“…Producing hydroponic green forage through sprouting takes 8-15 days and minimal land (Bazeley and Hayton, 2013;Gebremedhin, 2015). From one kilogram of seeds, approximately 6 to 10 kilograms of fresh green sprouts can be generated annually (Soufan et al, 2023). These sprouts, consisting of germinated seeds with intertwined roots and green shoots, are consumed entirely by livestock.…”

The study aims to develop a sprouting room for barley powered by solar energy instead of traditional alternating-current rooms to suit remote areas. The cooling, lighting, and irrigation systems were developed and replaced with another that operates on 12 V DC. An air cooling device based on the Peltier module has been developed as an alternative to air conditioning devices. Four cooling units of the air cooler were tested with three lighting durations of 6, 9, and 12 h and three irrigation rates of 1.7, 1.85, and 2 m3 ton-1. The measurements included evaluating the performance of the developed air cooler device. The vegetative and quality characteristics and a chemical analysis of sprouted barley for the solar-powered room compared to the room before the modification were estimated. The solar room's productivity and electrical energy consumption rates were estimated, and an economic evaluation of the development was conducted. The maximum electrical power consumption for the solar-powered sprouting room was 63.275 kWh ton-1, compared with 117.19 kWh ton-1 for the alternating current-managed room before modification. The interaction between the utilized developing DC air cooling, lighting, and irrigation achieved standard rates for the produced barley vegetative and quality characteristics. The maximal productivity from sprouted barley was 1.22 tons, per 7 days with an increment ratio over control of 31.97%. The net earnings for the developed sprouting room were maximized relative to the significant decrease in electrical production costs. The developed room fits the livestock sector by providing good economic alternative fodder sources.

The study was conducted under the condition of the laboratory affiliated with the Department of Horticulture/College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences/University of Baghdad, aiming to investigate the effect of soaking seeds in water and the storage period (0, 3, and 7 days) on some traits of sprouts produced from three types of plants (brown mustard, red radish, and purslane). The completely randomized design (CRD) was used in this experiment involving three factors with three replicates. Results demonstrated that the red radish sprouts were significantly superior in the contents of carbohydrates, chlorophyll, fibers, phosphorous, and protein; purslane sprouts were superior in the contents of calcium, potassium, and vitamin C; mustard sprouts were superior in the contents of calcium, chlorophyll, and potassium. Soaking seeds gave results significantly superior to non-soaking seeds in each carbohydrate, fiber, phosphorous, protein, and vitamin C content. The sprout storage period also significantly affected the trait that the second and third periods were superior to the first period in the most studied traits. Concerning the binary introduction, the non-soaked seeds affected the most traits in the interactions A x B and B x C. In the interaction A x C (plant type with the storage period), most results refer to the significant superiority of the red radish sprouts stored for a further time. Regarding the triple interactions, non-soaked seeds and long storage periods of the red radish sprouts were significantly superior in most interaction treatments.
