1 FEED MILLING TECHNOLOGY.

2 INTRODUCTION Feed is Major Cost in Animal Production  % of the cost of Poultry Production.  70% of the cost of Finishing Cattle.  55% of the cost of Producing Milk.  50% of the cost of Finishing Lamb.

3 ESSENTIALS OF FEED MILLING  Developed & Fenced Land  Buildings For Warehousing  Buildings For Plant  Buildings For Laboratory & Workshop  Buildings For Boilers & Power generating sets  Weigh Bridge  Plant & Machinery

4 PRIMARY MINIUMUM REQUREMENTS  Electric Power  Water  Workforce (Skilled, Semi-Skilled, Unskilled, Clerical, Managerial & Technical)  Canteen & Mess  Proper Transport Facilities For Workers & Goods  Security Staff  First Aid Kit

5 Feed is produced all over the world in Mash & Pellet forms, but basic processes are same Procurement of raw material Quality control Intake/Weighing PROCESSES IN FEED MANUFACTURING

6 Storage Solids Silos Godowns Liquids Tanks/Pits PROCESSES IN FEED MANUFACTURING

10 GRINDING Grinding is that process by which a feedstuff is reduced in particle size by impact (forcing), shearing (cutting), or attrition (friction). Expose greater surface area for digestion. Improve ease of handling of some ingredients. Improve mixing characteristics of ingredients. Increase pelleting efficiency & pellet quality. Satisfy customer preference.

11 PELLETING Pelleting is the agglomeration (collact into a mass) of feed by compacting & forcing it through die openings by mechanical process. Feed is pelleted for the purpose of ;  Facilitating mechanization in handling. Eliminating fines & dust, increasing palatability.  Increasing feed density, thereby lessening transportation & labor costs.  Reduce storage space  Improving the nutritional value of feedstuff through instantaneous heat & pressure.

12 CONDITIONS WHICH INFLUENCE PELLET QUALITY  Raw material composition.  Seasonal effect.  Grinding.  Binders- naturals or artificial.  Fat/Oil addition.  Conditioning with steam.  Pellet press capacity (throughput).  Die Thickness, hole diameter, speed, working area  Cooling.  Storing.  Process control.
