Abstract
Silage production requires a mixture of molasses, inoculum, and water to store forage. Inoculum or microbes is mixed into the forage to inhibit the reproduction of bacteria and organisms that could damage the silage. Silage processing requires workforces to manually prepare and measure liquid additives to formulate the solutions. In MARDI, a machine that accurately mixes an inoculum, water, and molasses has been developed. The machine eliminates the need for manual operation and can reduce the labor involved in preparing a liquid formulation. Besides, the machine enables agricultural input to be handled efficiently. This machine can increase silage production's productivity for ruminant feed preparation. The machine's accuracy is 99.63% for measuring water and inoculum, while 98.58% for measuring molasses solution. The machine's capacity is 30 barrels/hour for preparing a mixture of additive materials into 25 liters of water while 60 – 120 barrels/hour for preparing a mixture of additive materials into a 30kg silage barrel.
