Raw material formula of livestock feed pellet machine
When using a livestock pellet machine to produce feed pellets, the digestive needs and growth stages of different livestock determine the raw material formula. Generally, two main formulas can be categorized. For example, a New Zealand customer specializing in goat farming uses our customized goat feed pellet machine to produce a blend of grain and alfalfa pellets. This not only ensures the flock’s crude fiber intake, but also improves feed utilization and overall health.
Pure Grain Formula
- Main Ingredients: High-energy grains such as corn, wheat, oats, and soybean meal.
- Features: High in energy and easy to digest, suitable for rapid weight gain during growth or for high-yield cattle such as dairy and beef cattle.
- Suitable Animals: Non-ruminants such as pigs, chickens, ducks, and geese, as well as ruminants in high-yield periods.
- Advantages: Simple formula, manageable costs, suitable for large-scale production, and high production efficiency.
Grain + Grass/Green Feed Formula
- Ingredient Composition: Primarily grain, with added hay, alfalfa, silage, or other forages.
- Features: Increased crude fiber content aids digestion in ruminants (such as cattle and sheep) while also regulating intestinal health.
- Applicable Animals: Ruminants such as cattle, sheep, and horses.
- Benefits: Improves feed utilization, suitable for long-term breeding and the nutritional needs of ruminants, and prevents digestive problems.

What is Animal Feed Pellet Production Line?
+
The livestock animal feed pellet machine can not only be used individually to make feed pellets, but also can combine with other pelletizing equipment to start an animal feed production line. The production line is equipped with: crushing, mixing, pelletizing, cooling, screening, packing section.
Next is the production process of the feed pellet production line:
- The Crushing Section: First of all, feed the raw materials into the feed crusher to do the crushing section.
- The Mixing Section: After crushing, the crushed material enters the double shaft paddle mixer for mixing. Then they will be delivered to next section
- The Pelletizing Section: After mixing, the material is conveyed to the pelletizing section. the materials are fed into the conditioner through a variable frequency impeller feeder. Then the cooked materials enter the pelletizing chamber for pelletizing.
- The Cooling Section: After pelletizing , the materials enter the cooling section and screening section to cool to room temperature for packing
- The Packing Section: After the cooling and screening is completed, then enter into the packing section to pack the feed pellets.
How to make pig feed pellets?
+
The process of making livestock feed pellets mainly contains: crushing, mixing, pelletizing, cooling, packaging and etc. And the most critical step is pelletizing. The main equipment is livestock feed pellet machine.
You should crush and mix your materials before pelletizing. Crushing can ensure the materials are in the crusher in small sizes, which are easy to mix with other materials. Then all powder is mixed consistently in the feed mixer. With the help of the forced feeder, the mixed materials are then fed into the pig feed pellet machine which finally produces the feed pellets. After pelletizing, the temperature and humidity of the pellets are relatively high, so we need to cool the finished pellets.
Troubleshooting of livestock feed pellet machine
+
The following are solutions to problems that may be encountered during the use of the pellet mill for sale for your reference.
| Breakdown | Reasons | Solutions |
| The pellet machine does not produce pellets | 1. The new die plate is not ground with oil 2. The new die plate is not sufficiently ground 3. The water content of raw materials is too high | 1.

Maintenance of the animal feed pellet making machine
+
- Feeders
Feeders are made of stainless steel, we need to lubricate the end of the feeder bushings once a day and lubricate the feeder spiral bearing once a month, to increase the working life of the feeders.
- Conditioners
The raw materials are cooked in the conditioners, it is necessary to inspect and clean conditioners regularly. The clean-out panel is located on the side of the conditioner chamber.
- Lubrication
Our animal feed pellet mills adopt gear rotation. We need to grease the bearing at each end of the mixer monthly.
- Feed chute
To make the feed chute work effectively, the chute must be kept clean and free of indentations.
- Main shaft and drive assembly
Most models are made to run with all drives immersed in lubricant, requiring oil only twice a year.
