Design Specifications

The system comes with a hydroponics housing unit, which is a custom built structure made of cloth, timber, and a concrete floor. There are wooden shelves in the housing unit which hold the hydroponics trays. The housing unit can be custom built to hold 70 to 1600 trays. The hydroponics trays are photo-chemically treated to prevent fungal growth, and the fodder is grown directly on the metal trays. The system also comes with liquid mineral nutrients which are sprayed on the fodder. Hydroponics Kenya can also provide barley seeds to customers.
