Abstract: A hydroponic fodder growing system includes a plurality of upright support members. A plurality of shelves are movably mounted to the upright support members for movement between a generally horizontal position and a tilted position. Each shelf defines a lower side edge when in the tilted position. The system also includes a water supply system that is configured to supply water to fodder disposed on the shelves. A powered conveyor extends below the lower side edges of the shelves when the shelves are tilted, whereby fodder falls off the shelves onto the powered conveyor when the shelves are in the tilted position.
