ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for producing feed particles of a desired size in a 20 to 1000 .mu.m size range for uses such as a larval aquatic feed. The method uses a marumerizer comprising a cylindrical housing have a grooved bottom, and includes the steps of placing a wet mash of the particle material (e.g., a larval aquatic feed material) in the marumerizer, placing in the marumerizer a charge of inert beads of a size (e.g., 3 mm) substantially larger than that of the particles to be produced, and rotating the marumerizer with the wet mash and charge of inert beads therein so that the beads compact and shape the mash into formed spheroidal particles.
