How to choose equipment for manufacturing compound feed at home

When choosing equipment for manufacturing compound feed, first of all, you need to pay attention to the technical component of the model, quality, and ease of use. If the equipment is of high quality, then the performance indicators of the products (meat, milk, eggs, etc.) will also be high.

Compound feed production equipment is a rather complex mechanism. The equipment includes:

1. Hopper with a scale. It is necessary for weighing all components.
2. Pneumatic feed device. It is necessary to collect components from the lower surface of the box.
3. Grinder. Helps grind the raw materials;
4. Pneumatic transport. Necessary for collecting the mixture, and subsequently for transporting it along the working line;
5. Mixer. Helps thoroughly mix all components (all necessary preparations and vitamins are added beforehand).

These five main components help maintain the operating mechanism of all equipment. However, more modern models may also have controllers and alarms. These two parts help the worker monitor the entire process and control it.

Production of Compound Feed at Home

The production of compound feed is a fairly simple process. It is worth recalling that compound feed is called the consumable product that farmers need for the production of food products - meat, milk, and other domestic products. The main condition in the production of compound feed is high quality, since the final result of the product itself depends on this indicator. If the compound feed is of high quality, then it is easily absorbed. As a result, animals grow faster, and the ratio of a kilogram of meat to the total kilogram of feed is optimized. Let's look at how to make compound feed with your own hands.

For one of the most common compound feed preparation lines, barley, corn, meal, and grass meal are required. This compound feed production technology requires only inexpensive components (equipment) for production.

So, the technology is simple:

1. First, you need to mow the grass or alfalfa.
2. Next, you need to dry the hay on a dryer, after which grind the grass meal.
3. Crush the grain fertilizers taken as a basis (in this case, corn and barley).
4. Proceed to pressing forage sunflower seeds (using an oil press). Upon output – use meal and industrial oil.
5. Let the industrial oil settle, after which load all the obtained ingredients into the granulator itself. Thus, we will get the finished product.
6. Package according to the appropriate dosage of components for each animal. It is recommended to study all composition recipes beforehand.
7. In order to obtain easily digestible granules, it is necessary to go through the process of pressing bulk feed using a feed granulator. The size of the granules can be adjusted to your needs (there are different nozzles for this).

Of course, every farmer has their own idea of how compound feed is made, but all technologies come down to the above-mentioned line. The only difference is the composition of the initial components. All characteristics of the finished product should be selected from personal recipes for each animal to get the maximum return.
