Generally speaking, piglet rearing has a great relationship with its future growth performance. The weight of weaned piglets is not only directly related to their future fattening rate, but also affects the fattening quality of fattening pigs. Piglets are physically weak, are prone to disease, death or poor growth, and the feeding process during lactation is burdensome and complicated; salivary amylase, sucrase, maltase, and pepsin activities are very low at the time of birth, and neurological and humoral regulation is not fully established, delayed gastric acid secretion, and fast emptying of food through the stomach. Due to the above reasons, the digestive function of the piglets is very imperfect, and high-quality suckling pig feed should be adapted to it, otherwise the piglets may easily cause indigestion.

So what kind of suckling pig feed is good quality suckling pig feed? High-quality suckling pig feed should be good palatability, piglets love to eat and not simmer, low feed-to-meat ratio and fast growth, can well solve weaning stress, can well adapt to the development needs of large-scale farms, and feed economically and conveniently and the piglets that can stand the test of the market and have a large sales volume are good piglets. It requires not only a good scientific formula but also a good and sophisticated processing technology, the formula is the purpose processing technology is the means. How to turn a good scientific formula into a high-quality product is determined by the processing technology, so once the formula is determined, the processing technology is the key. Reasonable formula and high-quality raw materials can only produce high-quality feed under reliable processing equipment and scientific process.

The main ingredients of suckling pig feed are cereal starch (corn) and detoxified soy protein. The main purpose of processing is to sterilize and to gelatinize starch. These are not difficult to do. The key is how to reasonably configure feed processing equipment and processing technology so as to maximize the starch gelatinization degree of suckling pig feed while minimizing the loss of other nutrients and maximizing Production capacity, reducing power consumption per unit of output, thereby reducing processing costs.
