Abstract: An apparatus for the continuous manufacture of a mixed fodder comprises a stationary drum having an infeed opening for straw bales at one end of the peripheral drum wall and an outlet for finished fodder mix at the opposite end. Centrally of the drum there rotates a shaft which carries chopping means in the region of the infeed opening and mixing means in a subsequent longitudinal section. For introducing solid additives there are provided one or more openigns at the first mentioned end of the drum. A liquid binding agent can be supplied through the hollow shaft and be sprayed through nozzles secured in the section of the shaft which carries the mixing means. Further liquid constituents may, if desired, be supplied from the opposite shaft end and be sprayed through other nozzles in the shaft. The apparatus is very compact because all constituents are introduced into the drum and processed and mixed therein. It has a low power consumption and it delivers a very homogeneous mixture.
