Cattle hemp grass feed pellet production Process design

Based on the raw materials and process requirements provided by customers, the process flow of the fully automatic cattle feed plant in USA customized by RICHI is as follows:

1. 1st Crushing:
   The bundled or very long grass raw materials are conveyed by belt conveyor (fully enclosed during the conveying process) to the baler or hay cutter (fully enclosed treatment) for preliminary crushing into smaller particles.
   Since the raw material particles are large and the particle size of the crushed materials is also large, less dust is generated. (Since the grass raw materials used by customers at different times are different, we have configured crushing equipment suitable for all types of grass for customers.)
2. Screening:
   The crushed materials are transported by belt conveyor to the screening machine (fully enclosed treatment) for screening. The impurities screened are mainly soil.
3. 2nd Crushing:
   The screened materials are transported by belt conveyor to the hammer mill crusher (fully enclosed treatment) for crushing. The conveying process is fully enclosed, and dust will be generated during the crushing process.
4. Granulation:
   The semi-finished products after crushing are transported to the granulation room through a closed auger for granulation. The main drive of the cattle feed grass pellet machine adopts high-efficiency belt drive. The motor drives the main shaft through the gear box.
   The main shaft drives the grinding disc to rotate. The pressure roller rotates around the pressure roller shaft. The main shaft rotates while driving the pressure roller to rotate.
   The raw materials are sent to the feeding room and all the materials fall on the ring die. The main shaft drives the grinding disc to rotate, and the pressure roller continuously rolls over the material layer to squeeze the material into the die hole.
   The material undergoes the molding and shape-keeping process in the die hole. After a certain period of time, it is extruded in a cylindrical state. The cutter cuts the material to form grass pellets.
5. Screening:
   The cattle grass feed pellets are screened out of defective products through a screening machine, and the defective products are returned to production.
6. Cooling:
   The temperature of the qualified cattle feed pellets formed by pressing is generally 50-60℃, and they need to be cooled before packaging.
7. Packaging:
   The cooled cattle grass feed products are packaged and stored.

Prospects of building cattle feed plant in United States to process grass feed

‌The prospects for processing grass feed in the United States are positive and have broad development space. ‌As a major livestock production country, the United States has a highly developed forage production and processing industry, which provides a solid material and technical guarantee for grass feed processing.

The annual output value of the US animal husbandry industry is more than 90 billion US dollars, and the annual output value of forage accounts for about 23% of the output value of animal husbandry, showing the importance and market size of grass feed processing.

The development characteristics and trends of the US grass feed processing industry are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

• First, the United States has advanced processing technology and equipment, which can efficiently process a large amount of raw materials.
• Secondly, the grass feed processing industry is closely integrated with animal husbandry to form a complete industrial chain.
• Finally, the government and the industry attach great importance to and support grass feed processing, which has promoted the sustainable development of the industry.

Faced with challenges such as high feed costs, the US grass feed processing industry has responded by optimizing production processes, adopting advanced management methods and technological innovation. For example, the application of the total mixed ration (TMR) program ensures that while ensuring nutritional quality, costs are reduced and economic benefits are improved.

In summary, the US grass feed processing industry has broad development prospects, thanks to its advanced processing technology, complete industrial chain, and support from the government and industry.

In the face of challenges, through technological innovation and management optimization, the US grass feed processing industry will continue to maintain its global leading position.

The value of grass feed to cattle breeding

The value of grass feed to cattle breeding is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

• Providing rich nutrition:
  Grass feed is rich in nutrients such as protein, carbohydrates, cellulose, vitamins and minerals, which can meet the growth and development and energy needs of cattle. For example, alfalfa, ryegrass, elephant grass and other grasses are high in protein and cellulose, which helps cattle digestion and health.
• Promoting digestion and health:
  The high cellulose in grass feed helps promote the health of cattle's digestive system and reduce problems such as gastrointestinal inflammation and diarrhea. For example, ryegrass and elephant grass not only provide nutrition, but also improve cattle's immunity and disease resistance.
• ‌Reduce breeding costs‌:
  By planting high-yield and high-quality forage varieties, the yield and quality of forage can be increased, thereby reducing the price of forage and reducing breeding costs. In addition, grass feed can also drive the development of related industries, such as processing and transportation, further reducing breeding costs.
• ‌Promote ecological cycle‌:
  The waste generated by cattle breeding can be used as organic fertilizer through grass feed, improve soil fertility, promote crop growth, reduce environmental pollution, and achieve sustainable development of animal husbandry.
• ‌Improve meat quality and market competitiveness‌:
  High-quality grass feed is rich in nutrients, which helps cattle grow healthily, improves the quality and yield of meat, eggs, milk and other products, increases market competitiveness, and improves the economic benefits of farmers.
