The total investment of the automatic cattle feed processing plant in South Africa project is US$240,000, and RICHI MACHINERY, a professional Chinese feed machinery manufacturer, provides complete equipment and engineering design and construction solutions. The installation period of the entire production line is 60 days. The existing 19m × 6m × 25m plant space is used for compact and reasonable layout to achieve efficient linkage between equipment and seamless connection of feed processes.
As South Africa's agricultural development faces a new era of transformation, the animal feed industry has also ushered in unprecedented opportunities and challenges.
In order to cope with the growing demand for feed brought about by the scale of beef cattle farming, a local agricultural group in Limpopo Province, South Africa, officially launched a landmark project on March 17, 2017 - a fully automatic cattle feed production line construction project with an annual output of 10-12 tons/hour.
This automatic cattle feed plant in South Africa project is not only a strategic extension of the customer's local feed manufacturing layout, but also represents the firm steps of the South African cattle feed industry towards high automation, intelligence and high production capacity.

This client was originally an agricultural enterprise mainly engaged in beef cattle breeding and forage planting, with a stable cattle base and abundant forage resources. However, for a long time, the client mainly relied on external procurement of cattle feed, which not only had large price fluctuations, but also the feed formula could not be accurately controlled, affecting the fattening efficiency and feeding cycle of beef cattle.
As the South African feed industry gradually transitions to modernization, the company is determined to achieve self-production of feed by building its own automatic cattle feed plant in South Africa, enhance feed quality control, reduce breeding costs, and further extend to downstream product sales to expand its influence in the local agricultural supply chain.
This animal feed factory project focuses on the granulation of cattle feed. The planned processed products include powdered feed, 3mm pellets, 5mm pellets and 8mm pellets to meet the nutritional needs of beef cattle at different stages of growth, while providing customized feed products for surrounding small farmers and opening up multiple sales channels.
South Africa is one of the most important agricultural countries in Africa, with a vast corn planting belt and abundant agricultural and sideline product resources. The raw material ratio of this automatic cattle feed plant in South Africa project fully utilizes the advantages of local resources, and mainly uses the following types of raw materials:
Through the combination of localized planting raw materials and imported protein sources, supplemented by professional formula design, the cattle feed factory has strong cost control capabilities and product differentiation competitive advantages.
This automatic cattle feed plant in South Africa project adopts the fully automated feed pelleting process provided by RICHI. Through continuous processing of multiple links such as pre-cleaning, crushing, mixing, conditioning, pelleting, cooling, screening, packaging, etc., it finally achieves efficient and high-quality cattle feed product output.
The cattle feed pellet production process is as follows:
The entire automatic cattle feed plant in South Africa is fully automatically controlled by a computer control system, which can realize fully automatic operation from formula switching, ingredient weighing, crushing and mixing, granulation and packaging, greatly improving production efficiency and operational safety.
The main products of this automatic cattle feed plant in South Africa include:
These products from this automatic cattle feed plant in South Africa are mainly used to meet the customer's own beef cattle breeding base, while radiating small-scale farms and cooperative households in the surrounding areas. South Africa has a strong market demand for high-quality and standardized cattle feed. The customer has established a stable sales network and initially formed a dual-track parallel model of "self-production and self-feeding + market sales".
In order to ensure stable operation and high-quality output, the automatic cattle feed plant in South Africa project selected mature models provided by RICHI based on many years of export experience, including:
These equipments constitute a complete, compact and continuously operated cattle feed pelleting system, making the automatic cattle feed plant in South Africa project one of the most technologically advanced and automated animal feed mills in the area.
The animal feed industry in South Africa started in the 1930s. After more than 80 years of development, it has formed a relatively complete industrial structure. According to data from the South African Feed Manufacturers Association, the annual feed production in China is stable at around 3.5 million tons, of which cattle feed accounts for an important proportion. Especially with the intensive development of beef and dairy cattle farming, the dependence on high-quality and standardized cattle feed is increasing.
As the largest corn producing area in Africa, South Africa has significant raw material advantages, rich pasture resources, sufficient technical personnel, and the government's encouraging policies on agricultural modernization, which provide a good environment for the continued operation and profitability of cattle feed mills. As climate change brings about pasture fluctuations, pelletized feed has outstanding advantages in storage and nutritional stability, and market acceptance is increasing year by year.
Especially in agricultural areas such as Limpopo Province and Free State Province, cattle feed plants similar to this automatic cattle feed plant in South Africa project have not only improved the stability of the local beef industry chain, but also enhanced the ability to convert agricultural products into added value, and are expected to become a new fulcrum for regional economic growth.
Looking back on the entire process of this cattle livestock feed production line project, the customer's repeated inspections, site selection evaluation, equipment selection, process optimization, strict supervision during construction, and full participation in installation and commissioning reflect its ultimate pursuit of quality and efficiency.
After the animal feed production line project is completed, it not only frees the customer from the uncertainty of external feed supply, but also greatly reduces labor costs, improves formula accuracy and finished product consistency through advanced automation systems.
At present, the cattle feed factory has achieved an average daily production capacity of more than 200 tons, and its products are sold to many surrounding provinces. In the future, the customer plans to introduce a liquid addition system and an RFID traceability system on the original basis, and prepare to build a raw material pretreatment center to adapt to the application trend of diversified feed raw materials.
This automatic cattle feed plant in South Africa project not only improved the client's own market position, but also provided a modern model worthy of reference for the South African feed industry. It also once again verified the replicability and vitality of the investment concept of "using technology to promote benefits and using systems to seek development" in developing economies.
