A feed mixing and dispensing apparatus (1, 100, 40) comprising at least one container (2) mountable on a transport means (3), the container (2) having a longitudinal axis (4), a transverse axis (5) and a vertical axis (6), a pair of opposite end walls (7), a pair of opposite side walls (8) and a base wail (9) and a top opening (10). The longitudinal axis (4) extends substantially parallel to the direction of travel of the container (2), The transverse axis (5) is substantially perpendicular to the direction of the travel of the container (2). A mixing shaft (1 1 ) connected to a drive means is rotatably mounted inside the container (2) and comprises mixing members (12) for breaking up and mixing the feed. The mixing shaft (1 1 ) extends between the side wails (8) substantially- perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (4) of the container (2). A feed discharge arrangement (14) is provided for discharging the mixed feed from the container (2). The large diameter mixing members allows for large round or square bales or other feed material to be directly dropped into the apparatus for shredding and mixing and the mixed feed to be discharged at higher discharge heights than conventional feeder machines.
