Feed processing equipment prepares and delivers rations for beef feedlot, dairy and hog operations, including TMR and self-propelled feed mixers, liquid feeding systems, grinders, roller mills and turnkey feed mill installations. FarmPages lists the feed processing suppliers, dealers and manufacturers in this category, so you can compare equipment for your herd size and contact suppliers directly for quotes.Compare mixer capacity against batch size and ration density, vertical versus horizontal mixing, self-propelled versus pull-type, automation and scale accuracy, and installation and parts support. Most listed suppliers are in Ontario, with others in Manitoba and Alberta. Listings include Siloking Canada Ltd., which offers the SelfLine 4.0 feeding system, DeWetering Agri, a liquid feeding distributor, and COFCO E&T Co., Ltd., which supplies turnkey feed systems.Related categories: Livestock Equipment & Pasture Management · Livestock Feeders & Augers · Fencing · Shelters · Pasture Management
Answers for farmers comparing feed processing equipment suppliers and dealers on FarmPages.
Vertical mixers handle long hay and whole round bales well and have fewer moving parts. Horizontal reel or auger mixers blend wetter and finer rations evenly and often sit lower for loading under some feeders. The right choice depends on your forage mix, barn layout and loading equipment, so ask listed suppliers for demonstrations with your own rations before deciding.
Work out batch size from head count, ration weight per head and the number of batches you want to mix each day. Then convert that weight to volume using the ration's density, because forage-heavy rations take up far more space than grain-heavy ones. Avoid sizing to run the mixer at full capacity. Listed suppliers can run the numbers for your herd.
A self-propelled mixer loads, mixes and delivers feed with one machine and one operator, freeing up a tractor and loader and saving time on large herds. It costs more to buy and maintain than a pull-type mixer. Compare the time saved each day against the price difference, and ask listed suppliers about service support and parts availability in your area.
Browse the Feed Processing Equipment listings on FarmPages; most listed suppliers are in Ontario, with others in Manitoba and Alberta. Contact a few about demonstrations, installation, local service technicians and parts stock. For larger projects such as liquid feeding or a complete feed system, ask for a site visit and a written layout before committing.
