Ethiopia is a country with largest livestock population in Africa and with a huge livestock genetic diversity. In the second Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP), Ethiopian government has identified livestock sector as a new source of economic growth. The rationale in using livestock sector as a growth driver emanates from the unexploited potential of the sector and a wide range of agro-industries to be created along the path of market led economy and commercialization.

In general, the feed sub-sector is central for all livestock commodities and is a key pillar of livestock growth and transformation from various perspectives. From production point of view, animal production is essentially a conversion of feed into animal product dictating the level of production and product quality and safety. From economic point of view about 70 percent of the cost of animal production is feed and suggesting economic feasibility of animal agriculture is mainly a function of quantity or quality of nutrients and the science of feeding. Thus feed is a point of convergence and a critical commodity for which all livestock species compete and it is a major pillar towards ensuring economic, social and environmental goals of livestock production.

The animal feed pellet production line equipment exported by Herm Machinery to Ethiopia mainly produces poultry feed. The customer stated that if suitable animal feed is now available, the output of chicken (layers) will increase by 98%. Other animals, such as poultry fed on processed feed, may weigh more than traditionally fed animals.

"Our aim is to produce high quality animal feeds at reasonable prices...this will increase productivity. Farmers' livelihoods will improve as they sell their crops to the factory and at the same time use the well processed feeds for their animals," said the project factory manager.

The raw materials of Ethiopia 1-2 tons per hour small output fully automatic poultry chicken compact feed plant project are mainly corn, wheat, soybean meal and other grains. The required feed pellet size is 2mm and 4mm. Because this is a small-scale feed pellet line, the installation was completed in 10 days under the guidance of Herm's mechanical engineer. The equipment hosts required for this 1-2 t/h animal feed pellet machine line are as follows:

Main Machine

No.	Machine	Power
1	Feed Hammer mill	11 kw
2	Mixer	3 kw
3	Feed pellet machine	22 kw
4	Cooling machine	0.93 kw
5	crumbler machine	5.5 kw
6	screen machine	0.25 kw
