subject: Introduction Of Feed Machinery [print this page] Feed machinery is also called as feed machine or feed processing machinery. You will find numerous kinds of feed machinery, as an illustration, feed grinding devices, mixers, granules, premix devices and so on. And subsequently feed machinery will be the important good assistant in agriculture.
The main benefits of feed mill from the feed machinery:
First, it can avert animals become picky eaters. There are a variety of materials in the feed formula, so it's nutritionally completed, which can prevent the phenomenon of animals only picking their favorite in the powder and refusing to take the other ingredients. As the pellets can maintain uniformity along the way of storage and feeding, so it can reduce the feeding losses from 8% to 10%.
Second, feed's rate of return is high. In the granulation process, due to the combined effect of moisture, temperature and pressure, it can make feed occur physical and chemical reactions, the starch is as a result gelatinized, and enzyme activity is enhanced, which can make animals more effectively digest the feed, so animals would be therefore gain weight. Using the pellets to feed poultry and swine, its conversion rate (i.e. rate of return) can be increased to 10% -12%, compared with the powder.
Third, it's more economical to be stored and transported. After granulation, it normally will make feed's bulk density increased by 40% to 100%, which can reduce the storage capacity and save transportation costs.
Fourth, it has great fluidity, and it really is easy to manage. A lot of powders, especially the small proportion of velvet-like feed, along with the feed which is added honey or high-fat diet and urea often abide by the material warehouse. As the pellets have great fluidity, it rarely has the phenomenon of adhesion. As to those farms which apply the automatic feeder to feed cows or poultry, the pellets are the most favored.
Fifth, it can keep away from the automatic classification of feed ingredients so as to reduce environmental pollution. Along the way of powder storage and transportation, as various powders' different quality and sizes, it's exceptionally easy to generate graded. After granulation, there is no gradation in feed ingredients, and also the pellets are not easy to disturb the dust. In the process of feeding, pellets' pollution for air and water is much less than that of the powder.
Sixth, it can kill Salmonella in animals' feed. After Salmonella is ingested by animals, it will remain in the animals' tissues, people who eat the infected animals with the bacteria will have Salmonella gastroenteritis. Using the steam high-temperature and quenched granulation method can kill Salmonella, which is existed in animals' feed.
