“…After 24 h of soaking, the DM leached in soaking water was 1.35, 1.55, 3.15, 2.86 and 2.67% in faba bean, lentil, chickpea, Egyptian FB and fenugreek seeds, respectively (Figure 1(c)). The amount of DM leached in the soaking water was lower than the DM amount lost by the seeds during soaking (results not shown), and this could be explained by losses in gaseous form, by respiration or fermentation (Dung et al 2010).…”

The effects of soaking and cooking on soluble sugars, alpha-galacto-oligosaccharides (a-GOS) and soluble dietary fibres (SDF) and insoluble dietary fibres (IDF) were assessed in five legumes (lentil, chickpea, fenugreek, faba bean and Egyptian faba bean). In raw seeds, total a-GOS content ranged from 2500 mg/100 g (chickpea) to over 4000 mg/100 g (fenugreek). Stachyose was predominant in fenugreek, lentil and chickpea, whereas verbascose was the main a-GOS in faba bean and Egyptian faba bean. IDF represented 69-87% of the total dietary fibres in all studied legumes, while SDF content varied noticeably. During soaking, total a-GOS content decreased between 10% (lentil and faba bean) and 40% (chickpea). In fenugreek, soaking reduced IDF and increased SDF concentration, possibly due to partial IDF solubilisation from the cell wall. Cooking further decreased a-GOS and increased total dietary fibre content. The different behaviours of these five legumes during processing illustrate the high biodiversity within legume species.

“…The word hydroponics has been derived from two Greek words hydro means 'water' and ponic means 'working'. Thus, fodder produced by growing plants in water or nutrient rich solution but without using any soil is known as hydroponics fodder or sprouted grains or sprouted fodder (Dung et al, 2010a). Hydroponics is the state of technology that has revolutionized the green fodder production in the 21 st century.…”

The aim of this paper was to review the effects of hydroponic fodder feeding on milk yield and composition of the dairy cow. Hydroponic fodder is an effective solution for fodder scarcity and is very promising for sustainable livestock production in different regions of the world. Hydroponics fodder production involves growing of plants without soil for a short duration (5-10 day). In hydroponic fodder production system, it can be possible to grow 5-10kg of green fodder from 1kg seeds. The nutritional increase in crude protein, fibre, ether extract, vitamins and minerals were constantly observed in hydroponic fodder. However, there was a loss of 10-25% dry matter content depending on grain type and duration. The hydroponics fodder feeding improves milk yield and composition of a dairy cow through increased intake and digestibility of nutrients. However, more information is needed to confirm the benefit of hydroponic fodder feeding as part of ration for dairy cow.

“…In many parts of the world, the production of sufficient conventional green fodder and grain to feed the huge livestock population has become a big challenge. This is due to limited land allocation, resources, labour requirement, fertilizer and manure requirements for cultivation, and lack of irrigation facilities, prevailing water scarcity and natural calamity (frequent draught) [2][3]. Fodder shortages are continuously hindering the sustainable livestock production resulted in poor productive and reproductive performance of the animals.…”

In many parts of the world, production of sufficient green fodder and grain to feed the livestock population has become a big challenge. This is due to limited land allocation, fertilizer and manure requirements for cultivation, lack of irrigation facilities and natural calamity. To overcome this problem, hydroponics fodder production technology is an emerging as alternative to grow sufficient quality fodder and some parts of concentrate in livestock farms. Hydroponic fodder production is a method of fodder production, in which fodder seeds are germinated into a high quality, highly nutritious, disease free animal food in a hygienic environment. It is also more palatable and digestible and can be grown in low cost devices with locally home grown grains. Moreover, it is advantageous in terms of nutritional benefit and economic value, constant food supply year-round, marginal land use, reduced labour requirement and natural feed for animals. However, there is a big gap and no adequate compiled information that clearly indicates the importance of hydroponics fodder production for sustainable livestock production against climate change. Therefore, it is important to review the aspect thoroughly and bring minor details into focus to have better understanding of hydroponics fodder production for sustainable livestock production against climate change.
