What is livestock feed production about?

 

Livestock feed production is the manufacturing of animal feed like poultry or chicken feed, cattle feed, goat feed, dog food, bird food, and several other types, with raw agricultural ingredients like corn, wheat, sorghum, forage, vitamins, additives and minerals, and formulates them into a nutritious feed tailored for a production animal’s specific dietary needs.


Benefits of livestock feed production

During livestock feed production, some additive medicine are put into the animal feed mill to reduce the nutrition loss, meanwhile killing the pathogenic microorganism and parasite, thus ensuring the feed quality.

It is measured that the livestock animals increase food intake by 10-15% by feeding the pellet feed after curing , meanwhile during the pressing processing, short-period high temperature reaching to 70℃-100℃ in the livestock feed production kills a big part of parasitic ovum and pathogenic microorganism, apparently reducing the probability of animals being sick.

When feeding pellet feed, animals chew them for longer time, giving the feed enough time to mix with saliva, stimulating intestinal motility, thus improving the nutrition digestibility of pellet feed.


How to start livestock feed production?

  1. Create your feed formula

After choosing the type of livestock feed you want to produce, the next step is to create a feed formula for them. Each livestock feed would be different from the other, as chicken feed would be different from fish feed. You’d then need to study the nutritional requirements of each animal, so you can determine how best to create a feed that can lead to high yields.

  1. Mix the feed ingredients

When you finish drawing up a great formula, they’re to be weighed, tested, and analyzed for different nutrients to ensure their quality and safety. This will help nutritionists to even formulate better livestock feed for specific species.

  1. Get the feed production machinery

Some very important machinery you must acquire for the livestock feed production: feed hammer mill, mixer, feed mill equipment, cooler, sifters, bag sewers, packer.
