Cattle are where we started and where we lead. But sprouting's biggest chemical change — a 92–97% reduction in phytate — matters most in animals without a rumen. Our equine, swine and poultry programs, and the pellet and powder formats behind them, are built on that fact.
A consistent, digestible sprouted-grain energy source without the labor of on-farm fodder trays.
Equine program →
Phytate reduction means more available phosphorus and minerals in the diet.
Swine program →
Powdered and pelleted formats for layer, broiler and turkey rations.
Poultry program →Horse owners already pay for dried sprouted barley in pelleted form. NovaGreens™ equine pellets deliver the same sprouted-grain nutrition in a bagged, shelf-stable format — consistent lot to lot, no trays, no daily growing, no mould risk.
Equine performance outcomes are measured in our equine feeding programs and reported as they are documented. We do not make health claims for horses that have not been tested.
Phytate binds phosphorus and minerals in raw grain. Pigs lack the rumen microbes that break it down, so raw-grain phosphorus passes through — into the manure and the nutrient-management plan. Sprouting cuts phytate by 92–97%, and the change survives drying.
The same phytate argument applies to layers, broilers and turkeys. NovaGreens™ powder mixes into mash and pelleted rations as a supplemental sprouted-grain energy ingredient, with the mineral-availability benefit of sprouting built in.
Research in young ruminants found that sprouted barley increased rumen papillae height, width and surface area alongside more amylolytic and cellulolytic bacteria. Rumen development is the whole calf-starter value proposition. A NovaGreens™ calf-starter formulation is in trial design now.
Sprouted barley dried to ~88% DM. Bulk, tote and 50 lb bag. The cattle product, available now for trials.
Pelleted for equine and bagged retail; powdered for swine and poultry feed mills. In development.
The concentrated liquid pressed from the fresh sprout mat — a high-sugar, high-energy ingredient for monogastric and specialty rations. In development.
