Affordable On-Farm Feed Production for Kenyan Farmers
Take control of your livestock nutrition and cut feed costs by up to 40% with the Milano PT 1500 Pellet Making Machine. Designed for small-scale poultry, dairy, and pig farmers in Kenya, this entry-level pelletizer allows you to convert locally available raw materials like maize bran, wheat bran, sunflower cake, and desmodium into high-quality, nutrient-dense feed pellets.
Powered by a reliable 5hp motor and featuring a robust flat-die design, the PT 1500 processes up to 200kg of feed per hour. It is the perfect investment for zero-grazing units and small agribusinesses in Kiambu, Nakuru, and Meru looking to eliminate middlemen, ensure feed quality, and boost animal growth rates and milk yields.
