Chicken Feed Types
Chicken Feed Types for Poultry Farming Business
Chicken feed can be distinguished into three main types by the shape: mash, crumble and pellets:
- Chicken Feed Mash: It is a mixture of ground grain, bran, fish meal, mineral powder and various additives. It has good nutrition and chickens are not easy to pick up. However, it is less palatable and easily dispersed, resulting in waste. It is more suitable for baby chicks or young chicks (1~6 weeks).
- Chicken Feed Pellets: It is made by animal feed pellet machine to make crushed power into pellets of a diameter of 2.5~5.0mm. It features complete nutrition, strong palatability and easy storage, management and transporation. Chickens can’t pick up. It also can help prevent waste and save labors. It is suitable for high yield hens.
- Chicken Feed Crumbles: It has the advantages of pellets and is suitable for egg-laying hens and chicks of various ages because it is slightly slower to feed and is not over-fattening, but its processing costs are higher.

Nowdays, the most popular and cheap chicken feed making machine is flat die pellet mill machine. It has simple structure, wide adaptability, small footprint and low noise. Powdered feed and grass meal can be granulated without liquid addition. so, the moisture content of pelleted feed is basically the moisture content of the material before pelleting, which is better for storage of final produced chicken feed pellets.

Chicken Feed Making Machine - Flat Die Pellet Mill
The chicken feed pellets produced by feed milling machine have high hardness, smooth surface, and the degree of internal maturation is relatively sufficient, which can improve the digestion and absorption of nutrients, and can kill general pathogenic microorganisms and parasites. In addition to chickens and poultry, it is also suitable for feeding rabbits, fish, ducks, pigeons and laboratory animals. It can obtain higher economic benefits than mixed powder feed.

Working Principles of Chicken Feed Making Machine
The position of the pressure roller of chicken feed pellet mill machine is fixed, and the pressure roller rotates with the roller shaft; the flat die rotates with the shaft sleeve. Under the action of friction, the pressure roller rotates. Under the strong squeezing action of the flat die and the pressing roller, the material is gradually compacted and squeezed into the die hole of the flat die, and in the die hole, it is continuously subjected to the pressure of the material to be extruded, and then it goes out of the die hole and is extruded. The molding material extruded from the die hole is cut into granules of a certain length by a cutter, and thrown out from the discharge tray. Changing the flat die with different apertures can press molding materials with different diameters. (Read more: Poultry Feed Manufacturing Process >>)
For different materials, the extrusion force can be adjusted by adjusting the gap between the pressing roller and the flat die. The flat die pellet does not need to be equipped with a heating device, The heat energy generated by the extrusion friction during the working process increases the temperature of the material and softens it, thereby forming a molding material that meets the requirements. The die hole compression ratio of the pellets produced by The Flat Die Pellet Machine is an index reflecting the extrusion strength of the pellets. The higher the compression ratio, the stronger the extruded pellets.
