摘要：
A method for preparing a batch of animal feed from a plurality of ingredients requiring respective predefined mixing periods during a mixing cycle in a mixer/feeder apparatus 1 of the type comprising a mixing compartment 14 within which a mixing rotor is rotatably mounted for mixing the ingredients therein, comprises selecting the ingredient requiring the largest predefined mixing period, determining the duration of the mixing cycle as the predefined mixing period required by the selected ingredient requiring the largest predefined mixing period, determining a plurality of instants at which the respective remaining ingredients are to be loaded into the mixing compartment 14 of the mixer/feeder apparatus 1 during the mixing cycle, each instant of the respective determined instants being determined so that the remaining duration of the mixing cycle at that instant is substantially equal to the predefined mixing period of the corresponding ingredient, loading the selected ingredient with the largest predefined mixing period into the mixing compartment 14 at the commencement of the mixing cycle, and sequentially loading the remaining ingredients into the mixing compartment 14 at respective corresponding determined instants during the mixing cycle.
