Feeding Sprouts to Other Animals
Fresh sprouts grown in a Fodder system offer nutritional advantages for Alpaca, Elk, Deer, Buffalo, Rabbits, Tilapia, and a large number of zoo animals. A wide range of animals perform very well when eating fresh, green sprouts. Fodder sprouting systems allow users to supply appropriate volumes of fresh, spring grass shoots to their animals for optimal performance.
Alpaca & Llamas
Feeding sprouts to alpaca offers very dramatic advantages including:
Faster weight gain
Better appearance and coat
Higher fertility
Buffalo, Elk, & Deer
Feeding sprouts to buffalo, elk, & deer offers a wide range of advantages including:
Lower feed cost
Faster weight gain
Better appearance and coat
Higher fertility
Increased ovulation rates
Increased lactation
Reduced teeth wear
I was very happy with the results of feeding barley grass fodder on my deer. They enjoyed eating the fodder. It is easy to feed out. I didn't have any signs of diarrhoea or unused grain in their faeces which mean it was highly digestible. The fodder also significantly reduced our feed costs.
Rabbits
Feeding sprouts to rabbits offers very dramatic advantages including:
Faster weight gain
Higher fertility
Ween from mothers faster
Reduced scours when weening
Higher fertility
Results: A rabbit farmer in Australia was paying $760 for three weeks worth of feed for 50 Does and 60 - 70 young ones. With Fodder he spends $760 every three weeks, however he is feeding 90 Does and around 250 young ones. The Does have never been so fertile. Litter averages are up to 10 - 12 with some litters as high as 15 rabbits!
