Hydroponic Fodder System – Vertical Farming Container

Hydroponic Fodder System – Vertical Farming Container

The Hydroponic Fodder System Vertical Farming Container is a self-contained, containerised growing solution designed for the efficient production of fresh hydroponic forage and fodder. Built inside a 40-foot container, the system combines vertical planting racks, automated irrigation, LED grow lighting, ventilation, temperature control, refrigeration, and a central control system to create a controlled growing environment.

The system is designed to support the rapid production of fresh green fodder from seeds such as barley, wheat, corn and other suitable forage crops. With a quoted production capacity of approximately 120 kg of fresh fodder per day, it can provide a consistent source of green feed for livestock operations while reducing dependence on large areas of traditional agricultural land.

The container features a stainless-steel internal structure, insulated walls, multiple vertical planting layers, automated spray irrigation, ventilation fans, circulation fans, temperature control, and LED lighting. The integrated PLC-based control system allows the operator to manage and monitor the growing environment from a central interface.
