Abstract: Fodder is converted into shape-retaining blocks or cakes by an apparatus which collects fodder off the ground and subjects it to a preliminary compacting action, thereupon to a twisting action which results in the formation of ropes of convoluted material, and to a final compacting action resulting in conversion of ropes into blocks or cakes of firmly compacted material. The twisting and final compacting actions can be carried out sequentially or simultaneously.
