As long as poultry animals include chickens, ducks, geese, etc., there are also birds of other families such as turkeys, pigeons, quails and various songbirds. Today we are talking about chickens that account for the largest proportion of poultry farming.

1.How to make pellets for chicken in small poultry feed mill？

This problem usually comes from customers of small poultry feed mills and chicken farms or poultry fams. The chicken poultry pellet feed production process is mainly physical changes. Without changing the nutrients contained in the raw materials, the poultry feed raw materials and additives are mixed together. Because the quality of chicken feed pellets directly affects the animal's feeding status, and ultimately affects the quality of products and the interests of farmers, it is very important for farmers to produce high-quality chicken feed pellets.

Small poultry feed mill chicken feed pellet manufacturing process

(1)Material selection for small poultry feed mill

Choose chicken feed making raw materials and suitable chicken feed additives that can provide the chickens with the different nutrients they need. In addition, the ratio of each material must be strictly controlled, because it will directly affect the durability of the poultry feed pellets for chicken.

(2)Crushing for small poultry feed mill

The raw materials for chicken pellets are then sent to the crushing system of small poultry feed mill for chicken pellet feed. This chicken feed crushing section reduces the size of the particles as per the consumption size of chickens. The chicken feed raw material is at first uneven in size and is mostly big that makes it unfindable to small chickens. This is why the raw materials for chicken feed are first subjected to the chicken feed grinding system that crushes the chicken pellet raw material into small bits which can then be turned into proper chicken feed pellets. This helps chicken poultry animals achieve greater nutrition hence making them more capable and healthy.

(3)Mixing for small poultry feed mill

This chicken feed mixing section as the name suggests batches or segregates chicken feed raw materials as per the requirement of the consumption size of the chicken. This process often comes after chicken feed grinding and just before mixing of the raw materials with the feed. This system consists of 3 basic parts such as Vertical Spout magnet that remove metallic ingredients from the pellets, bucket elevator that removes heavy particles and the chicken poultry feed mixer machine which is the most important of them all mix the chicken pellets properly together.

(4)Pelletizing for small poultry feed mill

After Batching the soft feed is then sent for the final process which is called Pelletizing or chicken pellets making process. In this chicken feed pelleting step, the modulation of the material and the control of the physical state are critical to the quality of the chicken pellets. Heat, water addition time, water addition, and evaporation are all important factors for granulation. The die hole diameter and die thickness of the ring die poultry chicken feed pellet machine also affect the pellet quality, relative hardness and yield.

In ring die poultry chicken feed pellet machine, the soft feed is turned into compact pellets that are easy to store and transport. These chicken feed pellets are formed by forcing the soft pellets through metal holes and cutting them into small pieces as per the consumption of animals. This chicken feed pellet making process is very important as it's responsible for the proper nutrition of chickens that eat them. This regulates a number of calories they get through the pellets for chicken. This is also helpful when there's a need to increase or decrease the chicken diet.

In addition, there are cooling, screening, packing, crushing and other sections, but these sections can be configured according to the actual needs and costs of customers. For example, if natural cooling is used, then there is no need to configure a cooler; if manual packaging is used, then there is no need to configure a packaging scale. Of course, these are all based on small-scale chicken feed processing such as small-scale poultry feed mills or chicken farms.

In the process of raising chickens, feed is a very important part. Today, when the price of raw materials is rising, it is a good way to reduce costs if you can make chicken feed with local materials. Because many raw materials are not easy to digest and absorb, you can add feed starter, take Golden Baby feed starter as a simple production method, and mix corn flour, wheat bran, rice bran, and rapeseed meal at 20:30:10:40.

Proportion, the starter is added in the amount of two thousandths, after stirring evenly, add water and mix wet, the water content of the mixture is controlled at about 65%, and then put into the wine jar, plastic bag and other sealed containers, and seal the fermentation for two to three when the fragrant and sweet wine aroma is present, the fermentation is complete and the chicken feed can be opened. The complete chicken feed can be replaced by the method of gradually increasing the amount. The replacement amount can account for 40-50% of the total feed for chickens. The cost is greatly reduced, which is very cost-effective.

Chicken feed formula, chicken feed pellet production and other contents are the knowledge that chicken farmers must understand when preparing chicken feed.

It has gained popularity recently because of the many advantages of feeding chicken with granular feed over feeding it with powder/mud or other forms of feed. The reasons behind their popularity are：

• Improved feed conversion: most studies and field tests have shown that pellet feeds can improve the conversion rate of chicken feed compared with mash feed.
• Reduced dust: pellet feed has almost no dust, unlike mash feed, which has much more dust. The dusty feed has poor taste and poses a risk of respiratory disease in chickens.
• Less wastage of feeds: with pelleted feeds the feed wastage during feeding is drastically reduced.
• Occupies less storage area: pellet feed takes up less space per unit weight during bagging and storage, so it is easy to store.
• Impossible for chicken to sort the feed because it is all mixed into solid pellets therefore chicken eat all the necessary but less palatable sections of the feed together with the more palatable portions as they cannot be separated.
• Sanitation: the high operating pressure and high temperature during the chicken feed pelleting process will kill most of the parasites found in the chicken feed, thus naturally reducing the parasitic load of the chicken.
