Sep 21, 2020 · A Ugandan customer has a chicken farm with approximately 900,000 chickens and wants to purchase a feed pellet machine to produce pellets by himself. We need to calculate what type of feed pellet machine is needed for 900,000 chickens, whether it is a flat die pellet machine or a ring die pellet machine. First, one chicken needs about 120 grams of chicken feed a day, and 900,000 chickens need 900,000x120g÷1000g=108000kg=108t a day, and the chicken feed pellets needed a day are 108 tons.
