1. A feed mill system comprising:
- a primary constituent tank;
a first feed processor positioned to receive output from the primary constituent tank;
at least one secondary constituent tank;
a batching hopper means structurally aligned with the first feed processor to receive output therefrom, and structurally aligned with the secondary constituent tank to receive therefrom output which bypasses the first feed processor;
a second feed processor structurally aligned with the batching hopper means to receive output therefrom; and
a common portable housing for the primary constituent tank, the first feed processor, the second feed processor, the batching hopper means, and the secondary constituent tank.

Abstract
A portable feed mill system consists of a housing containing a primary constituent tank, a first feed processor positioned to receive output from the primary constituent tank and a second feed processor. The second feed processor is positioned to receive the output from the first feed processor and an optional secondary feed constituent from either an integral or an external secondary feed constituent tank. Because the system is contained in a single housing, it may be remotely manufactured and transported to its final location at a cost far less than the cost of a conventional feed mill.

19. A feed mill system comprising:
-
a primary constituent tank; a first feed processor positioned to receive output from the primary constituent tank; a second feed processor structured to discharge output at a location below and in substantial vertical alignment with the primary constituent tank and the first feed processor; means for transferring a primary constituent from the first feed processor to the second feed processor; and means for introducing at least one secondary constituent to the second feed processor, and a common portable housing for the primary constituent tank, the first feed processor, the second feed processor, the means for transferring the primary constituent from the first feed processor to the second feed processor and the means for introducing at least one secondary constituent to the second feed processor. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
