3.3 Design consideration
The following design consideration were taken into account during the design stage to ensure an efficient and effective forage chopping machine.
i. The height of the machine (average height of human is considered): The machine height should be of average height of human being for efficient operation.
ii. The power required for transmission: The engineering properties of the fodder was considered as to assist in determining the power requirement of the machine
iii. The strength of the machine(chopper): The machine must be reliable and strong enough to perform useful efficiency, hence the materials used for the machine was strong.
iv. The speed of the machine should be at optimum speed: The speed of the machine must not be too high and must not be too low. It should be at optimum speed for effective work.

CHAPTER ONE - [ Total Page(s): 2 ]CHAPTER ONEINTRODUCTION1.1 Preamble Animal feedstuff is a very importance aspect of livestock husbandry as it is a major limiting factor in the rearing of animal to meet the increasing demand for animal protein, milk, hides and skill and other sub-Saharan African countries for the nomadic fulanis and pastoralist to allow the animal graze freely in the fields, in most cases after harvest (Umanna and Asishi, 1988; 1985.In some cases the animal rearers collect the crop residues home to feed t ...

CHAPTER TWO - [ Total Page(s): 4 ]Principle of Forage ChopperForage chopper is a size reduction process which can be done by pushing or forcing a thin sharp knife through the material to be chopper. When forage crop are used as feeds for animals, size of the fodder (forage) must be reduced as much as possible to aid proper feeding and palatabilityThe grinding performance and physical properties of wheat, barley straw, corn stove and switch grass were studied by (main at al., 2004). They showed that switch grass had highest speci ... Continue reading---
