I think the section about hydroponics should be deeply expanded. I believe that this information would be very interesting to divulge more about, and that section is simply lacking... (Unsigned comment by User:74.38.108.252 06:01, 28 November 2006)
Would like to see a definition for : "cannon fodder" and "tabloid fodder". (Unsigned comment by User:70.45.97.20 23:00, 8 February 2007)
There have been no comments on this proposal, so I have implemented it, incorporating relevant text from Animal feed and converting that page to a disambig leading here and to Forage. -- Richard New Forest ( talk) 22:21, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:African boy transporting fodder by bicycle edit.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on September 6, 2010. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2010-09-06. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! howcheng { chat} 21:35, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
In the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries: Leaflets Nos. 1 to 100/101 to 200 (ref= http://www.abebooks.co.uk/search/sortby/3/an/Board+Of+Agriculture+/tn/+Leaflets ), it is described that (grinded) eggshell and bran together with weed/greens & maize is a suitable fodder. Eggshell & bran makes sense as calcium will probably need to be provided in great quantities (chickens lay allot of eggs). Also, it's possible that with "bran" they only mean the husks of the grain, again a nutient that is otherwise wasted. Add to the article, could be useful info for sustainable chicken farms. 91.182.187.164 ( talk) 16:12, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
Fodder is defined here as an agricultural product that is provided to domesticated animals. Agriculture, in turn, is defined in terms of cultivated plants. However, tissues from non-cultivated or wild plants are sometimes gathered by people and fed to domesticated animals. In the Indian Himalayas, for example, villagers hike into forest, climb trees, and cut twigs and foliage from oak trees that are then carried back to the village and fed to domesticated cattle. This is not forage, because the animals do not graze it themselves. It is better considered as a type of fodder. I suggest broadening the basic definition of fodder to include either agricultural (cultivated) or wild plant materials that are gathered by people and fed to domesticated animals, and to include the example of oak twigs and foliage from the Indian Himalayas in the examples of types of fodder. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Profwsc ( talk • contribs) 18:25, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
In india fodder plants are grown in between the rabi season and kharif season during the month of march. This season is known as Zaid season. Mohit Fajge ( talk) 13:27, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
