Abstract
A system for delivering microingredient feed additives into a feed ration includes a storage hopper with a mixer element attached to an agitator shaft that is configured to agitate a high-moisture feed ingredient in the hopper when the agitator shaft is rotated. A micromachine includes storage containers for storing low-inclusion ingredients, and meters and dispenses precise amounts of selected low-inclusion ingredients without using a fluid carrier. A mixing conveyor receives and mixes the high-moisture feed ingredient and the selected low-inclusion ingredients. The mixing conveyor includes a discharge screw with a rotatable shaft and flighting attached to the shaft, wherein a portion of the flighting positioned below the storage hopper pull the high-moisture feed ingredient from the storage hopper and convey it to a mixing section that receives the selected low-inclusion ingredients dispensed from the micromachine without using a fluid carrier and mixes the low-inclusion ingredients with the feed ingredient.
