Basic information
Feed formulation is one of the most part of livestock. The main objective of feed formulation is to utilize the knowledge of nutrient requirements, locally available feed ingredients and digestive capacity of fish for the development of a nutritionally balanced mixture of feed stuff
In feed formulation, a method known as Pearson Square is often used. In this method, the digestible crude protein is the basis for measuring nutrient requirement during feed formulation. The following are the DCP values for each of the common ingredients used in feed making
A feed production mill is a crucial segment in poultry farming i.e. It is a must to have if you are planning have your poultry farm or to make your own poultry feed at home or in a small industrial plant. Aside from being a poultry farmer, an individual may decide to start producing feed mill and supply to poultry farmers or other animal farming sectors like pigs, goats and ducks
It should be noted however, that each category of poultry bird i.e. Layers, broilers all have specific nutrient requirements and feed formulation should be based on their requirements, feed manufacturing contains a series of steps in which individual ingredients are combined into a homogeneous mix, further processed into customer desired forms, and packaged or delivered
Feed mill machine means a source or equipment at a source that produces food, including premixes, supplements and concentrates, for animal (non-human) consumption from grain, grain byproducts or alfalfa and other ingredients, without cooking, but not including wet or dry corn mills, soybean mills, flour mills and ethanol plants
Product description
A feed mill machine is a food processing plant in which stock feeds are prepared. In general, feed mills are responsible for the production of animal feeds, including those consumed by livestock and poultry animals and companion animals
Feed mill equipment consists of various components. These include the feed grinding machine, a feed mixing machine, the feed pellet machine, the feed pellet cooling machine as well as a feed pellet packing machine
It is equally important to know what this feed mill crusher and mixer machine is all about. Crush and mix feed mill machine is designed for large, medium or small layer chicken farm, broiler chicken farm and chicks farm to get their livestock feed on daily basis with little or no stress. It is also called grind and mix feed machine or pullet mill machine. It has the crush and mix functions at the same time, very convenient and easy to operate once you are trained to do so, usually it is used to crush all kinds of cereals, grains like corn, wheat, beans and soya and so on

Components of feed mill machine
1. Mixers
One of the most essential and critical operations in the process of feed manufacturing is mixing. This is where the individual ingredients that make up the feed are combined into their proper ratios and uniformity distributed throughout the entire mass. This is achieved using a mixer. Creating a completely homogeneous blend is the objective of mixing. If the ingredients are not properly mixed, then the nutritional quality cannot be assured. The mixer performance can be affected by factors such as,
1. Mixing time
2. Filling the mixer over the rated capacity
3. Particle size and shape of the ingredients
4. Ingredient density
5. Static charge
6. The sequence of ingredient addition
7. Worn, altered, or broken equipment
8. Improper mixer adjustment
9. Cleanliness, scrapers should be used to remove the remaining materials from the mixer
10. These locations are potential points for mold and bacteria to grow
2. Hammer Mills
In the feed processing process, there may be a number of ingredients such as coarse cereal grains. Corn which require particle size reduction, the hammer mill is used to achieve the following advantages
Advantages of using the hammer mill
1. It is able to produce a wide range of particle sizes
2. It works with any friable material and fiber
3. It is easy of use
4. Lower initial investment when compared with a roller mill
5. Minimal maintenance needed
6. Particles produced using a hammer mill will generally be spherical, with a surface that appears polished
Features
1. Feed formulation is the process of quantifying the amounts of feed ingredients that need to be combined to form a single uniform diet for livestock to supply all of their nutrient requirements. Since feed accounts for 65 to 75 per cent of total production costs for most farm animals throughout the world, a simple mistake in diet formulation can become a disaster
2. Feed formulation requires thorough understanding of the nutrient requirements of the particular livestock class for meat or breeders, feed ingredients in terms of nutrient composition and constraints in terms of nutrition and processing, and cost and availability of the raw materials
3. Most large scale farmers have their own nutritionists and feed mills, whereas small ones usually depend on consultant nutritionists and commercial feed mills for their feeds, it is therefore essential that formulations are accurate because once feeds are formulated and manufactured; it is often too late to remedy any mistakes or inaccuracies without incurring significant expenses
4. Feed formulation is both a science and an art, requiring knowledge of feed and the particular animal, and some patience and innovation when using formula. Typical formulations indicate the amounts of each ingredient that should be included in the diet, and then provide the concentration of nutrients in the diet. The nutrient composition of the diet will indicate the adequacy of the diet for the particular class of livestock for which it is prepared
5. Feeding the most suitable feed in a manner that encourages fast growth and efficient feed conversion, results in more efficient production and increased profits. About half of the variable production cost in animal production is feed, so a wise farmer reduces the overall cost of production by using the most appropriate feed and feeding it in the manner that most efficiently produces quality livestock
6. Feed formulation requires in-depth knowledge of animal nutrition, particularly the nutrient requirements and the nutrient composition of the ingredients. It also requires nutritionists to know whether using certain proportions of some ingredients will impact on issues such as feed flow through the mill, pellet quality of the diet, response of the diet to feed additives, or gut health of the animal. In some parts of the world, considerations such as the colour, smell and particle size of the feed are viewed as important by the feed buyer, despite that these factors may have little influence on the nutritional quality of the feed
Benefits of using feed mill machine for feed production
1. It reduces the feed expenses of all poultry farmers that can afford to get it
2. Feed grinder and mixer is used simultaneously in poultry farms to crush and mix batch after completion
3. Feed grinder and mixer is less power consumption and easy to operate
4. It provides self-employment job for individuals or organizations that invest on it
5. Feed grinder and mixer can temporarily do the deposit silo use and then run out of processing
6. It enhances large productivity of chicken
Method of feed production
1. Making a 70 kg of layers chick mash (1 to 4 weeks)
Growing chicks require feed with digestible crude protein (DCP) of between 18 to 20 percent. The following formulation can be used to make a 70kg bag of layers chick mash. The ingredients include 31.5kg of whole maize, 9.1kg of wheat bran, 7.0kg of wheat pollard and 16.8 kg of sunflower (or 16.8 kg of linseed). Other are 1.5kg of fishmeal, 1.75kg of lime, 30g of salt 20g of premix Amino acids 70g of tryptophan, 3.0g of lysine, 10g of methionine, 70 g of Threonine, 50g of enzymes, 60g of coccidiostat, 50g of toxin binder
2. Making a 70 kg bag of growers mash (4 to 8 weeks)
Growers (pullets or young layers) should be provided with a feed with a protein content of between 16 and 18 percent. Such feed makes the young layers to grow fast in preparation for egg-laying: The ingredients are 10kg of whole maize, 17kg of maize germ, 13kg of wheat pollard and 10kg of wheat bran. To be added to these are 6kg of cottonseed cake, 5kg of sunflower cake, 3.4kg of soya meal, and 2.07kg of lime. Still to strengthen the nutritional essence one has to add 700g of bone meal, 3kg of fishmeal, 14g of salt, 1g of coccidiostat, 18g of Pre mix, 1g of zinc bacitracitrach and 7g of mycotoxin binder
3. Making a 70 kg bag of layers’ mash (18 weeks and above)
Layer feed should be introduced at 18 weeks. It should contain a Digestible Crude Protein (DCP) content of between 16-18 percent. The feed should contain calcium (lime) for the formation of eggshells (laying hens that do not get enough calcium will use the calcium stored in their own born tissue to produce eggshells). In this instance the ingredients include 34kg of whole maize, 12kg of Soya, 8kg of fishmeal and 10kg of maize bran. Other are rice germ or wheat bran, 6kg of lime, amino acids, 175g premix, 70g lysine, 35g methionine, 70kg threonine, 35g tryptophan and 50g toxin binder
4. Formulating a 70 kg bag of broiler feed
Broilers have different feed requirements in terms of energy, proteins, and minerals during the stages of their growth. It is important that farmers adapt feed rations to these requirements for maximum production
5. Broiler starter feed (1 to 4 weeks)
Young broilers have a high protein requirement for the development of muscles, feathers and their organs. As the broilers grow, their energy requirements for the deposit of fat increase and their protein requirements decrease. They, therefore, require high protein content in their starter rations than in the grower and finisher rations. Broilers should have a feed that has between 22 -24 percent DCP. The following guidelines can help the farmer to make the right feed at each stage of growth: Ingredients include 40kg of whole maize, 12kg of fishmeal (or omega), 14kg of soya bean meal, 4kg of lime, 70g of premix, Amino acids, 35g of lysine and 35g of Threonine
6. Preparing broiler finisher feed (70kg)
What is needed include 10kg of whole maize, 16.7kg of maize germ, 13.3kg of wheat pollard and 10 kg wheat bran, to be added to these are 6 kg of cottonseed cake, 4.7kg of sunflower cake, 3kg of fishmeal 2kg of lime, 3.4kg of soya meal and 40g of bone meal. For the nutritional values to be enhanced 10g of grower PMX, 5g of salt, 5g of coccidiostat and 5g of zincbacitrach should be added
