How Much Feed Should An Animal Feed Pellet Making Machine Produce For Different Chicken Breeds？
Leave a message
I. Core Calculation Logic (General Formula)
1. Basic Formula (Unit: kg/day)
Theoretical Daily Feed Intake = Total Number of Chickens × Daily Feed Intake per Chicken at This Stage
Actual Daily Output of Livestock Pellet Machine = Theoretical Daily Feed Intake × 1.1 (Reserve 10% for Losses/Spare Balance)
2. Key Explanation
The daily feed intake per chicken varies with breed, age, and growth stage (brooding/growing/laying/marketing), and is the core of the calculation.
The 10% reserve covers feed losses, sudden supplemental feeding, and fluctuations in feed intake caused by high temperatures/stress.
II. Calculation of Daily Feed Intake per Bird and Animal Pellet Feeder Output for Mainstream Chicken Breeds
(I) Broiler Chickens (Fast-growing, slaughtered at 42 days)
1. Daily Feed Intake per Bird (g/bird/day)
1-10 days old: Age × 4 (e.g., 7 days old: 28g)
11-20 days old: (Age - 2) ÷ 10 × 50 (e.g., 15 days old: 65g)
21-30 days old: (Age - 1) ÷ 10 × 50 (e.g., 26 days old: 125g)
31-40 days old: Age ÷ 10 × 50 (e.g., 35 days old: 175g)
After 40 days old: Stable at 200g/bird/day
2. Example of Animal Feed Granulator Output Calculation
2000 30-day-old broiler chickens: 2000 × 0.125 = 250kg/day → Pellet mill daily output ≥ 275 kg
5000 40-day-old broiler chickens: 5000 × 0.2 = 1000 kg/day → Pellet mill daily output ≥ 1100 kg
(II) Laying hens (commercial laying hens, full life cycle)
1. Daily feed intake per bird (kg/bird/day)
1-9 day old chicks: (age + 2) × 0.001 (e.g., 7 day old: 0.009 kg)
10-19 day old chicks: (age + 1) × 0.001 (e.g., 15 day old: 0.016 kg)
20-49 day old pullets: 0.05-0.08 kg
50-120 day old pullets: 0.08-0.10 kg
Peak laying period (after 120 days old): 0.12-0.13 kg
2. Animal feed pellet mill Example of Pellet Mill Output Calculation
1000 peak-laying hens: 1000 × 0.125 = 125 kg/day → Pellet mill daily output ≥ 137.5 kg
5000 growing hens: 5000 × 0.09 = 450 kg/day → Pellet mill daily output ≥ 495 kg
(III) Yellow-feathered chickens / Native chickens / Muscovy chickens (slow/medium-speed type)
1. Daily feed intake per bird (kg/bird/day)
1-60 days old: 0.03-0.08 kg
After 60 days old: 0.09-0.12 kg (stabilized until slaughter)
2. Example of Pellet Mill Output Calculation
1500 90-day-old native chickens: 1500 × 0.10 = 150 kg/day → Pellet mill daily output ≥ 165 kg
3000 1. Green-legged Ma chicken: 3000 × 0.11 = 330 kg/day → Daily pellet mill output ≥ 363 kg
(IV) Breeding chickens
1. Daily feed intake per chicken (kg/chick/day)
Growing period: 0.07-0.09 kg
Laying breeder chickens: 0.12-0.14 kg
2. Example of chicken feed pellet maker output calculation
800 laying breeder chickens: 800 × 0.13 = 104 kg/day → Daily pellet mill output ≥ 114.4 kg
III. MIKIM Pellet Mill Recommendation (Suitable for chicken farms of all sizes)
MIKIM poultry pellet making machine's core advantages are precise pelleting, high efficiency and stability, and compatibility with all chicken breeds. The appropriate model can be matched according to the chicken farm size and daily feed requirements to ensure pellet quality and production capacity.

Suitable scenarios: 1000 laying hens (125 kg/day), pelleting completed in 1 hour; 500 30-day-old broilers (150 kg/day), meeting demand in 1 hour.
Core advantages: Small footprint, simple operation, low investment, suitable for self-prepared powder pelleting, suitable for chicks requiring 2-3mm small pellets.
2. Medium-sized chicken farms (1000-5000 laying hens / 500-2000 broilers)
Recommended models: MK-210, MK-260 (flat die / ring die models)
Capacity: 200-600 kg/h
Power: 7.5-15 kW
Suitable scenarios: 5000 laying hens (600 kg/day), MK-260 completes in 1 hour; 2000 40-day-old broilers (400 kg/day), MK-210 completes in 2 hours.
