India has large population of draught animals and bullocks are main draft animals in the country followed by he-buffaloes. This study is to be focus on feasibility testing of mini rice mill operation in animal driven rotary mode system for operating mini rice mill. A study was conducted for operating a mini rice mill with the help of a rotary gear complex, installed in the premises of Swami Vivekananda College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology and Research Station, Faculty of Agricultural Engineering, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur (CG). The experiment was conducted continuously for 3 hours with the measurement of milling efficiency, milling rate and cost of operation and compared with electric operated mini rice mill and physiological responses of bullocks like respiration rate, pulse rate, body temperature and fatigue score of experimental bullocks in operations of rice milling were recorded. | Feasibility testing of mini rice mill operation in animal driven rotary mode system
