This invention refers to a pelletizing and feeding-out device for fodder with varying degree of moisture, so called semi-moist fodder. The device can also take care of fish waste and other waste products, which can be used as fodder. The device comprises a rotatable container for the fodder, at the bottom of which a feeding-out device is arranged comprising a feeding chamber non-rotatably connected to the container and a feed screw extending through the feeding chamber and which does not take part in the rotation of the container and feeding chamber. The feed screw presses the fodder through a number of holes in the feeding chamber, at which the fodder is cut into suitable pellets or pieces. The container is further provided with at least one internal mixing arm constituting a support for the end of the feed screw located inside the container.
