Subject: Hydroponic Fodder
Dear Sir,
Will using only hydroponic fodder take care of green fodder requirements of HF cows? Or should one use any additional green fodder along with hydroponic? Please comment. Awaiting hearing from you.
Kind Regards
Sachin
Dear Sachin,
It will be better to feed some leguminous fodder crops like lucerne, cowpea, hedge lucerne, berseem 10-15 kg per day per animal feed along with hydroponics fodder of maize, oats, barley.
You may also mix some dry chaffed fodder of wheat, maize, sorghum (3-4 kg per day per animal) in leguminous fodder for animals.
