Fodder to hit the US

January 20, 2010




Toowoomba-based Fodder Solutions has secured a deal to supply one of its innovative livestock feeding systems to the Southern California Riding Club.



Fodder Solutions is the driving force behind a high-quality feeding system which sprouts grain and legume seeds as a nutritious and cost effective livestock feed.



Following success in drought-affected Australian regions, it has exported its systems to South Korea, Turkey, South Africa, New Zealand, UK, Ireland and the US.



Queensland Premier Anna Bligh offered her congratulations to the business yesterday while attending a US demonstration as part of the G'DAY USA: Australia Week Campaign.



"Fodder Solutions recently installed one of its hydroponic biomass growing chambers here at the Southern California Riding Club for international Grand Prix rider, Misti Cassar, to provide feed for her 6 performance horses,” Bligh says.



"I congratulate Fodder Solutions on this export success. The company's US sales have been achieved with assistance from the Government's TradeStart Export Advisor in Toowoomba, as well as in market assistance from Trade Queensland in Los Angeles,” she says.



Fodder Solutions President Terry Colless (pictured), who demonstrated the Southern California Riding Club system in operation during the Premier's visit, says the company is thrilled with its performance.



"Not only is it producing low cost, reliable feed, but it is also delivering dramatic health improvements in the horses," Colless says.



"Misty Cassar tells me that after just a few weeks on Fodder Solutions feed her horses’ hooves look much better, their coats have improved and they are generally happier, stronger animals," he says.
