Uzbekistan Best Price 3-5T/H Chicken Feed Plant

From Idea to Execution: A Year of Planning

The initial talks with RICHI started in February 2018. The family wanted a system that wasn't just about saving money — it had to lift the quality of their feed to match the evolving expectations of Uzbekistan's poultry industry. Broilers in the local market now command better prices if they're grown on consistent, nutritious feed — buyers want birds with good meat yield, healthy appearance, and shorter cycles.

The contract was finalized on November 23rd, 2018. After careful calculation, they decided on a line with a flexible capacity of 3-5 tons per hour. This output was just right: large enough to feed their own 40,000–50,000 broilers per cycle, but not so big as to overburden their existing staff or resources. RICHI's engineers assured them that with a modest footprint, the line could fit within a 200-square-meter extension to their existing storage barn.

What Raw Materials Power This chicken feed manufacturing plant in Uzbekistan?

In Urgench, feed grains and protein meals are mostly sourced locally. The main ingredient is always corn — grown right in the Khorezm oasis region, where the Amu Darya River feeds some of Uzbekistan's best irrigated croplands. The farm also purchases wheat bran from nearby flour mills and oilseed by-products like sunflower meal and cottonseed cake — both abundant in Uzbekistan’s vast cotton-growing areas.

The final standard broiler ration looks roughly like this: 55% corn, 18% wheat bran, 12% sunflower meal, 8% cottonseed meal, and 7% soybean meal, plus trace mineral premix, limestone, dicalcium phosphate, salt, amino acids, and a functional additive blend. This formula helps them produce a pellet that supports quick growth, balanced gut health, and a high meat-to-bone ratio — all critical factors for broilers destined for local butcher shops.

A Simple but Effective Feed Process Flow

Designing a poultry feed production line for small and medium poultry farms is all about balancing automation with flexibility. For this 3-5 t/h chicken feed manufacturing plant in Uzbekistan, RICHI recommended a straightforward line with a hammer mill for grinding, a horizontal mixer for blending, a ring die feed pellet mill for forming the pellets, a counterflow cooler, and an automatic packing system.

1. The raw corn and other grains are first passed through a magnet separator to catch any metal impurities — a step often skipped on small farms but crucial for protecting machinery. Next, the grains go through a 22 kW hammer mill that crushes them to about 2-3mm. This fine grind ensures the starches are easily digested by the broilers.
2. Once ground, the meal enters the SLHY twin-shaft paddle mixer, which can blend around 500 kg per batch. Here, oil, vitamins, and micro-ingredients are added. Uniform mixing is critical: uneven feed means some birds get too much or too little protein, affecting flock health and uniformity at market.
3. The conditioned mash then moves to the SZLH 350 ring die poultry feed pellet machine — the heart of the operation. This 37 kW pelletizer presses the mash through a steel die under heat and pressure, forming solid, durable 3-4mm pellets.
4. The hot chicken pellets are still fragile and moist, so they pass into the SKLN11*11 counterflow cooler, which gently lowers their temperature and moisture content. A vibrating sieve removes any fines or broken pellets, which are recycled back into the process.
5. Finally, the finished pellets are weighed and bagged automatically — usually in 40kg woven sacks — ready for short-term storage or direct feeding.

Main Equipment Configuration

Below is a snapshot of the core chicken feed making machines used in this chicken feed manufacturing plant in Uzbekistan project, all supplied by RICHI:

The entire animal feed production line, from unloading raw grains to bagging finished pellets, can be run by 4–5 people per shift. Installation only took 10 days, even though the team faced unexpected challenges like language barriers and local power fluctuations. RICHI's engineers provided on-site technical training so that within a week of handover, the farm's operators could troubleshoot common issues themselves.

How the Feed is Used — And Where the Extra Goes

Most of the feed produced is consumed by the farm's own broiler sheds, which cycle flocks year-round. However, the farm intentionally designed the chicken feed plant to have some excess capacity — about 30% above what they need for internal use. This gives them the flexibility to sell surplus feed to neighbors.

Smaller local farmers who don't have their own mills benefit greatly: they get fresh, high-quality pellets delivered nearby at a fair price — no more relying on distant suppliers with minimum order sizes.

As word spread that the family's feed was clean, consistent, and well-formulated for the region’s climate, several nearby growers arranged standing orders, providing a healthy secondary income stream that helps repay the initial investment.

Feed for the Future: The Bigger Picture

Uzbekistan's poultry industry has been evolving quickly in the past decade. While beef and lamb remain staples in Uzbek cuisine, chicken consumption is on the rise — it's more affordable for families and meets growing urban demand for lean protein.

However, traditional feed supply chains can't keep pace with this demand. Many older feed plants operate with outdated equipment, inconsistent raw material sources, and limited flexibility for specialty formulas. Modern feed lines, like the one installed for this Urgench family, represent a shift toward smaller, decentralized production. Instead of depending on one massive feed mill in Tashkent or Andijan, dozens of local farms can now produce tailored feed near their flocks.

There's also a shift toward “functional” or “fortified” poultry feeds. More Uzbek poultry producers want feed that supports gut health, boosts immunity, and improves feed conversion ratios — especially during the cold winters and hot summers that can stress flocks.

By controlling their own formulations and using modern pelletizing processes, small farmers can experiment with enzyme blends, probiotics, or herbal additives to differentiate their birds in the local market.

Numbers That Speak for Themselves

The total investment for the 3-5 t/h chicken feed manufacturing plant in Uzbekistan, including delivery and installation, came in at $63,000 USD — a cost that depends on whether buyers choose extra automation or keep more manual handling to save costs upfront.

Considering local market feed prices, Kasimov's family calculated that they’d break even on their investment in about 2.5 years just from savings on buying external feed alone — not counting additional revenue from selling surplus feed. When you factor in the better weight gain and faster turnaround of healthier birds, the numbers look even better.

A Partner for the Long Term

Since completing this chicken feed manufacturing plant in Uzbekistan project in February 2019, the farm has continued to work with RICHI for spare parts, wear-and-tear checks, and occasional upgrades — like adding a small premix unit for micronutrients last year.

RICHI's local support has also made it easier for the farm to comply with new Uzbek food safety standards, which are gradually tightening as the country aims for more export-ready poultry products.

Conclusion: One Farm, Many Lessons

This 3-5 t/h chicken feed manufacturing plant in Uzbekistan is more than just a line of shiny new machinery. It's proof that small family farms can modernize step by step — not with massive factories but with practical, flexible systems sized for their land, animals, and local conditions.

For anyone watching from the outside, it's a story worth noting: when local knowledge and international engineering come together, a family farm can transform not just its balance sheet but its place in the community.

If you're considering building your own chicken feed factory — whether for chickens, cattle, or even fish — this animal feed factory project shows that you don't need to wait for “someday.” With the right partner, you can make it happen now. And RICHI Machinery is ready to help you every step of the way.

Is it your turn to take control of your feed? Just ask — we'll build it with you.
