The innovation involves advanced production of green feed – so-called hydroponic mass – from cereals. This feed is available for harvesting throughout the year, independent of climate and temperature conditions. This solution will produce 1.5 tonnes of green hydroponic mass on a 50m2 surface area, using especially designed modular containers that have not been used in Serbia until now. This feed is not grown in soil, but in a water-based solution. This saves resources and ensures a stable supply of organic feed for the livestock.

Farm from Čurug First in Serbia to Produce Green Cattle Feed Without Soil
Čurug, 12 July 2024 – With the support by the Government of Switzerland, and on the occasion of 20 years of its successful operation, the “Global Seed” company opened the first production line for hydroponic production of fresh, green cattle feed in Serbia. This way of producing feed involves water solution, without using soil, in a specially designed and wholly automated facility. Thus the resources such as soil and water, are saved, while the use of fertilisers and pesticides, as well as fuel, is substantially decreased. This contributes to saving natural resources and environment, while simultaneously increasing competitiveness of the company on the market.
