<![CDATA[General Background Efficient animal feed processing technologies are critical to sustainable livestock farming and food security. Specific Background Traditional feed processing relies on separate machinery for forage fermentation and feed compaction, increasing operational costs and processing time. Knowledge Gap Although silage fermentation and pelletization individual mechanics are well understood, integrated processing systems combining both mechanisms continuously remain insufficiently explored. Aims This study analyzes the technical, mechanical, and economic feasibility of integrating a silage machine with a pellet machine into a unified livestock feed processing system. Results Technical testing reveals that continuous integration accelerates production workflows, maintains silage nutritional integrity, and reduces labor and material handling expenses. Novelty A combined silage-pellet mechanical framework offers a single-stage continuous workflow utilizing local raw materials. Implications Integrating silage and pellet technologies provides Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) with a practical strategy to enhance feed quality, lower operational expenses, and ensure supply continuity. Key Findings Highlights Integrated mechanical processing accelerates livestock feed production time while reducing labor costs. Direct coupling of fermentation and compaction preserves silage nutritional value in uniform pellet forms. Moisture adjustment prior to pelletization optimizes mechanical throughput and pellet structural integrity.
