Grow tons of mold free livestock feed indoors daily
Mold and Mildew free
Mold and mildew are always present in feed systems. This system is the only Livestock sprouter system designed and guaranteed to prevent mold and mildew without harmful chemicals.
Benefits of Livestock Feed Sprouts
* Eliminate worries about weather, climate, drought or insects destroying or reducing your pasture fields.
* Provide Spring season quality green grass sprouts year around in the comfort of a building that replaces acres of weather dependent pasture land.
* Horses particularly will eat the tender grass sprouts in pastures almost down to the roots while leaving the taller, tougher grass to continue growing resulting in an eventual degradation of the pasture land unless remedial actions are taken.
* Or conversely, some farmers have increased the number of livestock that they can carry on their existing feedlot and pasture land because the pasture is only needed for grazing and exercise and not as a vital portion of the livestock’s daily nutritional requirement.
You can reduce livestock feeding costs significantly while providing tender green grass mats that are higher quality feed than the grain used as seed. One pound of 30% digestible seed grows into about 8 pounds of 80% digestible sprouts in 6-7 days. 16 – 18 pounds of this sprout mat will feed a normal 1100 pound horse or cow for one day.
The sprout mats can be easily cut to provide more or less green grass depending upon the size and activity of your livestock. Even the hay for roughage will be significantly reduced providing additional savings.
- One 16-18 pound sprout mat will feed one 1100 pound horse or cow.
- 100 pounds of sprouts will feed 6-7 1100 pound horses or cattle.
- One ton of sprouts will feed 125 fully grown horses or cows
- or 62 milking cows
- Note: Actual number may vary slightly depending upon size, condition and activity of the animals.
Move your pasture indoors out of the weather. Produce up to several tons of highly nutritious and tender mold free fodder daily for your livestock (horses, cattle, sheep, goats, chickens) inside the comfort of a shed regardless of your local weather or climate.

SRFs Alternative Feed Systems for livestock have been specifically developed to sprout grain and legume seeds for highly nutritious and cost effective livestock feed. You may already be spending as much or more for feed as it would to purchase one of these units and feed your livestock.
Grow Spring Season Quality Green Grass Indoors Out of the Weather all Year around
Produce up to one ton of highly nutritious and tender Spring season quality green grass daily for your livestock inside the comfort of a shed regardless of your local weather or climate conditions. Any animal that forages will consume the feed produced. For example; Cattle, Horses, Goats, Sheep, Hogs, Chickens, Zebras and other Zoo animals and many more.
Cost and Operation:
SRFs Alternative Feed System units operate on an average power cost of $2 per day. The system uses only .5 to 1.0 gallons of water to produce 2.2 lbs of green grass, whereas conventional growing methods require approximately 21 gallons of water. The irrigation water can be re-used for animal hydration.
These units will produce highly nutritious feed at a per-pound cost of $.03 – $.06 cents. Additionally, dependence upon rain or soil moisture content is eliminated as this unit is a controlled growing environment. Spring pasture quality green grass fodder can be available year around
The feed is harvested in a sprout mat that is completely edible and high in nutrition. The entire process, from seeding of the growing trays to actual fodder feed, takes only six days. Growth is achieved in a totally controlled environment which gives the producer the ability to provide a consistent high nutrient 100 percent organic green feed to their animals regardless of weather or unstable market prices.
Depending on the size of the system purchased, a typical operation takes from only 15 to 60 minutes per day to harvest, clean and seed the AFS unit.
Animals consume all of the biscuit–the roots and the green roughage–so it minimizes waste on feed. You have a highly nutritional feed that’s high in moisture, so there’s a better hydration rate and better nutritional absorption into the bloodstream. It’s easier for the animals to digest.
We recommend feeding the sprouts on day 6 or 7 because that is when the sprout/seed is at it’s optimum nutritional value.
Even better, the AFS requires no pesticides or fertilizers
Feeding: Based on suggested Fodder nutritional data:
Day to day feeding: 1% of animals total body weight per day. For an 800 pound animal you would feed approximately 8 pounds or 1/2 of a biscuit.
Finishing Weight feeding: 3% of animals total body weight per day. For a 1200 pound steer you would feed approximately 36 pounds or 2 biscuits per day.
We also recommend providing about one-half this amount of dry hay to add roughage and improve the nutritional value of each feeding.
Note: You may already be spending as much money feeding your livestock as it would take for a short period of time to feed your livestock very well and pay for a Livestock sprouter!
1. Multiply 2 pounds of grain x the number of full size horses or cattle you plan to feed x the $cost of the grain per pound.
2. Add the cost of hay, 45 gallons of water daily, $1-2 for electricity to get a total daily cost.
3. Multiply the daily cost x 30 to obtain a monthly cost.
4. Compare the daily and monthly cost of feeding the high quality fresh green grass sprouts versus your current daily and monthly cost and quality.
