cattle feed production line types
According to the type of feed output, the cattle feed pellet production lines we can provide can be divided into the following types:
compound cattle feed production line
Used to produce compound feed. It must be a feed that contains all nutrients in a balanced proportion and meets the various nutritional needs of cattle. This is one of the most common cattle feed processing systems. The process flow mainly includes: cleaning-crushing-mixing-granulation-cooling-screening-packing.
cattle grass feed production line
Used to process cattle feed made from only grasses, such as hay, fresh grass, alfalfa, timothy, elephant grass, giant grass, straw and other similar raw materials. This is another common cattle feed system. The process flow mainly includes: bale breaking/drying-forage crushing-granulation-cooling-screening-packaging.
Fermented cattle feed production line
Using advanced biological fermentation technology, feed raw materials are converted into fermented feed integrating microbial protein, active amino acids, probiotics, and complex enzyme preparations. While supplementing animal nutrition, it promotes digestion and absorption and improves animal immunity.
Cattle Premix feed production line
Cattle premix feed production line is used to process cattle premix feed. The cattle premix is composed of a carrier that mixes one or more different trace raw materials, such as vitamins, minerals, trace elements or drugs, and they do not contain protein feed. The amount of premix used in feed is usually 1% or less.
How is cattle feed made? cattle feed production process
The cattle feed production process technology can be briefly summarized as: raw material reception and cleaning → crushing → batching → mixing → forming → measurement and packaging and other main processes.
(If it is a cattle feed production line for processing grass-containing feed, depending on the different storage conditions of the grass, it is necessary to add equipment such as bale breakers, hay cutters, and grass grinders to the process. Eventually, the grass raw materials will appear in the form of grass powder in the mixing section. )
01 Raw material receiving
Receiving raw materials is the first process to ensure the quality of feed products. The settings of receiving equipment and processes must ensure the safe storage of raw materials. During the receiving process, raw material cleaning equipment must be reasonably combined.
02 Raw material cleaning
Impurities mixed in cattle feed ingredients, if not cleaned in advance, will affect product quality and even affect animal growth, damage equipment during processing, and affect production. Generally, the cleaning of animal-derived feed, minerals, trace elements and other raw materials is mostly completed in raw material processing plants.
Cereal raw materials and their processing by-products must be cleaned of ropes, cloths, plastic films, sand, metal and other debris. The usual method of cleaning raw materials is to first screen and then magnetically separate, supplemented by suction and dust removal facilities.
03 Crushing process
The crushing process is one of the main processes in the cattle feed production line. The quality of crushing directly affects the quality, output, power consumption and other comprehensive costs of feed production, and also affects the intrinsic quality and feeding effect of the feed. For crushing particle size control, just select the corresponding screen hole for the hammer crusher.
04 Dosing system
Ingredients are the core part of the feed processing technology, and the correct implementation of the formula is guaranteed by the ingredients process. The changes in the batching system are mainly to adapt to the increase in added varieties, the reduction in the amount added, and the improvement of weighing accuracy.
At the same time, the weighing cycle should be shortened and the production volume per unit time should be increased.
05 Mixing system
Mixing is an important link to ensure feed quality and improve feed returns. The key to the mixing process is how to ensure uniform mixing. There are three main aspects to consider: mixing time, mixer door and preventing grading after mixing. The mixing time is generally designed to match the batching time of the scale and the mixing time recommended by the mixer manufacturer.
06 Pelleting & Cooling Process
The granulation process includes: granulation and cooling. After the mixed materials are conditioned from the pelleting bin, they are sent to the compression chamber of the cattle feed pellet machine and compressed into pellet feed.
The newly made pellets are still in a state of high humidity and temperature and need to be cooled in a cooling equipment. After cooling in the cooling tower, it is screened by screening equipment to obtain standard pellets. We can also provide cattle feed extruder to process extruded cattle feed pellets.
07 Screening & packaging section
The feed is weighed from the finished product warehouse through a packaging scale, put into packaging bags, and then the packer inserts the label and seals it, and then is transported to the warehouse by a transport truck for stacking.
The above process is based on the processing of complete compound cattle feed as an example. If you want to process other types of cattle feed, contact us to customize your cattle livestock feed production line plan!

How to choose a suitable cattle feed production line?
In the agricultural field, the choice of animal feed production line is an important decision, which directly affects the growth effect and breeding efficiency of animals. Especially for cattle husbandry, the quality of feed is directly related to the growth rate and meat quality of the animals. So, how to choose a suitable cattle feed production line?
- Clarify the classification of cattle feed production lines.
Generally speaking, powder feed production lines are suitable for producing feeds with lower protein content, while pellet feed production lines are suitable for producing feeds with higher protein content. Therefore, when selecting a feed production line, it needs to be determined according to the type of feed produced. - Consider the production capacity of the cattle feed production line.
Production capacity refers to the amount of feed the production line can produce every day.
When selecting a feed production line, we need to determine the production capacity of the production line based on the scale of investment, the scale of the cattle feed factory, the size and demand of the breeding farm. If the investment is large or the scale of the farm is large and the demand is large, then you need to choose a large-capacity feed production line. - Consider the price of a cattle feed production line.
Price is an important factor affecting breeding costs. When choosing a feed production line, you need to choose a reasonably priced production line based on your own economic conditions.
At the same time, it is also important to note that although lower-priced production lines may save some costs on initial investment, in long-term operation, the overall operating costs may increase due to the costs of maintenance and replacement of parts. - Consider the stability and reliability of the cattle feed production line.
Stability and reliability are important factors to ensure the normal operation of the feed production line. When choosing a feed production line, you need to choose a production line with good stability and low failure rate. At the same time, we also need to regularly maintain and inspect the production line to ensure its stable operation.
In general, choosing a suitable cattle feed production line requires comprehensive consideration of many factors. We need to make a selection based on the type of feed produced, the size and needs of the farm, our own economic conditions, and the stability and reliability of the equipment.
