1. An animal feed bulk grain particle size distribution determination device, comprising:
a sample obtaining device and an inlet,
the sample obtaining device configured to obtain a sample sub-portion of the animal feed bulk grain, and
the inlet configured for receiving the sample sub-portion of the animal feed bulk grain,
a sorting mechanism for sorting the sample sub-portion received by the inlet, said sorting mechanism comprising:
at least a first sorting device for sorting said sample sub-portion into at least two sorted partitions, wherein the sorting device is configured for sorting different particle sizes and said at least two sorted partitions have different particle sizes, and
a motor or actuator for vibrating said first sorting device,
a weighing system comprising at least one sensor for weighing the at least two sorted partitions sorted by said sorting mechanism and a data output for generating output data indicative of a weight of the at least two sorted partitions, so as to allow calculation of the particle size distribution in the animal feed bulk grain.
