The  design  computations  to  handle  a  400 Kg  mass  of  feed and 4 L of fermented liquid. The machine was tested using afeed components divided into 170 kg for Maize bran, 120 kg for bran, 2 kg for mineral, 136  kg  for  Bone  meal , 2  kg  for  Salt and 4L fermented liquid replicated twice at four mixing durations of 4, 8, 12 and 16 min. The perfect homogenious mixing was got in 16 min
