I am thinking of starting hydroponics fodder project for my domestic animals, any ideas on what type of fertilizer to use? Can normal cow manure be used in such a project? Thanks for any ideas:)

It is possible to use regular fertilizer for hydroponics, but in reality, you shouldn't. Regular fertilizers lack many compounds that purpose-built hydroponic nutrients contain, and they can cause problems at different stages of growth. This is why I always buy from specialized shops, for a while, I only buy from hydroponic nutrients adelaide. Hydroponics wants care so you need to use the best products, to be satisfied with the results. And I totally agree with the comments above, because they are telling some facts that you can easily avoid.
