  • Vertical feed mill system
    Patent number: 5280859
    Abstract: A portable feed mill system consists of a housing containing a primary constituent tank, a first feed processor positioned to receive output from the primary constituent tank and a second feed processor. The second feed processor is positioned to receive the output from the first feed processor and an optional secondary feed constituent from either an integral or an external secondary feed constituent tank. Because the system is contained in a single housing, it may be remotely manufactured and transported to its final location at a cost far less than the cost of a conventional feed mill.
