Hong Kong 3-4T/H Ruminant Cattle Feed Plant Project

Analysis of project raw materials: elephant grass and auxiliary raw materials

The biggest highlight of this ruminant cattle feed plant in Hong Kong project is the selection of the main raw material-elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum), which is a tropical high-quality forage grass with rich cellulose content, high crude protein and mineral content. It is especially suitable for the digestive system of ruminants and can effectively promote rumen fermentation and improve feed conversion rate.

The wide application of elephant grass not only meets the needs of green breeding, but also fits the breeding concept of Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area to pursue ecological and environmental protection.

In addition, the ruminant cattle feed mill in Hong Kong project also selects a variety of auxiliary raw materials to optimize the nutritional ratio of feed, including:

• Corn flour: provides rich energy and promotes growth rate;
• Soybean meal: as a high-quality protein source, supplements amino acids;
• Wheat bran and grain by-products: enhance the fiber content of feed, which is beneficial to rumen health;
• Vitamin mineral premix: ensure animal health and immunity;
• Fat additives: improve feed energy density and palatability.

Customers can fully combine the import and export trade convenience of Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta region to stably purchase high-quality elephant grass and other raw materials to ensure the scientificity and continuous supply of feed formula.

Detailed explanation of Hong Kong feed production line process

For high-fiber raw materials such as elephant grass, this ruminant cattle feed plant in Hong Kong adopts a specially optimized process flow, taking into account the technical requirements of material pretreatment, nutritional balance and pellet forming.

1. First, roughage such as elephant grass is crushed into suitable particle size by preliminary crushing equipment to ensure uniform mixing and improve subsequent pelleting efficiency. In view of the high crude fiber content of elephant grass, the crushing equipment needs to have strong power and high wear resistance to ensure long-term stable operation.
2. Subsequently, all raw materials enter the intelligent metering and mixing system according to the precise formula, and are fully mixed by a double-shaft mixer, and the mixing uniformity reaches the industry's advanced standard (CV≤5%). This link can realize liquid addition, such as oil and vitamins, to further improve the nutrition and palatability of the feed.
3. Next, the conditioning stage is entered, and the mixture is heated and softened by using an efficient steam conditioner to improve the pellet forming performance, increase the pellet density and solubility, which is particularly suitable for the digestion needs of ruminants for crude fiber.
4. The pelleting process uses an advanced ring die cattle feed pellet making machine. The feed pellet machine has the function of multi-speed adjustable particle size, and can produce feeds with various particle sizes of 3-8 mm according to different animal stages and needs. The pellets are uniform in shape, moderate in hardness, easy to digest in the rumen, and meet the requirements of transportation and storage.
5. The cooling stage uses an efficient countercurrent cooler to quickly reduce the pellet temperature, prevent water vapor from affecting the hardness and quality of the pellets, and ensure that the product is stored for a long time without deterioration.
6. Finally, the vibrating screen is used to remove fine powder and impurities to improve the overall quality of the feed, and then enter the automatic packaging stage, which supports multi-specification bag packaging for easy sales and use.

The process of ruminant cattle feed plant in Hong Kong fully considers the physical and nutritional characteristics of elephant grass, ensuring that the feed is not only nutritious, but also has good palatability and processing stability.

Product diversification and wide application

In addition to the elephant grass pellet feed designed for ruminants, the ruminant cattle feed plant in Hong Kong also has extremely strong multi-functional processing capabilities. Through formula and equipment parameter adjustment, customers can easily produce the following feed types:

• Pellet feed for dairy cows and beef cattle to meet different growth stages and production needs;
• Special feed for other ruminants such as sheep and deer;
• High-protein concentrate pellets, such as nutritional formulas designed specifically for high-yielding dairy cows;
• Special functional feed, such as green feed with added Chinese herbal ingredients;
• Other livestock and poultry feed to expand market diversification needs.

This flexibility greatly improves the utilization rate and market responsiveness of customers' production lines, providing a solid foundation for future product upgrades and diversified operations.

Prospects Analysis of Ruminant Feed Processing Industry in Hong Kong

Although dairy and beef cattle farming in Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta region occupies limited land, the quality and added value continue to improve, driving the development of the high-end feed market. The region's strict requirements for ecological protection and food safety have given rise to a huge demand for green, organic, and high-quality feed.

With technological progress and policy support, the local feed processing industry will be more intelligent and automated in the future. The production of elephant grass feed in the customer project not only conforms to the trend of sustainable development, but also fills the gap in the local market for high-fiber, high-nutrition feed. Once the ruminant cattle feed plant in Hong Kong project was launched, it won market recognition and the favor of farmers, and the product sales were broad.

In addition, Hong Kong is located in an international trade hub, with huge export potential for feed products, which can radiate the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and Southeast Asian markets, and has room for sustainable expansion.

Project implementation process and RICHI full support service

The customer of this ruminant cattle feed plant in Hong Kong project first consulted in detail through the RICHI official website in July 2021, and clarified the production capacity requirements, raw material structure and formula requirements during the communication. The RICHI technical team quickly formulated a plan, and the two parties signed a contract in August 2021. The equipment manufacturing cycle is about 100 days.

At the end of 2022, the equipment arrived in Hong Kong. RICHI dispatched an experienced team of installation engineers to assist customers in completing equipment installation, commissioning and trial production, which took about 60 days. All customers received systematic operation training, including production process, equipment maintenance, fault handling and safety management, to ensure the rapid commissioning of the production line.

Since the commissioning, the customer's feed production has been stable and efficient, and the product quality has been highly praised by farmers. RICHI provides long-term after-sales service and regularly tracks technical support to maximize customer interests.
