Raw material requirements——Key points for production technology of laying hen feed(1)

For laying hen breeding, the high requirements for feed quality are for a long egg production period, high egg production rate, good egg quality, and good feed digestion and utilization rate, which can improve the breeding environment of laying hen farms and improve laying hens. Economic and social benefits. How to ensure that the feed achieves the above goals, based on years of technical formula service experience, Richi Machinery summed up some of the experience of formula technology for feed production in laying hen farms. Let me talk about the first point today:

1. Scientific formulas must be guaranteed by high-quality raw materials before they can be converted into high-quality feed products. Farmers mostly buy or directly purchase market raw materials from local distributors. Due to unstable sources and large variations in batch quality, each batch of raw materials should be sampled and tested for quality assessment.

2. Reasonable inventory should be made for high-quality raw materials, and the warehouse should be kept cool and ventilated. All feed materials must be used up within the shelf life to ensure the stability of each batch of feed material quality.

3. Follow the principle of first-in, first-out for feed ingredients, and try to achieve zero inventory of finished products.

4. Take appropriate anti-mildew measures for raw materials.

Process equipment required for laying hen feed:

（1）Cleaning Machine .To ensure the feed processing plant cleaning is an important aspect. Different type of cleaner used for this purpose.

（2）Conveying machine. All transportations like bucket elevator, screw & chain conveyor etc. for conveying raw material and finished pellets.

（3）Crushing machine .Raw materials need to be grinded as pellet size for different type of chicken feed.

（4）Mixing machine .Different raw material are mixed here with additives（oil/fat）, medicines, etc. Good mixer machine ensure good feed quality.

（5）Chicken feed pellet making machine. Produce final pellet feed. A good pellet means "A complete feed" and a good mill can ensure that.

（6）Cooling machine .Extruded feeds are about 70-90° C. Cooler bring down it at normal temperature (+4° max).

（7）Screening machine. To ensure supply of quality and perfect size feed, screener plays a vital role. Uneven sizes screaned-out.

（8）Bagging machine .Ready feed need to be packed. It can be manual or automatic bagging depends on requirement.
