How Does the Feed Mixer Work?

First, dry and roughage can be thrown into the machine, then dry alfalfa and similar forages are chopped. Since dry grass is primarily crumbled when thrown into the machine and loses its roughage feature, attention is paid to the order, and friable forages are added last.

Feeds that are difficult to chop and more humid must be put into the machine as a priority in order for them to be shredded better. With the addition of dry factory feeds to the machine, granular feeds and pulp are also added to the mixture. In order for concentrated feeds to be easy to digest, care must be taken during the mixing and chopping time. Feed additives can be added to the machine after concentrated feeds or feed additives can be poured onto the feed during service. At the last stage, wet feeds such as Forage Harvester are thrown into the machine, and the process is completed without reducing it too much and without losing its roughage feature.

The mixing time of the feeds varies depending on the machine type and feed type.

What are the Feed Mixer Models?

Feed mixer models differ as horizontal auger and vertical auger. Depending on the portability, there are models that are fixed, self-propelled and can be attached to the tractor via the drawbar. The most appropriate selection should be made according to the scale of the enterprise, the number of animals available and the types of feed to be used.
