Abstract
Processes and methods for hydroponically sprouted cereal grains are disclosed as a mechanism for improving skeletal development, increasing nutrient levels, and maintaining or increasing future milk yield in ruminants by administering to a ruminant a feed ration having at least one feed component comprising one or more hydroponically sprouted cereal grains.
Claims20
A method for hydroponically sprouted cereal grains as a mechanism for improving skeletal development in ruminants, the method comprising:
- administering to a ruminant a feed ration having at least one feed component comprising one or more hydroponically sprouted cereal grains for improving skeletal developments in a ruminant.
A method for improving skeletal development in a ruminant, the method comprising:
- hydroponically sprouting one or more cereal grains for at least one feed component for ruminants;
- feeding the ruminant a feed ration having the at least one feed component comprising the one or more hydroponically sprouted cereal grains for improving skeletal development in the ruminant;
- increasing insulin growth factor 1 levels in the ruminant with the feed ration;
- and
- wherein the increase in insulin growth factor 1 levels supports skeletal development within the ruminant.
A system for hydroponically sprouted cereal grains as a mechanism for improving skeletal development of a ruminant, the system comprising:
- a grower for hydroponically sprouting one or more cereal grains for growing at least one feed component for prepubescent ruminants;
- a feed ration having the at least one feed component comprising the one or more hydroponically sprouted cereal grains for improving skeletal development in the prepubescent ruminants.
