The available machinery for chop making have been tried to chop the arecanut sheath into suitable fodder size. However, due to its physical and biological characteristics of the arecanuts heath, none of them were found suitable to get desired size (Gaikwad and Bhargav, 2012). Hence, keeping the above factors in view, an attempt has been made to develop and evaluate an arecanut sheath shredding machine for making arecanut sheath into suitable fodder size for animals. |
