Feed production with LXMG-3L

Are you worried about feed costs and seasonal fluctuations? The LXMG-3L hydroponic feed system produces high-quality feed for your cattle all year round – regardless of the seasons and weather.

Understanding forage performance with hydroponics

Feeding cattle is crucial to the success of the farm. Around 4000 kg of milk – or 50% of total production – should come from the basic feed.

Sustainable grassland care through reseeding, fertilization and appropriate cutting heights ensures good quality. Plant composition, dry matter, fiber content and chop length influence structure and digestibility. Energy content and protein quality determine the overall quality – also achievable with Litrax hydroponics.

Forage quality depends on palatability and ingredients. Cows prefer energy-rich forage. For grass silage above 6.0 MJ NEL/kg DM, you need 60-70% sugary grasses. Cutting at ear/shoot emergence maximizes energy. With Litrax hydroponics, you can harvest regardless of the season.

Litrax hydroponics enables 365 days of constant, high-quality feed – regardless of the climate, with e.g. 5-10% more milk per cow.

Hydroponics as a solution

Hydroponics compensates for quality deficiencies and crop failures in the case of forage quality deficiencies, crop failures or yield reductions. The Litrax LXMG-3L-125 system adapts light and nutrients precisely to requirements.

Experiment with modular components to find the best fit for your business.

Hydroponics avoids field losses (e.g. nutrient-rich fine leaves) and silage losses of energy and dry matter. In winter, animals receive fresh, first-class feed – a gourmet solution for your livestock, with a substantial improvement in quality!

Feed / Microgreen module

The Litrax LXMG system requires no pesticides, just clean water and nutrients (e.g. from Hauert). It produces green, sustainable products. With solar power and water harvesting, you achieve 100% sustainability and independence from the weather. Sprouts grow to a height of 20 cm in 5-7 days and are ready to harvest.

Depending on the system, you can produce 10-100 kg of sprouts per day (modularly expandable). As an indoor crop, it is climate-stable and compensates for winter green fodder shortages.

Our LXMG system has the following advantages:

• High yield
• Rapid growth of the fodder
• Low energy consumption
• Simple operation
• 70% reduction in water consumption
• Low maintenance effort
• Low operating costs
• Independence from weather conditions
• Sustainable solution to prevent soil degradation
• Modularly expandable with individual modules or as production in hydroponic containers (20 feet / 40 feet) with 500 to 1500 kg of feed per day

Key features

• Light spectrum to maximize plant size and quality
• Individual nutrient supply for tasty basic feed
• Cultivation bed for plants, grasses or herbs
• Flat flow mode of 15L/4 Gal per mounting bed
• Light cycle of 14-15 hours, adjustable up to 24 hours

• 3 layers (levels)
• Light spectrum for rapid growth
• Optimal distance between light and bed for nutrient-rich feed
• Water pump for constant flow
• Castors for mobility
• 1.25 m height

Feed production

Efficient and sustainable livestock feeding with the LXMG-3 Modern agriculture needs innovations to reduce costs and increase productivity. The modular Litrax LXMG-3L system enables year-round, weather-independent production of high-quality feed. It can also be used as a supplement in winter months only. In a container configuration, you can produce 500-1500 kg per day!

Can hydroponics replace fresh hay?

Definitely yes. The quality of hydroponic feed is highly appreciated by farmers, especially in the winter months. It can therefore serve very well as a complementary system. Here is a video showing the practical approaches and costs using the example of an American farmer:

Microgreen System Application of the LXMG

The LXMG system is suitable for growing forage and germinating crops. Use it for profitable microgreen business with soybeans, peas, lettuce or coriander. Higher yields at lower costs. More information on the LX001 and microgreen benefits.

Production of microgreens (seedlings) and baby leaves

The LXMG system is ideal for microgreens and baby leaves such as radishes, sunflowers, peas, maize and rocket. It offers sustainable alternatives to conventional agriculture. Optimized control maximizes year-round production.

Secure yields regardless of soil and weather. Resilient against disasters and fluctuations – invest in stability!

Ready to harvest within 7 days: radish, sunflowers, pea sprouts, maize sprouts, buckwheat.

Baby Leaves are suitable for mixtures. The LXMG system enables easy production and marketing in flow, tray or versatile cultivation.

Conclusion

The Litrax LXMG-3L system offers farmers a sustainable, efficient solution for year-round feed production.

It expands options for microgreens and baby leaves, promotes profitability and sustainability.

It represents the future of agriculture
