Is a floating fish feed making machine Only for Fish Feed Pellets?

The extrusion function of a small fish feed pellet making machine can significantly improve the quality of livestock and poultry feed and enhance breeding efficiency. For broilers and laying hens, the extruded feed has fully gelatinized starch, making it easier to digest and absorb, thus increasing growth rate and egg production. For piglets and fattening pigs, extruded feed can destroy anti-nutritional factors (such as trypsin inhibitors) in the raw materials, reducing gastrointestinal diseases and improving feed conversion rate. For example, when using a fish feed pellet machine to produce broiler feed, the starch gelatinization rate of raw materials such as corn and soybean meal reaches 86% after extrusion, increasing feed conversion rate by 15%-20% and shortening the time to market for broilers by 7-10 days. When producing piglet feed, extrusion can inactivate anti-nutritional factors in soybean meal, reducing the incidence of diarrhea in piglets by more than 50% and increasing growth rate by 10%-15%.

 

Small pet food making machines have clearly defined parameters and formulation adaptation points for producing different livestock and poultry feeds. For broiler feed production: Temperature 120-130℃, pressure 3-4MPa, rotation speed 320-360r/min, die orifice diameter 3-4mm, formula: 45% corn, 30% soybean meal, 15% wheat bran, 5% fishmeal, 5% premix, ensuring balanced energy and protein. For layer hen feed production: Temperature 115-125℃, pressure 2.5-3.5MPa, rotation speed 300-330r/min, die orifice diameter 3mm, increase calcium powder ratio (8%-10%) in the formula to meet egg production requirements. For piglet feed production: Temperature 130-140℃, pressure 4-5MPa, rotation speed 280-320r/min, die orifice diameter 2-3mm, formula mainly composed of corn, soybean meal, and fishmeal, with fishmeal accounting for 10%-15%, improving protein content and digestibility.

 

Practical cases from small and medium-sized livestock and poultry farmers fully demonstrate its feasibility. A small chicken farm (with 5,000 broilers) used a floating fish feed extruder machine to produce broiler feed. By adjusting parameters and formula, the feed cost was reduced by 40% compared to purchasing finished products, the uniformity of broiler weight at slaughter increased by 25%, the incidence of disease decreased by 30%, and the overall breeding efficiency improved by more than 20%. This shows that fish feed pellet machines are not only feasible in livestock and poultry feed production, but can also bring significant cost savings and efficiency improvements to farmers, especially suitable for users who simultaneously engage in aquaculture and livestock and poultry farming.
