Presently Hydroponics fodder is not used in India,by Diary or goat farmers to obtain fodder for their livestock's.The main reason behind is the cost of machine and its maintenance.The cost of 100kg/per day fodder machine is near about 7 lakhs.Also it requires 18kg of seeds to produce 100kg of fodder,continuous supply of electricity for 24hrs,have to maintain the room temperature of machine and surroundings to avoid spoiling of fodder.So the fodder produce by hydroponics method is in terms of energy,and which is costlier as compare to fodder that is cultivated on farm.
The only plus point in hydroponics fodder system is that it provides you dust free fodder with high moisture content, and germ free.
