Swine

For decades, corn, grain and soybeans have been the standard feed option for swine, but with the cost of these feeds continuously rising, hog producers are in need of an affordable alternative. Hydroponically grown fodder, due to its low cost and nutritional benefits, is quickly being adopted by the hog industry. FodderPro Feed Systems allow swine operations to grow healthy, fresh livestock feed that is high in protein, essential nutrients and amino acids, for just pennies a pound.

Fodder Benefits

Fodder is a completely controllable feed option that allows farmers to customize the nutritional content of the fodder they provide. It assists in production management by allowing farmers total control over the growth of their operation. Feeding fresh, green fodder on a daily basis will result in faster weight gain and dramatically improve the quality of pork products for market.

Feeding fodder will also provide these benefits to pigs:

• Earlier breeding
• Improved gut function
• Improved behavior and temperament
• Faster weight gain
• Easier weaning
• Higher quality meat with better texture
