Why use hay pellet machine to process hay pellets?

Why use hay pellet machine to process hay pellets

Hay pellets serve as a substitute for hay and can enhance the basic feed. The hay pellets are made from grass that has been mown at the optimal time. The mown grass is dried by a warm air process, then crushed and pressed into hay pellets.

Hay pellets offer several advantages over traditional hay, including improved digestibility, reduced dust and waste, and ease of handling and storage. They are particularly popular in regions where hay availability is limited or during winter months when fresh forage is scarce.

Hay pellets do not contain irritant dust, which makes them particularly suitable for livestock with respiratory diseases. In addition, softened hay pellets are easier to chew and process for livestock with dental problems. Moreover, they have a high crude fiber content, which is necessary for the livestock's digestion.

Hay pelleting technology——making pellets from hay

The most critical technology for processing grass pellets is to adjust the moisture content of the raw materials.

Hay pelleting technology——making pellets from hay
  1. First, the moisture content of the raw materials must be measured, and then water is mixed to reach the moisture content required for processing. According to measurements, the optimal moisture content for using leguminous forage as grass pellets is 14%-16%; the optimal moisture content for grassy forage is 13%-15%.
  2. The processing of hay pellets usually uses a hay pellet machine. Grass powder is stirred and extruded during the granulation process. Under normal circumstances, the temperature of the granules just coming out of the sieve reaches about 80°C.
  3. When cooling from high temperature to room temperature, the moisture content generally decreases by 3%-5%. Therefore, the moisture content of the cooled grass particles does not exceed 11%-13%. Because the moisture content is very low, it is suitable for long-term storage without mold and deterioration.

Hay pellets containing different nutritional components can be formulated according to the nutritional requirements of various livestock and poultry. The pellet size can be adjusted by the hay pellet machine and processed as required.

The purpose of hay pellet feed processing is to mix pure hay powder or hay powder with other concentrated feed raw materials into complete ration feed according to animal growth needs and animal nutrition formula requirements, and process it into pure hay pellets and complete ration hay pellet feed. The types of hay pellet feed currently commonly used are as follows:
