BGrowTech helps livestock farmers solve green fodder unavailability issues by providing hydroponic fodder systems development services using soilless vertical farming technologies.
Fresh fodder contributes 70% of farming costs for livestock farmers. Recent floods caused a $30 bn loss due to crop destruction and mortality of 800,000 cattle, the major cause was fodder unavailability. According to FAO Pakistan is facing a fodder shortage of 25.65 million tons on TDN bases (Total Digestible Nutrients). Major causes are extreme weather events, climate change, seasonal change, massive urbanization, overgrazing, supply chain issues, barren land, brackish water, and limited land and water resources.
In a hydroponic fodder system nutrient-rich fresh green fodder is grown within 7 days without soil, using controlled water, light, and temperature. Our Hydroponic Fodder System ensures toxic chemical-free green fodder production 365 days a year, regardless of weather and location, by saving 95% of water and space. This hydroponic fodder benefits the farmers by increasing animals’ milk and meat production and helps animals with better digestion, immunity, shiny skin, and enhanced productive lifetime.
