Development and Preliminary testing of a Mixing and Pelletizing Machine for Livestock Feeds Production by T.A. Ishola, R.A. Busari, O.S. Aboyeji

“… Agro crop residues such as cereal, stovers and fodders do not individually contain all the nutrients required for the optimum growth of ruminant animals, hence, the need to bring them together to form a balanced diet. A mixing and pelletizing machine was designed and constructed to mix and pelletize pulverized feed materials (elephant grass, wheat bran, cassava peel, molasses, cassava starch, bone meal, maize stover and groundnut cake). …”
