I would give it a try you could always keep it in the shade. Somewhere there is good air circulation would help and you could always feed out at day 4-5 instead of waiting for day 6 growth, as mold starts setting in, in more humid climates around day 4 and up. I know a farmer that kept his in his barn growing all summer. He had a good cross breeze but temperatures were in the range you have and he has done well.
