Here we will introduce you to the process flow of poultry feed production:

1. Accurate formula and precise ingredients:
   Feed formula should be reasonably prepared according to the nutritional needs of poultry. During the processing, the quantities of various raw materials added are strictly measured accurately.
2. Pay attention to the crushing particle size:
   The various seeds and lump feeds such as corn and bean cakes in the formula must be crushed. The main purpose is to reduce the chewing of chickens and increase the contact surface between feed and digestive juice, thereby improving the digestibility of feed nutrients. Chicken feed crushing generally requires passing through a sieve hole with a diameter of less than 1 mm.
3. Good mixing:
   Add the crushed raw materials and other raw materials that do not need to be crushed in the formula into the mixer according to the formula proportion and mix. The mixing time for each batch is 3 to 5 minutes. The mixed feed at this time is powdered feed, which can generally be fed directly as a daily diet for laying hens at various stages.
   The crushed dry powder cannot be fed directly to poultry because the dry powder has poor palatability and serious loss and waste. Generally, the dry powder is mixed with water and then fed. When adding water and stirring, the water should be controlled well. The water should not be too large or too small.
   Generally, the dryness and humidity should be controlled so that it can be kneaded into a ball with one hand and can be loosened and spread out after letting go. Wet ingredients should be mixed and fed immediately, otherwise it will easily cause spoilage.
4. Pelletizing:
   The mixed powdered feed is made into granules through the comprehensive treatment of steam, heat and pressure of the poultry feed pellet machine to gelatinize and mature the starch substances. This can improve the palatability of the feed, increase the digestibility of nutrients, prevent the chicken from being picky eaters, and increase feed intake.
   Pellets are commonly used for raising broilers, and the diameter of pellet feed is generally 3 to 5 mm. After granulation, the granules undergo cooling, screening, packaging and other processes. If the feed to be processed includes chicken feed, you need to configure a pellet crumbler machine.
5. Distinguish between different poultry animals:
   For the feed of ducks and geese, after the seeds are soaked in water, they swell and become soft, easy to chew and digest, and the toxic substances and odors can be reduced. They can be fed directly to ducks and geese, thus improving the Palatability and availability.
6. The composition of the diet strives for feed diversity:
   and pay attention to the ratio between protein and energy to ensure the protein intake of the chickens and keep the crude fiber content in the diet below 5%. The relative stability of the diet should be maintained and should not be changed at will. If changes must be made, the transition should be gradual, otherwise the egg production performance of the chickens will be affected.

Poultry feed processing equipment is usually selected based on production scale, production variety, and production technology. Therefore, different feed mills often use different equipment. However, some basic equipment for feed processing are the same.

According to the process flow, it generally includes raw material receiving and cleaning equipment, conveying equipment, crushing equipment, batching equipment, mixing equipment, granulating equipment, puffing equipment, liquid spraying equipment, ventilation and dust removal equipment, packaging equipment and central control systems.

• Crusher: Poultry feed crusher is a device that crushes feed raw materials into powder. The most commonly used water droplet crusher is suitable for various feed raw materials such as fiber feed, wheat, and corn.
• Batch scale: Batch scale is a commonly used automatic weighing equipment for feed ingredients. It can automatically control the proportion of different ingredients to ensure the stability and quality of poultry feed.
• Cooler: The cooler is a device used to cool down the poultry feed pellets during the manufacturing process to avoid overheating of the feed and reduce the nutritional value, and to extend the storage period of the feed.
• Conveyor: The conveyor can transport different types and sizes of feed raw materials, powdered or granular feed from one place to another, improving production efficiency. Conveyors include screw conveyors and bucket conveyors.
• Control system: Feed production equipment is becoming more and more automated. Large-scale feed production equipment is usually equipped with a control system to control the operation of the poultry feed production line and the entire poultry pellet feed production process.

The above are common poultry feed production equipment. In addition, there are grading screens, packaging scales, bag sewing machines, dust collectors, and cleaning equipment. Production lines with larger output also require silo equipment. Each equipment has its own unique role..

Requirements for poultry feed making machine before granulation

It is required to inspect and maintain the poultry feed pellet making machine before production to ensure the quality of the product. It includes the following aspects:

1. The pellets and the magnets on the top should be cleaned once every shift. If they cannot be cleaned, the iron in the feed may enter the poultry feed pellet mill ring die and affect the normal operation of the poultry feed pelleting machine.
2. Monitor the wear of the ring die and press roller: the wear of the press roller may affect production capacity of pellet making machine for poultry feed; excessive wear of the press die reduces the effective thickness of the press die and affects the quality of the pellets.
3. Add lubricating oil to the pressure roller regularly to ensure the normal operation of the poultry pellet making machine pressure roller.
4. Check whether there is material backlog in the poultry feed pellet cooler, and check whether the cooling plate or screen surface in the pellet cooler is damaged.
5. The roller of the poultry feed crumbles machine should be inspected regularly: if the corrugated teeth of the roller wear and become blunt, it will reduce the crushing capacity and reduce the quality of the product.
6. Check every shift whether there are holes, blockages and adhesion on the screen surface of the grading screen, and the screen surface is intact and undamaged to achieve the correct pellet classification effect.
7. Check the cutter of the poultry feed pellet making machine: the cutter is worn too blunt, which will increase the powder of poultry feed.
8. Check the steam separator of steam to ensure the quality of steam entering the poultry feed pellet machine conditioner. Otherwise, it will affect the annual production capacity of the light beam and the pellet quality of the poultry feed.
9. When replacing raw materials, check whether the buffer bin and finished product bin above the poultry feed pelleting machine are completely emptied to prevent mixing.

Conditioning technology of poultry feed pellet machine

Poultry feed generally contains corn with high starch content and low crude fiber content. Therefore, the structure and strength of poultry pellet feed rely on tempering technology, using heat and steam to soften the raw materials to improve the pelleting performance of the feed.

During the poultry feed pellet manufacturing machine conditioning process, the starch of the feed will be partially gelatinized, and the gelatinized starch has the effect of binding, which improves the pellet forming rate of the poultry feed.

Generally, the conditioning time of the poultry pellet making machine conditioner is 10~20 seconds. Extending the conditioning time can:

1. Increase starch gelatinization;
2. Increase feed temperature and reduce harmful microorganisms;
3. Improve poultry feed production efficiency and pellets quality. When the steam pressure is low, heat and water can be dissipated faster. In order to improve the quenching and tempering effect, the steam pressure must be controlled. Generally, poultry pellet feed can be adjusted to 16~18% moisture and 75~85°C according to actual operation requirements.

Correct adjustment of poultry feed pellet machine pressure roller and ring die gap

The correct adjustment of the pressure roller gap can prolong the service life of the poultry feed pellet mill ring die and the pressure roller, and improve the production efficiency and poultry pellet quality. The poultry pellet feed machine adjustment requirements are as follows:

Adjust the poultry feed pellet making machine pressure roller so that when the ring die rotates at a low speed, the pressure roller can only touch the high point of the poultry feed pelleting machine ring die. This gap minimizes the metal contact between the poultry feed pellet making machine ring die and the pressure roller, reduces wear, and there is enough pressure to rotate the pressure roller.

Grinding particle size before entering the poultry pellet machine

The particle size requirements for raw material crushing should be determined according to the particle size of the poultry feed pellets made by poultry feed pellet making machine. The particle size requirement is too fine, the processing speed is low, and the productivity is low; the particle size is too coarse, the pellet forming rate decreases, and the pellets are easy to break.

Poultry feed pellet size made by poultry pellet feed machine is different, so when selecting feed, it is necessary to select the feed according to the growth of the poultry, and the pellet size of the feed can also be adjusted according to the different purposes.

Taking chicken feed as an example, the weight gain of chickens eating small particle size feed is significantly higher than eating large particle size feed. The crushing particle size of grains in broiler feed is preferably 700～900μm. Laying hens are not sensitive to the pulverization degree of feed, and it is generally appropriate to control it at 1000 µm.

In poultry feed processing, chicken and duck feed requires coarser particle size, and generally requires that the pellet feed has a large hardness and a low powdering rate to reduce feed waste.

To increase the hardness of the pellet feed for poultry, the purpose of increasing the hardness of the pellet made by poultry pellet feed machine can be achieved by adjusting the coarse, medium, and fine ratio of the raw material crushing particle size.

Coarse particles mean that the particle size is above 900μm, which requires no more than 15%, medium particles mean that the particle size is about 700μm, which is about 35%, and fine particles mean that the particle size is below 500μm, which requires more than 50%.

Among them, the fine powder with a particle size of less than 250μm is not less than 25%. The starch in this part of the fine powder can be fully gelatinized during conditioning, and plays an important role in the poultry pellet feed machine granulation process.

It binds coarse, medium and fine particles together into large pellets feed for poultry, which not only improves the hardness of the pellets from the poultry pellet feed machine, can also reduce the powdering rate of the product.

Requirements for poultry pellets made by poultry feed pellet machine

1. Pellet forming rate: Used for sieving granular feed with a sieve of less than 20% of the poultry feed pellet size. If the poultry pellet feed has a pellet size of 5.00mm, use a 4.00mm sieve. The percentage of the sieve can represent the forming rate of the pellets. The pellet forming rate of poultry and livestock feed from the poultry pellet feed machine is required to be greater than 95%, and the pellet forming rate of fish and shrimp feed is required to be greater than 98%.
2. Pellet length: The length of poultry feed pellets with a diameter of less than 4mm is 2 to 5 times the pellet size, and the length of poultry feed pellets with a diameter of 4 mm or more is 1.5 to 3 times the size.

Poultry feed raw materials mainly include grains, proteins, fats, minerals, etc.

Feed raw materials

Grain raw materials are an important part of poultry feed, mainly including cereals, beans and potatoes. Cereals include corn, wheat, sorghum, rice, etc.; beans include tofu dregs, soybean meal, soybean cakes, etc.; potatoes mainly include potatoes and sweet potatoes. These raw materials are rich in carbohydrates and energy, which are the main nutrients needed for poultry growth.

Protein raw materials

Protein raw materials are key components of poultry feed, mainly including animal protein and plant protein. Animal protein mainly includes fish meal, seafood, animal liver, etc. Plant protein mainly includes soybean meal, cottonseed meal, peanut meal, etc. Protein is an essential nutrient for the growth and development of poultry. It can promote cell division, improve immunity, and accelerate weight gain.

Mineral raw materials

Mineral raw materials are an indispensable part of poultry feed, mainly including calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, etc. Calcium and phosphorus are essential nutrients for the growth and development of poultry, while iron and zinc are important trace elements in poultry, which can promote bone growth and internal organ development.

Fatty raw materials

Fatty raw materials are an important source of energy in poultry feed, mainly including oils, animal fats and vegetable oils. Oils and fats include soybean oil, rapeseed oil, peanut oil, etc. Animal fats mainly include lard, butter, duck fat, etc. Reasonable fat intake can make poultry's fur shiny and meat delicious, and can also improve the energy and nutrient intake efficiency of poultry.

The above are some common raw materials in poultry feed. For healthy growth and development, we need to choose an appropriate feed combination based on the characteristics and growth needs of poultry, and reasonably combine grain, protein, fat and minerals to meet the growth needs of poultry.

A poultry feed pellet machine is a feed processing machinery and equipment that can compress powdered or wet feed raw materials into pellets. The use of feed pellet machines plays an important role and advantages in poultry breeding, which are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

Improve the palatability and digestibility of feed

The poutlry feed pellet machine can mix a variety of feed ingredients evenly to prevent poultry from being picky eaters. At the same time, it can add spices or nutritional additives suitable for the taste of poultry to increase the palatability of the feed.

After being treated with high temperature and high pressure, pellet feed made by poutlry feed pellet machine can kill bacteria and parasites in the feed, reduce anti-nutritional factors in the feed, such as trypsin inhibitors, gossypol, glucosinolates, etc., and increase the concentration of nutrients such as protein and starch in the feed.

Pellet feed is also beneficial to the chewing and saliva secretion of poultry, promotes the secretion of digestive juices and intestinal peristalsis, improves the balance of intestinal flora, and enhances the digestive ability and immunity of poultry.

Improve the storage and transportation of feed

The poultry feed pellet press machine can compress the feed raw materials into particles with higher density and lower moisture, which reduces the air contact area, reduces the possibility of oxidation and mildew, and extends the shelf life of the feed. Pellets are also easy to package, transport and use, reducing feed loss and contamination during storage and transportation.

Reduce breeding costs and improve breeding efficiency

The poultry feed pelletizer machine can use low-cost raw materials such as agricultural by-products, light industrial waste, and plant residues to improve their nutritional value through fermentation, pretreatment, etc., and make pellet feed suitable for the growth needs of poultry.

This not only saves resources, but also reduces breeding costs. At the same time, because pellet feed can improve the feed intake, weight gain rate, slaughter rate, meat quality and egg quality of poultry, it can also improve breeding efficiency and market competitiveness.

In summary, the poultry feed pellet machine plays a significant role and advantages in poultry breeding, and is a modern feed processing equipment worthy of promotion and application.
