TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - AGRICULTURE - Preferred Method: The grains including corn, wheat, rice or legumes, like beans, are subjected to moisture, either by dunking or submerging the seeds in water at an ideal temperature of 23 degrees C for 4 hours to initiate germination. The grain or legume to use is chosen by considering that the grain is not necessary to have the largest, the best variety, nor that it be uniform in size, or is enough that the seeds are complete and intact to initiate germination. The seeds are placed on platforms or trays with a stocking ratio of 4 kilos of grains or legumes/m2 after being dunked or submerged in water. The germinated seeds are allowed to grow without any growing medium like soil, peat moss, or coir. The grains or legumes, after being placed on the tray or platform, are subjected to moisture either by misting or watering every three hours or at an interval that will not allow the seeds or roots to dry, where water-logging is avoided by tilting the platform or tray or by boring holes for the excess water to flow out of the tray or platform during the misting or watering of the seeds, and the placement of the holes is preferably done only in the bottom end so that the root outgrowth outside the tray or platform or into the holes will be avoided or minimized if holes are made for water outlet. The germinating grains or legumes are allowed to grow for about twelve days or when the weight of the germinated grains or legumes, including the leaves, stems or stalks and the roots has increased to 800-1200% from the original weight of the seeds. The whole batch of plants, with its entwined roots, can be cut, segmented and then transferred to the feeding troughs and ready for feeding as roughage to herbivorous animals such as cattle, goats, sheep and rabbit after attaining the desired weight of the plants. The tray or platform placed above one another is higher by a length of 18-24 inches or such length, depending of the seeds used, to allow the unhampered growth of the plants until it is ready to be used for feeding. The material used for allowing the sunlight to pass through can be glass, plastic or film. The material used for the structure for support can be iron, wood, aluminum, plastic, concrete, or any material strong enough for structural integrity. The amount of sunlight required is minimal and that the size or area of the glass, plastic or film is enough where the plants are exposed to a light intensity of 1000-9000 lux in daytime. The water is used to moisten the seeds or plants are diluted with non-toxic fungicide.
