Summary in the original language of the document
The video shows the development of a farm made seed sprouting system highlighting some of the issues and solutions for small-scale producers.
The video powerpoint presentation includes photos of the systems development and video of the end product. It is partly directed at those aiming for small-scale production of green material for poultry either as a nutritional source, as a range enrichment, or potentially to boost the supply of green forage in drought or winter.
