The benefits of granulated feed. Shape, composition, storage

What is the difference between ordinary compound feed and granulated feed? Let's take a look at what is granular? In this article we will talk about what benefits farmers can have from the production of granular feed and why it is worth buying a granulator


Shape

Granules are compressed elements in The Shape of a cylinder, and each pellet has the same shape and content.

On the other hand, the elements of the feed mix differ in shape and structure.

Over time, animals learn to choose from the feed mixture the ingredients that they like the most because of their specific form and structure, and the rest goes to waste.

In the case of granules, this does not happen, because each granule is identical in composition, and the animals willy-nilly have to eat everything.


Waste

Thanks to this, during feeding with granular feed, there is practically no waste.


Composition

As mentioned earlier, each pellet has an identical composition, and the animals get all the nutrients they need. The granules are quite hard, and the animals can not choose only their preferred feed. In addition, the granules are strongly compressed, which contributes to an increase in the capacity of the granules, and therefore the animals get more feed.


However, the feed mixture does not have such properties.


Storage

Granules are stored better than compound feed, because during granulation more than 95% of pathogenic fungi are killed, and besides, the granules are not afraid of moisture.

Thus, granular feeds have a number of advantages compared to bulk feeds.

In addition, you can granulate the feed on your own when purchasing a feed granulator.

In this case, we ourselves decide what the ingredients of the granules will be, and we can add vitamins and supplements necessary for animals to the composition of the granules.

You can granulate not only the feed mixture, but also the crops grown by US (ground grain, alfalfa, etc.) and various wastes (poppies, millet processing waste, chaff, etc.).

Thus, we discussed the advantages of granular feed, but it is you who should make the choice of how to feed your animals.

First start-up of the granulator. The process of running-in the matrix

When the granulator is first started, there is a high probability of obtaining low-quality granulate or a dry mix. This can cause the die to become blocked with raw material, regardless of its type. The reason for this is the unpolished inner surface of the die holes.We will look at the causes of this phenomenon and how to solve them:First: The granulator is new, and therefore the matrix in it is ..
