Corio Road agistment has just completed over 12 months of trials and testing of our fodder shed. Analysis has shown that Barley (or combinations) sprouts to be an excellent and cheap source of nutrients and minerals. We use a twin oxide water treatment and have now ran for 7 months without any rejected batches. I have fed my own horses for four months now on sprouts which they love and have just made this available to my clients spellers on the farm. At full operation we can output over 5t of feed per week and have started taking orders around the pinjarra region. If anyone has any interest or questions please feel free to call me to discuss.
