Livestock Feed Grinders Compared

Grinding your own feed ensures freshness and source verification. We offer two powered units—the Bravo and the Ercolino. They are made in Europe by a worldwide leader in equipment for small poultry flocks. They are a very good value. Similar units from other sources are over $1,900.

Both grinders share these features:

• Very safe hopper design that prevents items from accidentally sliding down into the grinder’s blades
• If the bolts securing the front cover are removed or loose, the motor will stop—and won’t restart until the bolts are in place and tight
• Limited assembly is required (e.g. attaching legs)

Fineness and quickness of the grind…

Both the Bravo and the Ercolino use a hammermill system.

• The Bravo with the optional 1mm sieve produces a very fine grind, sufficient as a course flour
• The Ercolino will grind ear corn and produces cob meal through its 8mm sieve
• The Ercolino processes feed much faster than the Bravo—due to its larger motor
