In the agricultural livestock sector, many may encounter similar challenges and questions. Have you also faced these issues?
1、Can long wool be shredded? During shedding season on farms, accumulated wool varies in length, making direct handling difficult. If shredding is possible, subsequent utilization becomes much easier.
2、How fine can wool be shredded? Can it be used in pellet machines? Only when shredded to an appropriate size can wool be further processed into pellets for applications like pasture fertilization or feed production.
3、Can greasy wool be processed? Wool often carries grease—will this hinder the processing or affect the final results?
4、Is there a machine for making feed pellets? If wool can be rationally utilized to create feed pellets, it could significantly reduce feed costs.
A while ago, one of my clients was frustrated. He told me: “Pasture grass is growing slower and slower, feed prices keep rising, and I have all these cows and sheep waiting to be fed. On top of that, every year I pay a fortune just to dispose of the wool shed during shearing season. It’s like I’m throwing money away.”
That really struck me. I remembered reading that wool is rich in nitrogen, potassium, and sulfur — a natural fertilizer and even a feed ingredient. Maybe… wool wasn’t the problem. Maybe it was the solution.
So I dug deeper, checked research, case studies, and started experimenting. The idea sounded simple: turn waste wool into pellets. But reality wasn’t so easy. Raw wool is long and uneven. You can’t just spread it like fertilizer — the wind blows it away, and it does nothing.
I tried using a small feed pelletizer (even the one I had for my dog’s kibble). Total failure. Wool clogged the machine and just kept tangling.
Next, I crushed the wool into finer pieces with a shredder, mixed it with farm manure powder, and pushed it through a modified pellet machine. Finally, I got perfect wool fertilizer pellets.
The results? Amazing. Pastures grew faster, greener, stronger. And instead of paying to throw wool away, farmers were putting it back into the soil as a valuable nutrient source.
But that wasn’t the end. I also tested mixing shredded wool with soybean meal and corn powder. The feed pellets worked beautifully — livestock ate them well, and farmers no longer needed to buy so many nitrogen supplements.
Now, what used to be a costly waste has become what I like to call “green gold” — wool that feeds both the land and the animals.
From Pasture to Feed Trough: The Transformation of Wool Unlocks a New Era of Resource Recycling
From pasture to feed trough, wool completes a green cycle of “from the grasslands, back to the grasslands”:
Cost Efficiency: Self-produced wool shreds replace a portion of purchased protein feed, saving over 10,000 RMB annually in operational costs.
Eco-Friendliness: Reduces waste discharge and minimizes environmental pollution, aligning with sustainable farming practices.
Quality Enhancement: Pelletized feed improves palatability, boosting livestock feed intake and significantly accelerating weight gain.
Wool Shredder
The wool shredder, leveraging efficient cutting and precise grinding technologies, transforms discarded wool into high-value resources, finding widespread applications across multiple industries: In the textile sector, it revitalizes waste woolens like old sweaters and fabric scraps, regenerating them into eco-friendly yarns or filling materials; in agriculture, degreased and sterilized wool powder serves as a premium feed additive or undergoes fermentation to produce organic fertilizers rich in nitrogen and sulfur.

In what other areas/fields are wool shredders applicable besides pastures?
Leveraging its efficient capacity to process wool and similar fibrous materials, wool shredders are also widely applied beyond pastures in fields such as textile processing, environmental resource utilization, healthcare, industrial materials, agricultural mulch film production, and specialty processing.
Textile Processing
Crush waste wool to blend and produce recycled fibers, reducing costs; incorporate ultra-fine wool powder to enhance synthetic fiber performance; utilize wool keratin to adsorb plant-based dyes for eco-friendly dyeing.
Environmental Resource Utilization
Extract keratin to manufacture biodegradable plastics as alternatives to petroleum-based plastics; use wool powder to adsorb heavy metals and oil pollutants for oil spill cleanup and wastewater treatment.
Healthcare & Medical Applications
Develop wound dressings and artificial skin to promote healing and provide antibacterial properties; serve as drug delivery carriers to improve therapeutic efficacy and reduce side effects.
Waste leather/animal fur processing
Wool shredders can rapidly tear sheepskin, cowhide, and other materials into small pieces for further deep processing into leather products or for biomass energy production.
Agriculture
Wool fibers are rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and other nutrients; after being crushed, they can be used as an additive in organic fertilizers to improve soil structure and promote crop growth.
Waste clothing/fabric processing
Wool shredders can crush waste wool garments, textile scraps, and other materials into fiber fragments, which are then used to produce recycled fiber fillers (such as thermal and acoustic insulation materials), sports field infill, or as raw materials for new garment manufacturing.
pellet machine
A feed pellet machine is a type of feed processing machinery that crushes raw materials such as corn, soybean meal, wool, straw, grass, and rice husks, and then directly compresses them into pellets. Its core function is to transform powdered feed into granular form through physical extrusion, thereby enhancing the feed’s palatability, nutritional value, and storage convenience.
