Things You Need To Know About Animal Feed Pellets

Feed pellet means that the feed is crushed and pressed into a granular feed of varying diameters by a special compression molding. The feed pellet making machine produced by Zhengzhou Fusmar Machinery has better performance in pelletized feed. The raw material composition of the pellet feed can divide into a concentrate feed pellet, a mixture pellet, a coarse pellet, etc. More used are the mixture pellets and the coarse pellets.

Zhengzhou Fusmar Machinery is a professional animal feed mill manufacturer, this article we will introduce animal feeds in detail.

What Is Animal Feed Pellets

The mixed pellets are weighed in proportion to energy feed, bran feed, protein feed, additives, etc., and are thoroughly stirred and mixed uniformly, and then pressed into pellets. The coarse pellets crush the roughage (such as corn mash) into pellets, and the pellets are pressed without the binder. Large pellets (blocky) coarse material (made from hay flour) has unique advantages in pastoral areas, commonly known as beef biscuit feed.

The pellet feed refers to a pelletized feed obtained by pressing the processed powdery compound feed through a poultry feed production machines. Compared to powdered feed, pellet feed has many advantages, summed up in five ways:

1. It is convenient for storage, packaging and transportation. After the feed is formed, the pellet feed is reduced by about 1/3 than the powder feed, which is convenient for storage, packaging and transportation. During storage, the powder feed is easy to absorb moisture and agglomerate, and the pellets are granulated. The feed has good dispersibility, low hygroscopicity and high storage stability, automatic classification is avoided during the transportation of the finished product, the loss of dust and trace components is reduced during the packaging process.

2. Sterilization. During the granulation process, certain toxic substances or inhibitors (such as trypsin inhibitor, hemagglutinin, etc.) in the feed are destroyed by heat. At the same time, 90% of Salmonella can be killed.

3. Improve the palatability of livestock and poultry, increase feed intake due to the high density of pellet feed, volume reduction, high nutrient concentration, so that the animal's feed intake also increased accordingly.

4. Easy to digest and absorb, improve feed utilization through granulation, improve the physical and chemical properties of certain nutrients in the feed, improve feed utilization, and improve nutrient utilization.

5. Prevent livestock and poultry picky eaters, reduce feed waste due to the uniform size of the pellet feed, comprehensive nutrition, thus ensuring the integrity and full price of the feed components, avoiding the selection of feed for livestock and poultry according to their palatability. Reducing to the air, water loss caused by flying dust everywhere. Moreover, the pellet feed is easy to identify, and the pellet feed size of piglets, growing pigs, and finishing pigs is small to large.

Production Of Animal Feed Pellets

In the animal feed production process, under the combined action of water, heat and pressure, the starch is gelatinized and cracked, and the structure of cellulose and fat is changed, which is beneficial to the full digestion, absorption and utilization of livestock and poultry, and improves the digestibility of feed. High temperature sterilization by steam reduces the possibility of feed mold and insects and improves the palatability of the feed.

1. Raw material receiving: After the raw material is discharged into the receiving pit, it is transported by the conveyor, the bucket elevator, and the screening of the primary cleaning magnetic separator, and then sent to the vertical silo for storage or sent to crush warehouse, ingredient warehouse.

2. Raw material cleaning: Mainly to remove impurities in raw materials, you can use the primary magnetic separator, which can be easily cleaned.

3. Feed crushing: The purpose of this is to increase the surface area of the feed, so that the animal can digest and absorb it. It can also improve the quality of the feed. Generally, the pellets are pulverized twice., more thorough.

4. Ingredients: Generally, the multi-storage and multi-scale batching process is adopted. The batching scale is an electronic batching scale, which can improve the precision of the ingredients and improve the production management.

5. Feed mixing: It is the uniform mixing of the materials to ensure the quality of the feed. At present, most of them are mixed by using a batch horizontal belt mixer.

6. Liquid addition: It is to add some extra substances in the feed to increase the content of protein, amino acid and vitamin in the feed, usually adding molasses.

7. Feed forming: When the feed is formed, a ring die feed pellet machine or flat die feed pellet machine can be used, and the pellet feed from the feed pellet machine should be cooled. After cooling, if the particles are large, they can be broken into smaller particles. By grading screening, qualified products are extracted, and if they are unqualified, they are re-granulated and granulated.
