Sprouts for Chickens.
For a larger flock, you can sprout grain in a five gallon bucket. On our commercial wheat farm, we often had spilled grain around the base of our wheat augers. This is often mixed with dirt or stones, so it is not able to be sold, but it can be put into a bucket, the bucket filled with water and set aside for a few days. The grains will get a short sprout, and when you throw it out into the chicken run, they flock to it. They love the grains with the short sprouts, and the dirt or stones in it do not matter at all.
a good, honest and a hardworking man, like everyone should be. thanks for sharing this video, I wish you all the luck and success.
I am not a farmer, but I admire and enjoy your guys hard work, dedication and passion for the animals and plants you nurture and grow.
This is really nice, I enjoyed your sprout video. I enjoyed the work and effort you put in it. It was wonderful to see the pigs and birds chase you excitedly for food.
I am happy they enjoy your nutritious sprout. God Bless you, your family and land.
We used to do this for a small cattle herd. We don't own a lot of land. Our biggest problem was making SURE the trays got clean. I washed them with HOT soapy water. Mildew can ruin the crop and make cattle sick. We quit when we started fall sowing rye for a spring crop. After we make the ryelege we plant a second crop like beans. On a funny note we had to rip our fodder into smaller chunks as the cows would happily toss it in the air and sometimes it would land on the roof. Another plus was the health of the animals and we often found they were ready for market 5-7 days earlier. If you have the laborers it's a great idea.
You obviously took some time and preparation to make this wonderful, helpful and interesting video. I totally enjoyed it!
God bless you man. You treat birds and animals with so care and healthy way.
Thank you for being hard working and smart.
Your animals look very happy.
Pigs sure love it, every animal seems to love them. Great info, thanks for sharing!
Yeah have you ever seen what a pig does to the ground? This is making it easy for them ha! This isnt an end all as far as raising a pig though. You still need fruits and nuts and root veggies to make them tasty otherwise there will be a dirty swiney funk to the meat if its only grass. Same with cornfed pork. Youve got to give them alot of goodies for the reward.
@@miguelmarquez4192 I've 100%corn and grass fed my pig before the meat was wonderful
I love it, hopefully, you guys might do a more in-depth video so I could see the process and duplicate it at home in a way smaller sense for a few animals.
Just soak your grain in a tray and let them do their thing.
I think the veggies peoples will love those sprout for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and also snacks!
Great on sandwiches instead of salad!!
Not just WILL! This method is used under London for years. They deliver lot of sprouts to markets, hotels etc.
MMMMMEEEHHHH.
Hello from Istanbul, congratulations brother good work!
Normally these are called "fodder" And for those asking it takes place of grain. it's sprouted grains such as Oat, Barley, or wheat.
The pigs were happy, the bigger ones even seemed to "hog" the sprouts instead of staying at the first mat of sprouts, and sure do love the pipping of the Turkeys! Go Utah Go! :)
Another good benefit of sprouting the grain is that the animals can get much better nutrients from them than they can from unsprouted grains. Good job making the switch to sprouted grains.
This is a good video for those who are into raising live stock. I enjoyed it.
Thanks for your clear explanation, greetings from Argentina.
i am very proud of you my son...
I enjoyed watched this video thank you share your video with us
Breath of fresh air...very motivating...Thank you!
IVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE, FANTASTIC SYSTEM.
Thank You for posting this video, the information is valuable!
more useful for new idea of farming various types of cultivation
I`d like to see how the system works. Thank u!
Animals look happy
I notice nobody is talking price point for the system that grows the sprouts.
Amazing farm. Animal have lots of space to roam AND gets nutritional feed
The animals love it!
thank you for what you are doing... i will visiting and purchasing soon ...
Just another reason Utah Natural Meat is the best around. We have a freezer full of their meat and get eggs and milk every week.
Thanks for sharing
The turkeys make such cute noises! :)
This is amazing and wish you good luck all the way 😊
This video was from 2012, will you do an video update of how the system is working, what the maintenance items are, what to expect, costs, etc.
Lots more to learn here. Utah is a dryland .
Love this, keep it going and growing
Happier healthier more efficient feed , to produce a better healthier product, from dairy , beef ,lamb, pork , Turkey and chicken, and eggs, God bless amen.
Wow! Really look healthy!
Wow! thankyou for ur video! it was lovely to watch
wow.... i love sprout grass...great for humans too!!... nice farm
hii
Azolla MICROPHYLA. Duckweed. 18 aminoácidos. 18 a 42 por cento proteína. Etc. Produção 400 toneladas/hectare/ano.
Hmmm delicious, healthy organic livestock
Great ideas
Good luck 👍👍👍
I loved your system
Looks Great，is the molding issue there，how to prevent it
Hi Shane, thank you for the video. Is feeding only with fodder enough for livestock?
Great job . Keep up the good work .
Thank you.
absolute champions!
Hi Shane. Thanks fr sharing this is very educative.
How can I gt Access to these seeds, I am a livestock farm in Sierra Leone farming on sheep, goats, rabbit n chicken. Thanks
Is it more economical to feed them fodder instead of grain seed itself? I read somewhere that fodder actually has less protein content than its seed but it's 80% digestible compared to only 20% digestible in seed form. Also I know that fodder contains some vitamins which the seed lacks. I just wonder if you find that feeding animals fodder actually saves you money in comparison to just feeding them grains. Thanks.
Hi ! Good job , but what kind of lights do you use inside your chamber ? And what kind of seed do you use , only wheat ?
Very nice 👍👏👏👏🙏
Que hermosos pavos excelentes ejemplares.
How long does it take to grow enough to feed daily. You must have a lot of growing stations
Thanks
1) As the sprouts have not taken up any nutrients (only water), in what way are they superior to the original grains they grow from?
2) Why pay for electricity for artificial light in sunny Utah, when you could grow them in a greenhouse?
3) What is the cost per pound/kilogram and how does it compare to other feeds, e.g. unsprouted grain?
I am by no means an expert on the topic so these are just educated guesses:
1) The water is full of minerals which the plants need, the sprouts grain is also likely easier to digest/has I higher digestability and they also convert much of the LED light into chemical energy wich the animals later absorb as fat or burn for movement etc.
2) LED lights are extremely energy efficient and unlike the sun can provide light for the plants 24/7
3) I saw in a promotional video from the company that makes these barly-sprouting-containers that it costs about 10ct a kilo since you get approximately 5kg of sprouts from 1kg of seed i.e a 1to5 ratio. But these numbers come from the company wanting you to buy these so take them for what you think their worth.
Hope I could help.
P.s: please correct me if any of my points are invalid or I wrote something wrong I'm not a native speaker.
Dick Head, sprouting grains greatly increases the nutrient bioavalability, chlorophyll formed in cells produce energy from light via photosynthesis. You get a more nutritious, high energy meal that is in fact easier to digest and probably a lot tastier than hard, dry grain.
@@YesPleaseBigGreen he's asking nicely don't call him a dick head immediately man! Also photosynthesis does not "produce" energy it converts it
Ups just checked and his name is actually dick head my bad man 😂😂
1) The sprouting plant begins to turn the water into additional material in the form of carbohydrates Carbo Hydrate
They sprout in 24 hours?
I run 300 or so bison on my ranch in Montana they only grass but sometimes we have to help out during the winter with hay. I would love to feed them sprouts. Thanks for sharing I have a new project to research.
I think he said six days but he probably rotates.
There are six to seven slots. Through automation each is watered every day with the most complete on the far end. No light is necessary to sprout to this point. Everything the seed needs to get 6 inches tall is there, and you save 80% on feed. -That's the biggest benefit. Waay cheaper than hay, and better for them.
It takes 3-4 day to grow an inch then it grows an inch a day. So that grass looks like 4-5 inches so I'm guessing it's been over 5-7 days

@Kuchi Kopi "The simple process of sprouting brings out many enzymes in germinated seeds, legumes, and grains, making them easier to digest. It also increases the amounts and bioavailability of protein, vitamins and minerals, transforming them into nutrition powerhouses."
vegetariannutrition.net/longevity-diets/sprouts-nutrition/
all the nutrients are in the seed which is often fed to the animals dry
I think adding a thin layer of soil can make this more nutritious
Adorable pigs
How many trays do your animals eat per day.? How many trays of seed can you produce a day ? How long does it take for the seeds to grow ?
good day sir, please can you tell me which grains you are using to made the food of your cattle
LOVED this, thanks!
They get as excited as a city kid does about the ice cream truck.
I wanted to ask, for your animals when you feed this to them, can you have all of their diet come from this ? 100%? Or do you have to have some percentage be some other nutrient source?
I also want to know the same
Wonder whether you feed your animal solely on fodder, or oly as a supplement to the dry feed? If the latter, what is the ratio the fodder to the dry feed?"
is Azura marine plant (easily grows in shallow ponds) can be added together with odder as a complete diet; or as a supplement to the normal dry feed? Thanks.
Correct me if i am wrong, but the way i see it, the amount of sprouts is pretty much the same amount of the seeds that you pour into the tray. So why waste time to do so?
How do you control mold?
Humidity above 70% invites molds. I guess these systems have connected dehumidifiers to keep humidity stable. You can pre-soak the seeds with food grade hydrogen peroxide / vinegar for 5-10mins before actual soaking too. Hope this helps.
Towards the end, your video left out one very important thing, the watering process. Not even the initial soak or exposure to water was shown, draining, or anything related to watering the seed. Considering you were claiming to show the process, you certainly left out a key component. Odd.
It's called "feeding sprouts" not "how to grow sprouts"
Also this is a self automated hydroponic system. You can buy them. You don't do shit besides putting the seed In and wait.
He showed the process all you do is pull out the trays put in the seed slide them back in. People who liked this comment are idiots.
Figure out what you want to sprout first then follow those directions. Its an empty tray. Different seeds will have different soak times and germination times and grow times. Youll then stagger growing times so youll always have a ready supply. Takes alot of space and alot of seed. If this is for a small flock of chickens try looking up sprouting in jars so you can get bunch of jars goin rather than trays.
That creates mold no thanks. Not to mention now needing use of glass which is heavier and narrower.... Plastic trays are way more efficient.
Good job
Shayn, I love your raw milk and grass fed eggs. This looks like wheat grass. Is it or is it a mix of grains? Also, don't you have to add water somewhere in the process? What about light? Can we see this process when we come to buy milk? I am extremely excited about this since I think wheat grass is the healthiest food anyone can eat.
you give the turkeys barley or wheat, thank you.
You did not show how you watered them. Do you soak and drain? Do the trays have holes?
thanks alot for your Informations and detail instructions Best Regards.
All right how is that possible everyday I'm thinking you're going to take 3 to 5 days to get them 4 inches tall
Do you feed them only with sprouts? Do they love it? Thank You.
Is this barley sprouts if not what is it and do you use the same Sprouts all the time or do you change to different seeds?
How are the seeds watered and oxygenated in the greenhouse you didn't share that part
Hi Shane. Congratulations for your work from Serbia. What see you used for sprouts? Thank you for dis video clip.🇷🇸
For your laying birds, what else do you feed them?
This is just a supplement?
Also, how large is your greenhouse system? How many (10x20?) trays do you have going at any given time??
Thanks for the ideas!!
Wow amazing
How long does it take for the sprouts to grow fully?
Can you please share where and how did you procure that hydroponic greenhouse?thank you in advance. Great video and love your work
rahul chakravarthy its a Fodder System from Fodder Group inc.

Nice work
hi I loved the video....just wondering if feeding the chickens sprouts made them lay more eggs...thnx again
new subscriber here, the idea is great and works just fine, I wonder why so much bare soil?
I loved this video. Thank you for sharing.
water consumption per day Liters
grain per day kg (not sprout)
sprout per day kg
beast growth per day on barley kg
he isn't making a scientific study or comparative the guy is just showing you that it's more advantageous then the traditional way, you might refer to a scientific journal if you want more statistics and details.
Dude, learn to say please and thank you!! You are demanding information as if the guy owed it to you!
You have so much land. There is so much you can do. Rotate and improve the soil.
We do rotate our animals & work with our soil. Keep in mind a short video doesn't show how our farm is managed overall. Without much water we do what we can & love our greenhouses because they use such a small percentage of water compared to what is used on our fields.
I love this smart idea iam from Salt Lake City I would love to visit this family farm
Search for azula its much better than this
how many mats do you need per pig per day? per chicken?
Donyou have to water or does the shed you grow them in have a humidifier?
You didn't mention the cost of it, how many days to harfest? and it seems dosn't need sun to grow it? could you make the steps in days by details? thanks
after pouring the seed don't you water it to grow?
You can sprout them in a jar with some water first them dump them in a tray and spray them several times a day depending on your humidity. Start seeds regularly. once you get the hang of it to keep a supply going. It takes alot of seed. Look up sprouting seeds in a jar
very good
You did not tell us what kinda seeds. And is it ok dry seeds? Put in the tray?
Hello sir, I am from China and I have been watching this project recently. Can you please share some related technologies and concepts of hydroponic barley malt? I want to do this, but there are many things I can't figure out, such as whether to add other feeds when feeding All the accessories should be fed with barley malt. If it is cold in winter, how to keep warm
It's not much, but its honest work
Do use Hydroponics to produce the seed to grow new Sprouts as well?
