This is a project for a cow feed pellet machine in Botswana. The client, a medium-scale feed manufacturer servicing both dairy and beef cattle farms throughout Botswana, opted to purchase a standalone cow feed pellet machine to boost production efficiency and pellet quality.

This is a project for a cow feed pellet machine in Botswana. In Botswana’s expanding livestock industry, a local feed mill dedicated to producing high-quality cattle feed decided to upgrade its pelletizing capabilities. The client, a medium-scale feed manufacturer servicing both dairy and beef cattle farms throughout Botswana, opted to purchase a standalone cow feed pellet machine to boost production efficiency and pellet quality.
Rather than investing immediately in a complete cattle feed production line, the client chose a single pelletizer to replace outdated equipment that limited throughput and product consistency. This standalone pellet mill forms a crucial part of their feed processing system, providing flexibility and targeted improvements without disrupting ongoing operations.
Name:
cow food machine
Country:
Botswana
Date:
2025
Capacity:
3-4 tons per hour
Model:
SZLH320
MAIN POWER:
37 kW
Pellet Diameter:
2-12 mm
Raw Material:
75-80% grain, 20-25% forage
Botswana’s cattle feed formulations largely depend on locally available cereal grains such as maize and sorghum, combined with crop residues and some natural pasture grasses. Due to the semi-arid climate and seasonal forage variability, the feed composition typically contains approximately 75-80% grain and 20-25% forage or roughage.
Considering the client’s production scale and the grain-heavy feed formula, the SZLH320 cow grain feed pellet machine from RICHI Machinery’s product line was selected:
This model balances production capacity with energy efficiency, ideal for Botswana’s medium-sized feed mills aiming to meet growing local demand.
The SZLH320 cow feed pellet machine in Botswana is designed for processing grain-based cattle feed pellets suitable for both beef and dairy cattle. It improves pellet durability and nutritional availability, which are critical to boosting livestock growth rates and milk yields in Botswana’s farming conditions.
While primarily used for cow feed, the client also processes small quantities of pellets for sheep and goats. However, this pelletizer does not produce floating aquatic feeds or pet food, which require specialized extrusion technology.
The conditioning system allows precise control over pellet moisture and size, enabling production of feed tailored to different cattle life stages and improving feed conversion efficiency.
Botswana faces challenges such as limited forage availability during dry seasons and dependence on maize imports. The client’s feed formulation includes about 20-25% natural roughage (local grasses and crop residues) and 75-80% grains, mainly maize and sorghum, reflecting local agricultural realities.
The SZLH320 cow pellet machine’s sturdy build and advanced conditioning ensure consistent pellet quality despite raw material variability. This ensures reliable feed supply for Botswana’s dairy and beef sectors while helping the client reduce feed waste and improve animal performance.
The client’s decision to select RICHI Machinery was influenced by:
RICHI’s experience and commitment to the African feed market made it the preferred partner.
Choosing to invest in a standalone cow feed pellet machine in Botswana allowed the client to:
This approach suits many feed producers in emerging markets like Botswana.
These services ensure long-term client success with RICHI pellet machines.
This cow feed pellet machine in Botswana case demonstrates how a carefully selected pelletizer matched to local feedstock and production needs can significantly enhance feed quality and operational efficiency. The SZLH320 cattle feed pellet making machine provides a robust, energy-efficient solution for medium-sized feed mills, empowering Botswana’s livestock sector to meet rising demand.
