Hydroponic fodder cultivation grows fresh green fodder without soil — using water, seed and a controlled environment. It produces 7–8 kg of green fodder from 1 kg of seed in just 7 days, using 90% less water than field cultivation. Thumba Agro designs and supplies complete custom systems for dairy farms, goat farms and horse farms, including automated irrigation, temperature control and humidity management.
Every system is custom-designed. Please share the following details so we can recommend the right setup and avoid over-investment:
Direct consultation is strongly recommended before purchase to ensure the system is sized correctly for your farm and avoids unnecessary cost.
1 kg of seed (corn, barley or wheat) produces 7–8 kg of fresh green fodder in 7 days under controlled hydroponic conditions. This is significantly higher than field cultivation, which takes 30–60 days for the same output.
Hydroponic fodder is ready in just 7 days from seeding. The controlled environment of temperature, humidity and automated irrigation ensures consistent 7-day cycles year-round, regardless of season or rainfall.
Hydroponic fodder cultivation uses 90% less water than growing fodder in the field. The closed drip/mist irrigation system recirculates water efficiently, making it ideal for water-scarce regions and farms with bore wells.
The most commonly used seeds are corn (maize), barley and wheat. The choice depends on what is cheapest and most available in your area. Thumba Agro recommends using locally sourced seeds to keep running costs low. We will advise on seed selection during consultation.
Yes. Hydroponic green fodder is highly digestible and nutritious for dairy cows, buffaloes, goats, sheep and horses. It is especially valuable as a supplement during summer months when field fodder is scarce and expensive.
Systems can run on single-phase AC mains power, solar power or a combination of both. Thumba Agro designs the system based on your farm's available power and your future solar expansion plans — avoiding unnecessary over-investment at the start.
