Abstract: A hydroponic growing apparatus, system, and method is provided. The hydroponic grower includes one or more seed beds each having a length and a width operably supported by a framework. A seed belt is rotatable around each of the one or more seed beds between loading and offloading positions to and from a seed growing position. Seed is discharged onto the seed belt for hydroponically growing a seed atop of the one or more seed beds. Seed growth can be offloaded through the path of a stream of liquid exiting a liquid nozzle for cutting through offloaded seed growth in at least one direction.

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.

Abstract: Processes and methods for hydroponically sprouted cereal grains are disclosed as a mechanism for increasing fertility rates, postpartum milk production, postpartum energy balance and maintaining a healthy pregnancy in ruminants by administering to a ruminant a feed ration having at least one feed component having one or more hydroponically sprouted cereal grains.

Abstract: Processes and methods for hydroponically sprouted cereal grains are disclosed as a mechanism for lowering enteric methane emission and improving ruminant mass gain and carcass quality by administering to a ruminant a feed ration having at least one feed component having one or more hydroponically sprouted cereal grains for increasing, for example, rates of glycolysis within the rumen.

Abstract: Processes and methods for hydroponically sprouted cereal grains disclose as a mechanism for lowering enteric methane emission and improving ruminant feed efficiency and ruminant performance by administering to a ruminant a feed ration having at least one feed component comprising one or more hydroponically sprouted cereal grains.

Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for increasing germination and growth in cellulosic material utilizing light signaling is disclosed. A grower system for growing plants and crops provides light signaling treatment through a plurality of lighting elements. The light signaling increases gibberellic acid activity promoting germination, stem elongation, and increasing sugar concentrations.

Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for increasing dry matter in plants is disclosed. A grower system for growing plants and crops provides an aerobic environment by controlling a plurality of environmental factors that decrease environmental stresses surrounding the plants or crops. The decrease in environmental stresses increases hydrolytic enzyme activity and releases additional hydrolytic enzymes. The hydrolytic enzymes breakdown a plurality of complex storage molecules of the plant or crop into simple storage molecules, increasing adenosine triphosphate production, given the plant more energy to increase dry matter.

Abstract: An external reactive oxygen species application system and method for increasing enzyme activity and plant dry matter through the use of reactive oxygen species in hydroponically grown cellulosic materials. The external reactive oxygen species application system disinfects a plurality of seeds with the reactive oxygen species using a liquid applicator at a first concentration during a seed out phase. The reactive oxygen species increases gibberellic acid expression. The liquid applicator applies the reactive oxygen species at a second concentration during the plant development phase increase plant dry matter.

Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for ensiling hydroponically grown cellulosic material is disclosed. A grower system for growing plants and crops provides an aerobic environment by controlling a plurality of environmental factors that decrease environmental stresses surrounding the plants or crops. The decrease in environmental stresses increases hydrolytic enzyme activity and releases additional hydrolytic enzymes. The hydrolytic enzymes breakdown a plurality of complex storage molecules of the plant or crop into simple storage molecules. The breakdown of the plurality of complex storage molecules increases the nutrient availability and dry matter of the ensiled cellulosic material as well as the shelf life of the ensiled cellulosic material.

Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for increasing nutrient digestibility in plants is disclosed. A grower system for growing plants and crops provides an aerobic environment by controlling a plurality of environmental factors that decrease environmental stresses surrounding the plants or crops. The decrease in environmental stresses increases hydrolytic enzyme activity and releases additional hydrolytic enzymes. The hydrolytic enzymes breakdown a plurality of complex storage molecules of the plant or crop into simple storage molecules, increasing the plant's nutrient digestibility.
