Recently, in the production workshop of an agricultural and animal husbandry technology company in Kazakhstan, the sound of machines roared, and bundles of cotton straw were input into the feeding port through the conveyor belt. After high-temperature puffing treatment, it was mixed with silage corn and entered the subsequent fermentation stage, and will eventually become a high-nutrition feed that cattle and sheep love to eat.

The project was introduced by Kazakhstan customers from RICHI MACHINERY related technologies and straw pellet production line equipment, turning cotton straw into base material and feed, and stringing together the ecological agricultural cycle chain, thus saying goodbye to the traditional straw return to the field and burning and returning to the field, turning the former “ecological burden” into “green wealth”, and achieving a win-win situation of economic benefits, ecological benefits and social benefits.

With the blessing of RICHI straw pelleting technology, the customer company opened a “forage supermarket” to meet the needs of farmers at different levels. At present, the company produces three types of feed. One is pure cotton stalks processed feed, which is cheap and suitable for ordinary farmers; the second is cotton stalks and corn stalks processed feed, mainly used to feed sheep; the third is high-quality feed processed from cotton stalks, corn stalks, and alfalfa straw, mainly for large-scale farmers.

As a local crop straw comprehensive utilization project, the company’s straw pellet plant project has a total investment of US$430,000, including the purchase of more than 50 production equipment, the construction of a 1,400-square-meter processing workshop and a 5,000-square-meter finished product storage area, and 1 pellet production line.

Kazakhstan is rich in straw resources. The use of straw as feed not only helps to develop grain-saving animal husbandry, but also effectively avoids the pollution of rural living environment caused by open-air stacking or burning of straw. It also effectively alleviates the shortage of animal husbandry feed and promotes the circular development of local agriculture and animal husbandry.
