you said you are getting 2X value by weight. According to my math, you are getting a 4X increase in value. You get 2X by weight and another 2X for digestibility. Great video.

We’re going to give it a try after watching your video! Do you mind sharing where you get your barley? We’re in north Georgia too, and I’m having a hard time finding it at the feed stores we frequent. Thanks!!

Here over the pond in Europe there is research to suggest the sprouted fodder is not overly nutricious as it is not picking up nutrients from the soil. Its ok as a bit of fodder especially in winter months but a lot of studies have found its unfortunately not the miracle grow we hoped.

I'm guessing the run off water from soaking and watering can also be fed to animals at different percentage rates and added to their usual drinking water or in a seperate container.

Great video! I'm looking into something like this for our animals too. You said you fees them a tray and a half daily, but how much roughly would you feed per pig/chicken? My pigs are in a woodlot so they what whatever they dig up alongside 5lbs of pellets a day and my chickens free range my yard, but im trying to replace their pellets altogether with something like this to save money. Thanks!

Lysine is also essential for dinosaurs, but don't try to control them by creating a lysine deficiency because they will get it through their diet on Isla Sorna...
