Requirements for pellet feed

Requirements for pellet feed

Granular feed is a type of feed that is processed from various raw materials and widely used in livestock and poultry farming. It has the advantages of balanced nutrition, easy digestion and absorption, and feed conservation, and plays an important role in improving breeding efficiency and ensuring animal health. However, in order to ensure the quality and safety of pellet feed, certain requirements need to be followed.

1. Raw material selection

The raw materials for pellet feed should be of high quality, fresh, and pollution-free. At the same time, the ratio should be based on the nutritional needs and growth stages of different animals. When selecting raw materials, attention should be paid to the balance of protein content, energy content, and nutritional components.

2. Crushing and mixing

The raw materials need to be crushed before mixing. Crushing can increase the surface area of raw materials, which is beneficial for digestion and absorption. Mixing can evenly distribute various raw materials and avoid local nutrient deficiencies or excesses.

3. Processing technology

The processing technology of pellet feed includes two methods: compression and extrusion. Pressing is the process of compressing mixed raw materials into granules through a mold, while extrusion is the process of extruding raw materials into granules using an extruder. During the processing, attention should be paid to temperature and humidity control to avoid damage to raw materials caused by excessively high or low temperatures and humidity.

4. Feeding management

When feeding pellet feed, the following points should be noted: firstly, the appropriate feeding amount and feeding time should be determined based on factors such as animal species, weight, and age; Secondly, sufficient water supply should be ensured to allow animals to drink water at any time; Finally, the feeding trough and residual pellet feed should be regularly cleaned to avoid mold and spoilage.

In short, pellet feed is a high-quality feed that is nutritionally balanced, easy to digest and absorb, and saves feed. In production, it is necessary to follow the above requirements in order to ensure its quality and safety, and ultimately improve the efficiency of aquaculture.

1、 Requirements for raw materials for pellet machines

A pellet machine is a machine equipment that takes powdered or granular raw materials as input, processes them, and outputs granular products. Different pellet machines have different requirements for processing raw materials. The following are common pellet machines' requirements for raw materials:

1. Particle size requirements: Particle machines usually have certain requirements for the particle size of raw materials, generally requiring a particle size of 1 millimeter or more. If the raw materials are too small, it may reduce the production efficiency of the pellet machine or cause blockage.

2. Humidity requirements: The humidity of raw materials has a direct impact on the production efficiency and product quality of pellet machines. If the humidity of the raw materials is too high, it may cause agglomeration or quality degradation of the pellet machine; If the raw materials are too dry, it may increase the energy consumption and wear of the pellet machine.

3. Viscosity requirements: The viscosity of raw materials is also a factor to consider when choosing a pellet machine. Some high viscosity raw materials may reduce the production efficiency of pellet machines or cause blockages. Therefore, suitable raw materials need to be selected for different usage scenarios of pellet machines.
