UMMB Machine
In stock
A Urea Molasses Mineral Block (UMMB) machine is specialized veterinary equipment used to manufacture dense, lickable nutrient supplements for ruminants (cattle, sheep, and goats). It compresses a mixture of urea, molasses, minerals, and binding agents into solid blocks to provide a slow, steady release of essential proteins and energy.

Specs & features.
The primary purpose of UMMB supplementation is to improve the digestibility of low-quality crop residues and dry fodders, which are often deficient in nitrogen and critical minerals. By licking the block, animals receive a constant supply of fermentable nitrogen, which boosts the growth of beneficial rumen microbes, leading to better nutrient absorption, increased milk yields, and enhanced reproductive performance.

- Compaction Technology: Machines utilize a high compaction ratio (often around 3:1) to ensure the block is dense and hard enough to force the animal to lick rather than bite or chew it, which prevents urea toxicity.
- Efficiency: Mechanical presses are vastly more efficient than manual methods, producing uniform blocks consistently.
- Versatility: Depending on the scale and configuration (like stationary vs. mobile feed block machines), they can produce blocks of varying sizes and densities tailored for different species (e.g., cattle vs. goats).
