ABSTRACT:
A system for germinating livestock feed grains and growing sprouts therefrom using a plant nutritive effluent from a manure treatment process includes a germination tray conveyor having an endless sequence of trays thereon, a grain deposit station at one end of the conveyor, a sprout offload station at an opposite end of the conveyor, and a plurality of effluent spray stations spaced between the grain deposit station and the offload station. Grain is deposited in a tray at the deposit station, solenoid spray valves are opened at timed intervals, and the trays are advanced to the next station in a timed sequence to allow the grains to germinate and the sprouts to mature by the time each tray reaches the offload station.
