What Are the Advantages of Processing Feed with a small dry dog food making machine?

content

 

Pelleted feed processed by a dry dog ​​food making machine has a far superior palatability compared to powdered feed. This advantage stems from the physical and chemical changes during the pelleting process. The pellet mill uses extrusion to tightly bind the raw materials, forming smooth, uniform pellets. This avoids the problems of powdered feed being friable and having a rough texture, significantly increasing the feeding enthusiasm of farmed animals (such as chickens, pigs, and fish). More importantly, when a pellet mill is used in conjunction with an extruder, the high temperature and pressure (120-140℃, 3-5MPa) of the extruder allows the starch in the raw materials to be fully gelatinized, with a gelatinization rate of over 85%, and the protein to undergo moderate denaturation, forming a structure that is more easily digested and absorbed. For example, in fish farming, fish feed that has been gelatinized by a floating fish feed extruder and then pelleted significantly reduces the digestive burden on the fish's intestines, increases nutrient absorption efficiency by 20%-30%, and significantly accelerates growth.

 

Pelleted feed can prevent farmed animals from being picky eaters and ensure a balanced intake of nutrients, an advantage that powdered feed cannot match. Different raw materials in powdered feed have varying specific gravities and particle sizes, easily leading to stratification. Animals may selectively consume preferred components, resulting in nutritional deficiencies. Dog food manufacturing equipment, however, uniformly mixes multiple raw materials and extrudes them into pellets, ensuring each pellet contains the complete formula, forcing animals to ingest comprehensive nutrition. When used with an extruder, high-temperature cooking further destroys anti-nutritional factors (such as gossypol and phytic acid) in the raw materials, reducing feed toxicity and improving nutritional safety. For example, in laying hen farming, extruded pelleted feed allows hens to evenly ingest protein, minerals, and other nutrients, increasing egg production by 10%-15% and resulting in more stable egg quality.

 

Furthermore, the palatability of pelleted feed can be precisely adjusted using the parameters of the dog food making machine to suit different growth stages of animals. By changing the die diameter of the pellet mill, pellets of different sizes (1-8mm) can be produced; finer pellets are used for young animals, and coarser pellets for adult animals. Simultaneously, adjusting the extrusion pressure controls the hardness and crispness of the pellets to meet the chewing needs of different animals. When used with an extruder, the degree of cooking of the feed can be controlled by adjusting the extrusion temperature, further optimizing the taste and making the feed more suitable for the feeding habits of the livestock, thereby indirectly improving the efficiency of nutrient absorption.
