Abstract

Excerpts from the Introduction: This study was designed to meet some of these demands for information useful to owners and managers of feed mixing plants in making important decisions affecting operating practices and efficiency. More specifically, this study is concerned with the heart of the feed manufacturing operation, the mixing department. Data for the study were obtained by mail questionnaires and by personal interviews with feed manufacturers in 34 States. This report sets forth in detail the labor and equipment requirements, the investment and operating costs, and standards for labor and equipment usage for a model mixing center with a capacity of 80 tons per 8-hour day and for a model with a 200-ton capacity. The standards are believed attainable by nearly all plant managers.
