Changes in the morphology, chemical composition of carbohydrates and fat content of hydroponically grown wheat

\nHydroponics is a method of growing plants without soil, but in water or a nutrient-rich solution. In the hydroponics method, feed is converted from various seeds into high-quality, nutritious, green mass animal feed in a natural environment. Green mass is the main fodder for most farm animals, with a high nutritional value. Wheat grown hydroponically is a food rich in many vitamins and estrogenic substances. The use of this feed is especially important in poultry farming. In our study, changes in the morphology, biomass yield, and chemical composition of hydroponic wheat were studied depending on the growing days. In this article, the chemical composition of hydroponically grown wheat, which is used as a nutritional supplement in broiler chickens’ diet, as well as the quantitative changes of carbohydrates and fat in it, as well as the effect on broiler weight gain, were determined and analyzed. Key words: hydroponics, hydroponic wheat, green biomass, chemical composition, carbohydrate content, fat\n
