Feed Mixer Market Overview
[180 pages] Report on Global Feed Mixer analyses the market size, shares, recent trends, competitive intelligence, and future market outlook. Feed Mixer usage in the blending of ingredients for animal feeds is on the rise. Demand from Farms and Feed Factory in North America’ is booming. The competitive rivalry intensifies with Highline Manufacturing, Groupe Anderson, Supreme International Limited and others operating in the market.
Feed mixing is usually a mechanical or manual process in animal feed industry that involves blending of ingredients in a predefined proportion called formula. A definite weight of the processed mixture includes an assortment of all the ingredients and thus supports in the proper nutrition to the animal. The evolution of large number of feed ingredients and premixes led to the increased need for feed mixers. After the size reduction of different feed components to aid palatability of feed, feed mixers minimize waste and increase the feed quality and volume for targeted livestock requirements. A mechanical mixing process decreases uniform mixture in a minimum time with a minimum cost for overhead, labor and power. Hence it is highly beneficial for small and medium scale feed mills.
Feed Mixer are two types of which are horizontal feed mixture and vertical feed mixer. Though not so common, a horizontal feed mixer is a major benefit of handling wet materials. A typical horizontal field mixer comprises a horizontally laid metal drum comprising a screw auger or paddles that convey materials from one end of the mixture to the other while it is being tumbled within the mixer. On the other hand, a vertical feed mixer consists of a large diameter auger inside a tube in the center of a cylindrical hopper with conical bags. Typically, a vertical mixer completes the mixing cycle within 15 to 20 minutes.

Feed Mixer Market Dynamics
Rising livestock production activities led to the growth of feed mixers
The growing demand for milk and meat led to the continuous growth in animal feed industry. The dairy and beef feed consumption for instance has reached nearly 120 million metric tons each in 2020. The increasing number of livestock stimulates the demand for feed. The growing concern about good and healthy livestock boost demand for high-quality feed products and in proper form. Feed manufacturers and farmers are relying on various types of mixers to achieve the changing requirements in animal feed. Several types of mixers are needed due to the increasing number of farms and feed factories globally. Modern intensive food and feed production methods witnessed a significant quality improvement. The feed mixer helps mix the ingredients properly by providing nutrition to animals, increasing the demand for feed mixers.
Animal feed involves six significant nutrients – protein, fats, water, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. Proportion varies in nutrient specifications for various farm animals, but dietary energy and associated nutrients are sufficiently high to allow animal population to survive in certain environmental conditions within the economic conditions. Nutrients are combined in some proportion that resulting mixture contains specifications for different classes and ages of poultry without waste and at cheapest cost.
The manual method of mixing feed components is usually defined as low output, labor-intensive, less efficient, and unsafe, hence dangerous to health of intended animals. The mechanical mixing method is achieved by using mechanical mixers developed to alleviate the shortcomings associated with the manual method. A good mixing process provides a consistent feed in a minimum time with a minimum power, overhead and labor cost.
High cost and maintenance of feed mixer restrain the market growth
The high upfront cost feed mixers is the primary concern among small scale farmers and this is limiting their adoption. Also, the incompatibility of feed mixers with various types of feeds is another restraint. For instance, dry feed mixers cannot be used for liquid feed, limiting farmers to specific formulations or forcing for additional system. Thus, most of the livestock farmers purchase ready feed products from the market, impacting market growth.
Feed Mixer Market Segmentation Analysis
Horizontal feed mixer is considered as the most viable mixer, both economically and functionally
The horizontal mixer gives a constant superior mix of a broad range of substances from free flow substances to high-density wet material such as liquids, molasses, minerals, plastics chemicals and detergents, animal feed for poultry and cattle, adding vitamins and premixes. Its "U" form body is produced in a strong, heavy-duty structure in painted stainless steel or carbon steel.
The efficient speed and specifically designed agitator produce the horizontal mixer a fast mixing speed with 100% certainty and uniformity. The unloading of the mixer is either done pneumatically or manually through an engaged slide gate or outlet. Mixers are provided with either a low-speed gearbox motor connected to the main shaft with a chain and a speed reducer or a sprocket operated by a motor with a V belt energy.
Global Feed Mixer Market Geographical Share
North America holds the largest market share of feed mixer
North America dominates the market of feed mixers due to increasing awareness about animal nutrition, growing health expenditure in livestock send a rise of the animal population. Moreover, farmers of Canada and U.S. have immediately acquired mechanized feed mixers' total mixed ration processor for feed quality materials. Small farmers have adopted structural modifications to increase farm income by installing advanced animal feed mixers to produce nutritious foodstuff to feed animals. The mixer with more than 20 cubic meters observer high growth, as it allows three auger knives design, particularly in horizontal mixer, which boosts the demand for feed mixer in the region.
