Raw Materials and Pellet Design of Different Animal Feeds

Our animal feed pellet machine is designed for precise pellet size adjustments, ensuring optimal nutrition for different animals. It boosts efficiency and improves farm profitability. Whether you’re feeding poultry, ruminants, aquatic animals, or pets, our machine creates high-quality feed tailored to their needs, helping you get better results with less effort.

Animal Type	Raw Material	Granular Demand
Poultry(Chickens, Ducks, Geese)	Corn, soybean meal wheat bran, fish meal/bone meal, mineral premix	Particle diameter 2-3mm, moderate hardness. Too large particles will affect the efficiency of feeding, and too hard it can easily cause crop damage.
Ruminants (Cattle, Sheep)	Silage corn, alfalfa meal, soybean meal, bran, salt and minerals	Granule diameter 6-8mm, high hardness, chewing resistance, promote ruminant digestion, reduce the risk of bloating.
Aquatic Products (Fish, Shrimp)	Fish meal, soybean meal, wheat flour, algae meal, vitamin premix	Particle diameter 1-2mm, low hardness and water immersion resistance. The sunken particles are suitable for bottom fish, and the floating particles are suitable for shrimp.
Pets (Cats, Dogs, Rodents)	Chicken/beef freeze-dried, brown rice sweet potato powder, fruit and vegetable fiber, probiotics	Particle diameter 3-5mm (cat food is small), smooth surface does not hurt teeth, hardness to adapt to pet chewing habits.

How to Pick the Ideal Animal Feed Pellet Machine

The flat die feed pellet machine is ideal for small to medium farms, processing soft materials like corn for pigs, poultry, and small animals at low cost. The ring die pellet machine suits large-scale farms, efficiently processing hard materials like soybeans, producing high-quality pellets for large animals, and helping reduce costs while boosting productivity.

Application	Flat Die Animal Feed Pelletizer	Ring Die Animal Feed Pelletizer
Range of Application	Suitable for small to medium-sized production, especially small feed mills	Suitable for large-scale production, especially medium to large feed mills
Yield and Efficiency	Suitable for medium and small production, low efficiency	Suitable for large-scale production, high efficiency
Equipment Costs and Maintenance	Low equipment cost and simple maintenance	Equipment costs more, but is durable and requires regular maintenance
Particle Mass	Granules are loose with uneven shape, suitable for some small-scale feeds	Compact and uniform particles for demanding product quality standards
Service Life	Shorter / requires frequent mold changes	Longer / service life of the mold
Longer / service life of the mold	Applicable Raw Materials	Suitable for softer raw materials, such as corn, rice, etc.
Energy Efficiency and Conservation	Relatively low, high-energy consumption	High energy efficiency, good energy saving performance
Applicable Animal	Suitable for pigs, poultry (such as chickens, ducks), rabbits and other small or medium-sized animals	Suitable for cattle, sheep, fish, pigs and other large and medium-sized animals, palatability is strong
Mobile Transport	Small size, relatively flexible, easy to move and transport	Large size, fixed position, inconvenient transportation
Power Demand	Usually use a smaller power electric motor or diesel engine, power requirements are small	High power consumption usually requires a strong motor
