Abstract

A method and apparatus for making animal feedstuff comprising germinated grain comprises mixing the grain with a water absorbent polymeric material, such as a cross-linked acrylamide polymer, and water and employing the polymer as a source of water for germination of the grain. Preferably, grain and polymer are soaked in water before mixing. The grain and polymer mixture is formed into a layer on a conveyor having perforations to admit air to the layer of plant material. Germination conditions are maintained on the conveyor. The conveyor is driven continuously or stepwise to provide a suitable residence time e.g. 4 days for the plant material to form into a mat. The mat is discharged continuously or batchwise at an unloading station, cut up, and fed directly to animals such as cattle.
