Farmers profit from Automatic Paddock

21-11-2008 | |

Livestock producers in Australia are paying 12 cents per kilogram for stock feed from a new Australian invention called the Automatic Paddock.

The machine turns barley seeds and treated water into palatable green shoots
for any grass eating animal and undercuts grain feed prices by about two thirds.

The computer controlled machine is attracting intense interest from
overseas and a trailer mounted version has recently been sent to Iraq to assist
in the reconstruction of the nation’s livestock industry.
