FM
⚙ Production Capacity: 210–1,008 lbs/day
Factory-assembled and tested, ready-to-grow hydroponic fodder production units. Operational on arrival. Connect utilities, load seeds and begin producing within hours.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
FODDER MACHINES
FM Fodder Machines are fully enclosed, complete hydroponic fodder production units. Each system is factory assembled and factory tested before shipment. The unit is delivered in three components: insulated grow chamber, irrigation unit, and climate control module. No on-site fabrication is required. Assemble the three components, connect utilities, load seeded trays, and begin production within hours of delivery.
Daily operation follows a simple seven day tray rotation. Seeded trays are loaded once per day, and one day’s portion of trays is harvested each day, creating a continuous and predictable fresh fodder supply.
The FM series represents Agritom’s most widely deployed system type globally, operating across diverse climates, livestock species, and farm environments.
FM units must be installed under a roofed or sheltered structure. If installed indoors, the space should be adequately ventilated.

OPERATIONS THAT DEPLOY FM
FM Series machines are deployed across a wide range of livestock operations globally. Their self-contained design makes them the natural starting point for any operation evaluating controlled feed production for the first time, and the most practical solution for equine facilities and premium farms where simplicity and reliability are the priority.
- Dairy operations — commercial and mid-scale herds
- Equine performance stables and breeding farms
- Beef and feedlot operations
- Small ruminant and specialty livestock farms
- Premium output producers — organic, artisan, grass-fed
