It can be a poultry feed production business plan, a livestock feed production business plan, a cattle feed business plan, also a fish feed production business plan, etc. Here I will share a 15t/h pig and chicken feed production business plan, show you what we should pay attention to when start feed mill business.

Animal Feed Production Business Plan Of 15T/H Animal Feed Processing Plant

  • Project Name: Commercial Animal Compound Feed Processing Plant Project with an annual output of 36,000 tons(120 tons per day, 15 tons per hour)
  • Project location: Shandong Province, China
  • Construction Nature: Expansion
  • Total animal feed processing plant cost: 250,000 USD

Background and positive impact

The animal feed industry is a basic industry related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and plays a pivotal role in the national economy. With the development and improvement of animal nutrition, feed science and the technological level of animal feed industry, the feed industry has been continuously developed and played an increasingly important role in the national economy.

At present, the development of China's feed industry has entered a mature stage. It has shifted from quantitative expansion and rapid development to optimized structure and steady improvement. The serialization direction is developing, and the product structure is also being adjusted. These changing trends are becoming more and more obvious as the degree of marketization increases and competition intensifies.

In 2009, the client feed company leased a flour mill to build a livestock feed production line(intensive livestock feed production system) for feed manufacturing. The entire feed factory project with an annual output of 120,000 tons was completed by RICHI from design, animal feed machines manufacturing to feed mill factory erection and commissioning. In 2019, based on the good market prospects, the customer's animal feed processing plant will add a 15t/h production line on the original basis.

Pig and chicken feed manufacturing process

  1. Animal feed processing plant feeding section
    The raw materials are divided into powder and pellets. The feeding is divided into two feeding ports. The pellets need to be crushed and mixed, and the powder can be directly blended without being crushed.
  2. Animal feed mill plant cleaning section
    Impurities in feed ingredients not only affect the quality of feed products, but also directly affect animal feed processing plant equipment and personal safety. In severe cases, the entire animal feed equipment can be damaged and affect the smooth progress of animal feed production, so it should be removed in time.

    (1) Among the feed ingredients, the impurities in animal protein feed and mineral feed are all completed in the production of raw materials, and generally do not need to be cleaned up in the pig and chicken feed production.
    (2) The main feed ingredients that need to be cleaned up are grain feed and its processed by-products. It mainly cleans up rocks, soil, bags, ropes, metal debris, etc.

    Check whether the quality of the raw materials has changed during the feeding, and take corresponding treatment measures in time when the raw materials are found to be abnormal, and strictly require that the unqualified raw materials be selected in time and cannot enter the next process. If corn is susceptible to mold contamination and carries toxins, mold kernels should be sorted out; low-quality soybean meal with abnormal color, bad smell, and moldy agglomeration should not be used as a feed material.
  3. Animal feed plant grinding section
    The purpose of this process is to control the particle size of the material. It is an important link that determines the production capacity of the 15 tons feed mill factory. At the same time, it is also the process with the largest energy consumption in the production of powdered materials. The size of crushing varies with the difference between animals. When the size of crushing does not meet the requirements of livestock and poultry, the digestion and absorption after the livestock and poultry are eaten will be affected. Moreover, when materials that do not meet the particle size requirements are produced, it will seriously affect feed quality and animal feed mill production efficiency.
  4. Animal feed plant batching process
    The ingredients are the process of accurately weighing a variety of different feed ingredients by using a specific ingredient device according to the requirements of the feed formula.
  5. Animal feed plant mixing process

    (1)The mixing process is to unload various raw materials prepared by the batching scale in batches into the feed mixer according to the animal feed plant production plan, add grease as needed, and set the mixing time according to the performance of the feed making equipment to ensure that all components are evenly mixed and meet the requirements of mixing uniformity.

    (2) The mixed powder will be put into the bin to be granulated for tempering and granulating. In this production link, the difference in the particle size of the mixture, the difference in the density of the material, and the working state of the machinery and equipment will also affect the uniformity of the mixing. Machine maintenance personnel regularly check the equipment and regularly test the efficiency of the mixer. For example, check whether there are more materials on the inner surface of the mixer, whether the discharge door switch is in place, etc., generally check once a month.
  6. Feed mill granulation & crumbling & screening process

    (1)All materials enter the compression chamber of the animal feed pellet machine and are compressed into pellet feed. The magnetic separation equipment must be cleaned regularly to prevent iron impurities from damaging the pelletizer machine. The steam volume, feeding speed and rotation speed should be adjusted according to the requirements of the pellet type during tempering. The ring die (aperture diameter) , compression ratio, material, etc.).
    (2) The pellets that need to be crumbled according to the variety requirements are crumbled into a suitable pellet size through a crumbler.

    Conditioning before pelleting is a more difficult step. The adjustment of steam and feed rate during conditioning is related to feed quality and production efficiency. The retention time of conditioning affects the quality of soybean oil for conditioning and pelleting. This process also has a significant impact on the heat-sensitive nutrients vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin B1, vitamin C and folic acid. When the pellets are cut or crumbled, the last process of pellet formation is to adjust the cutter to break into more suitable pellets.
  7. Feed mill packaging section
    The feed that meets the required particle size is weighed by the automatic packaging equipment from the finished product warehouse, packaged in a packaging bag, placed in the corresponding label, and then palletized by seam. The packer shall conduct a comprehensive inspection of the product, check the crushing particle size of raw grains such as corn, check the color, smell, and particle size of the finished material, check that the label and packaging bag are consistent with the product type, and check that the packaging weight is within the specified error range.
