Green fodder feeding to livestock ensures to increase the milk production efficiency. It gives an effective solution to produce green fodder in different regions of the world. While compare to conventional green fodder hydroponic fodder is best to produce and the milk production gets increased. Hydroponics is a technology to grow plants without soil at desired temperature and humidity. Through hydroponics it is easy to produce green fodder like maize, ragi, bajra, cowpea, horse gram seeds and is suitable to grow. Leguminous crops grow well and it gives very high yield than the cereal crops. From 1kg of seeds the green fodder can be increased for about 15-20kg through hydroponic system. All the nutrients like crude protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals gets increased in hydroponic fodder. This provides them with a low cost, high yield, sustainable source of fodder to increase the milk production. Where conventional green fodder cannot grow in hydroponic technique and that can be produced by the farmers to feed for their dairy animals. The dry matter get loosed based upon the grain type and duration of fodder growth. Implementation of about 10-15kg fresh fodder was fed to the cow it increases 25-30% of milk gets increased by digesting all the nutrients
