This is a project about a hammer mill for cattle feed in Nigeria. A large-scale feed mill located near Kaduna, a major agricultural hub in northern Nigeria, sought to enhance its cattle feed production by upgrading its grinding capacity.

This is a project about a hammer mill for cattle feed in Nigeria. Nigeria’s cattle farming industry is expanding rapidly due to increasing domestic demand for beef and dairy products. This growth drives the need for reliable feed production equipment that can process local fibrous materials into nutritious, digestible feed. A large-scale feed mill located near Kaduna, a major agricultural hub in northern Nigeria, sought to enhance its cattle feed production by upgrading its grinding capacity.
The client, a well-established feed mill supplying cattle feed to commercial farms and smallholder cattle producers, chose to purchase a single hammer mill—specifically, a cattle feed grinding machine. The mill already operated an integrated cattle feed production line with mixers and cattle feed pellet making machines but needed to replace its outdated pulverizer, which limited the feed quality and production efficiency. This single machine purchase was a strategic upgrade to ensure smoother processing of local roughages without disrupting existing operations.
Name:
cattle feed grinder
Country:
Nigeria
Date:
2025
Capacity:
3.0 to 4.0 tons per hour
Model:
SFSP66*100
Main Motor Power:
110 kW
Rotating Speed:
2980 rpm
Hammer Line Speed:
103 m/s
Considering the mill's daily production capacity of about 30-35 tons of compound cattle feed and the percentage of fibrous roughage used (about 40%), the SFSP66*100 model feed crusher machine was selected. Key specifications include:
This model balances high throughput and energy efficiency, perfectly suited to meet the feed mill’s throughput and processing requirements for fibrous feedstocks.
Nigeria’s cattle feed formulations heavily rely on locally available forage such as Guinea grass (Panicum maximum) and maize stalks, which are by-products of Nigeria's extensive maize cultivation. These fibrous materials are abundant and affordable, but their coarse texture requires efficient pulverization to improve feed digestibility.
The SFSP66*100 hammer mill processes a mix of 70% Guinea grass and 30% maize stalks, pulverizing them to a particle size of about 2-4 mm. This fine grinding optimizes rumen fermentation, nutrient absorption, and enhances pellet formation in subsequent feed processing stages.
The pulverized feedstock is blended with protein sources like soybean meal and mineral additives to produce balanced compound feed pellets suitable for both dairy and beef cattle.
The SFSP66*100 hammer mill provides several advantages to the feed mill:
All RICHI machinery shipped to Nigeria is transported by sea and arrives at the Port of Lagos, Nigeria’s busiest and most modern seaport. The port's excellent infrastructure facilitates smooth customs clearance and timely delivery, allowing rapid integration of the hammer mill into the feed mill’s workflow.
Since installing the SFSP66*100 hammer mill, our grinding process has become more reliable and efficient. The machine handles Guinea grass and maize stalks with no clogging or downtime, which our old grinder couldn't manage. Pulverizing to a consistent particle size improved pellet quality and cattle acceptance. RICHI’s team provided excellent installation support and operator training, making the transition seamless. The energy efficiency also helped reduce our operating expenses. We’re confident this investment will support our expansion plans.
RICHI Machinery enjoys a strong reputation among Nigerian feed producers for:
The SFSP66*100 hammer mill stands out as a reliable and efficient solution for large-scale feed mills in Nigeria, capable of processing fibrous forages like Guinea grass and maize stalks into high-quality cattle feed. The combination of high capacity, energy efficiency, and robust construction makes it a worthwhile investment for feed mills aiming to improve product quality and operational efficiency.
