Start an animal feed mill

Maize, soya, bran, fishmeal→Poultry, pig and fish feed

Poultry, pig and fish farmers buy feed every week, and many mix their own. A small mill grinds and mixes to a recipe. Pellets and floating fish feed come next, for farmers who pay more for them.

Bigger, smaller or a different product? Describe it and we plan the line.

Power

Grinders and mixers come with diesel engines or electric motors; pellet machines and extruders often need three-phase. Tell us what you have.

Grow machine by machine

Each machine can be its own order, with its own deposit and instalments. Start with the step that earns, and order the next one from what it brings in.

Starting as a group? Buy it together: each member pays their share from their own phone.

Before you buy

  1. Mouldy maize carries aflatoxin into the feed and harms the birds and fish that eat it. Buy dry grain and check it.
  2. Each animal and age needs its own recipe. Work with a nutritionist or the farmers’ own vet on yours.
  3. Talk to farms near you about what they buy and how often, before you choose how big to start.

Are you ready for the machines?

Tick what you already have in place. What is left shows what to sort out before you order.

  • Agree supply with farmers, aggregators or collectors before you buy machines. A plant waiting for raw material earns nothing.

  • Talk to traders, shops, schools and exporters, and take them samples. Selling is harder than making.

  • Machines need a solid floor, a roof, drainage, and room for raw stock and finished goods.

  • Ask ECG what your site has or can get. We quote machines with a diesel engine or the motor that matches your power.

  • Food plants wash a lot. A storage tank or borehole keeps you working when the supply stops.

  • Start with the machine that earns first. With Landed you pay a deposit, then the rest in any amounts while it ships, with no interest.

  • Register the business with the Office of the Registrar of Companies and get your district assembly’s business permit. Packed food, drinks and cosmetics need FDA Ghana registration.
