The plurality of shredding blades 63 are arranged in a circular array around the center of the connecting plate 62. The plurality of shredding blades 63 are all inclined to one side. The blade position of the plurality of shredding blades 63 is close to but not in contact with the inner wall surface of the cutting box 3. Through the high-speed rotation of the plurality of shredding blades 63, the shredding blades 63 can shred the incoming grass at high speed. The circular array of shredding blades 63 can achieve high-speed continuous cutting in order to improve the shredding effect.

[0023] As an optional technical solution of this utility model: each of the two fine crushing roller assemblies 8 includes a central shaft 81 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the guide cover 2, and a crushing roller 82 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the central shaft 81.

By using two motors to drive the shredding roller assembly 6 and the fine crushing roller assembly 8 respectively, the rotation speed can be controlled separately so as to flexibly adjust when dealing with different materials.

[0026] The working process of this utility model is as follows: When the user uses it... 1) Feed the forage straw and other materials into the feed inlet 4 so that the materials enter the cutting box 3 and are cut into small pieces by the high-speed rotating cutting roller assembly 6; 2) Then, the forage cut into small pieces is further finely crushed by two counter-rotating extrusion crushing fine crushing roller assemblies 8; 3) Then, the chopped grass will slide down through the feed guide 2 into the feeding trough 1 for feeding.

[0027] In summary, this utility model combines the feeding trough 1 with a chopping device. During feeding, forage straw and other materials are directly fed into the inlet 4, allowing the material to enter the cutting box 3. The high-speed rotating chopping roller assembly 6 cuts the forage straw and other materials into small pieces. Then, two counter-rotating crushing roller assemblies 8 further refine the small pieces of forage, which then fall directly into the feeding trough 1 for feeding. The structure is compact and simple, eliminating the need for crushing and subsequent transfer and feeding. It has high feeding efficiency and low operating costs, making it suitable for small-scale farming by small farmers. Through the several granulation tanks 83 of the two fine crushing roller assemblies 8, the crushed forage is squeezed by the counter-rotating crushing rollers 82, resulting in forage particles of uniform size that are easier for animals to absorb and digest, thus improving the farming effect.
