Different types of specialized animals require different feed characteristics, necessitating adjustments to the structure and parameters of the floating fish feed extruder machine. For herbivorous animals like rabbits, the crude fiber content needs to be 18%-22%, with main ingredients including alfalfa, peanut vines, and corn husks. Processing should follow the adjustment scheme for ruminant feeds, requiring the addition of a forced feeding device, replacement of the die with a 6mm aperture, and grinding of raw materials to below 2mm. Simultaneously, the proportion of energy ingredients in rabbit feed must be controlled; corn flour addition should not exceed 20% to prevent diarrhea in rabbits. Adding 5% wheat bran can improve pellet permeability. One farmer used a formula of 50% alfalfa meal, 15% corn flour, 10% soybean meal, and 25% wheat bran, processed with a modified fish feed pelleter, achieving a 92% pellet formation rate for rabbits, and resulting in significant improvement in the rabbits' intestinal health after consumption.

For carnivorous animals like foxes and mink, the protein content needs to be 35%-40%, with main ingredients including fishmeal, chicken meal, and animal offal. These ingredients are similar in characteristics to fish feed, making them more suitable. Simply replace the mold with one with a 4-5mm aperture, reduce the compression ratio to 1:5, and control the processing temperature at 90-100℃ to avoid damaging animal proteins at high temperatures. Raw materials need to be ground to 80 mesh to ensure that animal offal and other ingredients are thoroughly refined and mixed evenly with fishmeal and grain powder. To improve palatability, 3%-5% animal oil can be added before processing, while controlling the fat content to no more than 15% to prevent obesity in animals such as foxes. One farmer used a formula of 30% fishmeal, 20% chicken meal, 25% corn meal, 20% animal offal powder, and 5% vegetable powder to process feed, resulting in a 20% increase in fox growth rate and a significant increase in farming efficiency.

Specialized aquaculture feed processing requires personalized adjustments. Bamboo rat feed needs to increase the proportion of bamboo powder (40%-50%), and an 8mm aperture mold should be used. Quail feed pellets have a small diameter (2mm), requiring a corresponding mold replacement and an increase in screw speed to 250 rpm. During processing, raw materials must be tested to ensure they are free of harmful substances. At the same time, the formula and particle size should be adjusted according to the growth stage of the special animals to meet different needs.
