<p>An apparatus for making a mixed feed livestock cargo unit suitable for long distance shipping mixes dry fodder such as hay with fermented silage such as haylage in a ratio proportioned to produce a mixed feed product having a net moisture content in the range of approximately 15 % up to about 40 %. The mixed feed product is compressed in a compression apparatus (16) and then sealed for shipment. Preferably, the mixed feed product is compressed directly into an airtight bag at the bottom of a vertical compression chamber (200) in the compression apparatus (16). The dry fodder in one embodiment has a moisture content of approximately 8 % up to about 15 % and the fermented silage has a moisture content of approximately 40 % up to about 70 %.</p> |
