The News
Farmer Testimonials
"In severe drought, we had to rely on our fodder system for our A1 Flush Embryo transfer program. The cattle were only on fodder and hay and our vet was very worried due to the dry conditions. He turned up and the cattle were in perfect frame score and the success rate was 85% overall. Our semen testing for that year for the bulls was 85%, even the show bulls returning from Ekka. Our vet’s comment “whatever you’re doing keep doing it, as it is working"
Dianne Greenwood, Pittsworth Queensland
"It’s not just all the health and weight benefits. We have seen all our paddocks regenerate because the cattle get almost all they need out of the fodder. This allows the paddock to regenerate and regrow in record time"
Brian and Caroline Oppermann, Allora Queensland
"The seasons are so variable in Western Queensland, but we can make green grass all year round with our Fodder Solutions system. We have been getting more than 1.8kgs to 2kgs in daily weight gains, our fodder system is definitely saving us a lot of money in the long run"
Kelvin & Libby Harriman, Muttaburra Queensland.
"I know how to raise cattle on grass but what you see in the paddock and what you receive on the plate can often be deceiving. By maintaining 80% of the diet with our sprout feeding regime, we can control daily weight gains at different stages of development. This control has a huge impact on eating quality and index scores while maintaining grass fed status"
Rob Cook, Bundaberg Queensland.
"Since the introduction of our hydroponic system we have completely replaced 2 daily feeds with fresh sprouting barley. In performing a cost analysis of the first 12 months since making the switch, we have reduced our feed bill by 60%. In addition to this, every one of our horses has taken to the sprouts and looks forward to their meals."
ill Harris, Spanish Bit Riding School, UK
"We at Blazing Saddles Adventures have used Fodder for over 10 years and feed 30+ horses every day. Our horses are the best kept trail horses anywhere. We produce 360kgs of sprouted barley each day. Totally recommend this product"

"I have been feeding our 240 cow herd 17 lbs of sprouts per day instead of the 15 lbs of grain he was feeding last year. He reported an increase in his milk check and a reduction in feed costs since switching to sprouted barely fodder. In a recent newsletter profile for NODPA, he cited an overall 64% reduction in concentrate expenses since switching to sprouts."
