Total Mixed Ration Mixer

The Total Mixed Ration Mixer (TMR) is one of the important equipment in modern animal husbandry. Its emergence and wide application have greatly improved the efficiency of feeding management and the health level of animals. This article will provide a detailed introduction to the definition, functions, classification, advantages of the TMR feed mixer, as well as its impact on the breeding industry.

The definition and functions of TMR feed mixer

The TMR feed mixer is a device specifically designed for mixing various feed components. It mixes silage, hay, grains, protein additives, minerals and other nutrients into a uniform composition and then feeds it to livestock to ensure that every bite of food consumed by the animals has the same nutritional value.

The TMR feed mixer is a feed processing equipment used to blend coarse feed, concentrated feed and other raw materials into a complete mixed ration (TMR), and is suitable for livestock farms such as cattle and sheep. This equipment achieves material crushing and mixing through the auger system and moving blades, featuring controllable cutting length and accurate weighing and measurement。

According to the arrangement of the auger, it can be divided into two types: vertical and horizontal . Some models support integrated processing of dry and wet feed, with a processing capacity of up to 2000 jin per hour

Structure and Principle：

The main structure includes the frame, the stirring box, the auger, the reducer, the motor, the pneumatic system and the electronic weighing system. During operation, the materials are cycled and stirred from both ends of the box to the middle through the auger. The moving blades and fixed teeth cooperate to cut fibrous grass materials, achieving the integration of crushing and mixing

Application field：

.Dairy and dairy sheep farms: Precisely proportioned nutritional diets

.Beef cattle and sheep breeding: Improve the utilization rate of roughage, suitable for dairy cattle, dairy sheep, beef cattle, meat sheep and other breeding farms

.Large-scale pig farms: Suitable for feed mixing of cattle, sheep, horses, pigs and other animals

The impact of TMR feed mixer on the animal husbandry industry:

TMR technology enables livestock farms to conduct nutrition monitoring and adjustment more easily. Farmers can adjust the feed formula in a timely manner by observing the performance and health indicators of the animals to ensure that the animals are always in an optimized breeding state. This flexibility is crucial for increasing output and product quality

The TMR feed mixer also helps to reduce the environmental impact during the feeding process. By optimizing feed management, livestock farms can reduce the generation of waste and by-products, thereby lowering the adverse impact on the ecological environment. Efficient feed utilization and waste reduction not only signify economic benefits but also reflect the sustainable development concept of the breeding farm
