Poultry/Cattle Feed Grinder
-
Brief Info
In many rural and peri-urban areas, livestock owners face challenges in accessing affordable, fresh, and appropriately sized animal feed. Commercial feed is often expensive, not tailored to local needs, and involves high transportation costs. To address this, a locally manufacturable and easy-to-operate Poultry/Cattle Feed Grinder has been developed to empower farmers and self-help groups (SHGs) with the ability to produce high-quality feed at the village level.
This machine is fabricated using durable MS (Mild Steel) iron and powered by a robust 3 HP or 5 HP single-phase AC induction motor, suitable for areas with limited commercial power supply. It is equipped with three interchangeable sieves, allowing farmers to produce feed in three sizes – small, medium, and large – suitable for poultry chicks, hens, goats, or large cattle. The design ensures uniform grinding and reduces wastage, making it ideal for small dairy farms, poultry units, or integrated farming systems.
Beyond reducing dependency on external feed suppliers, this innovation enhances income generation by enabling bulk feed production using local ingredients such as maize, soybean, broken grains, and bran. The machine requires minimal maintenance, is safe to operate, and helps ensure the nutritional needs of animals are met more consistently and economically. It is also a suitable intervention for rural entrepreneurship, especially for women’s groups and FPOs.
Market: Suitable for dairy farms, poultry units, integrated farming systems, SHGs, FPOs, and rural entrepreneurship in livestock feed preparation.
