A material mixing apparatus for mixing a mass of materials to form a feeding ration for animals includes spaced elongated augers within a lower portion of a mixing chamber and spaced elongated agitators within an upper portion of the mixing chamber and having at least two sets of paddles thereon. The augers each have flights thereon to move materials along a bottom portion of the mixing chamber and toward an area of mutual convergence located adjacent a normally closed entrance to a passage having a conveyor therein to discharge mixed materials received from the mixing chamber. The augers and agitators are rotated at different speeds to thoroughly blend the mass of material within the mixing chamber and direct same toward a portion of the mixing chamber between said agitators.
