Title: Mixer for animal feed

Abstract: An in-line mixer for animal feed is provided. The mixer receives feeds from a plurality of sources, mixes the feeds in a short distance, and deposits the mixed feed on a conveyor which carries it to animal feeding stations. The mixer includes a housing forming an upright passage containing baffles and rapidly rotating agitator blades which maintain the feeds in a fluidized condition and accomplish the mixing operation in a short time. Consequently, the mixer itself is short and requires relatively little space.
