Analysis of project raw materials: elephant grass and auxiliary raw materials

The biggest highlight of this ruminant cattle feed plant in Hong Kong project is the selection of the main raw material-elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum), which is a tropical high-quality forage grass with rich cellulose content, high crude protein and mineral content. It is especially suitable for the digestive system of ruminants and can effectively promote rumen fermentation and improve feed conversion rate.

The wide application of elephant grass not only meets the needs of green breeding, but also fits the breeding concept of Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area to pursue ecological and environmental protection.

In addition, the ruminant cattle feed mill in Hong Kong project also selects a variety of auxiliary raw materials to optimize the nutritional ratio of feed, including:

Corn flour: provides rich energy and promotes growth rate;

Soybean meal: as a high-quality protein source, supplements amino acids;

Wheat bran and grain by-products: enhance the fiber content of feed, which is beneficial to rumen health;

Vitamin mineral premix: ensure animal health and immunity;

Fat additives: improve feed energy density and palatability.

Customers can fully combine the import and export trade convenience of Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta region to stably purchase high-quality elephant grass and other raw materials to ensure the scientificity and continuous supply of feed formula.

For high-fiber raw materials such as elephant grass, this ruminant cattle feed plant in Hong Kong adopts a specially optimized process flow, taking into account the technical requirements of material pretreatment, nutritional balance and pellet forming.

First, roughage such as elephant grass is crushed into suitable particle size by preliminary crushing equipment to ensure uniform mixing and improve subsequent pelleting efficiency. In view of the high crude fiber content of elephant grass, the crushing equipment needs to have strong power and high wear resistance to ensure long-term stable operation.

Subsequently, all raw materials enter the intelligent metering and mixing system according to the precise formula, and are fully mixed by a double-shaft mixer, and the mixing uniformity reaches the industry's advanced standard (CV≤5%). This link can realize liquid addition, such as oil and vitamins, to further improve the nutrition and palatability of the feed.

Next, the conditioning stage is entered, and the mixture is heated and softened by using an efficient steam conditioner to improve the pellet forming performance, increase the pellet density and solubility, which is particularly suitable for the digestion needs of ruminants for crude fiber.

The pelleting process uses an advanced ring die cattle feed pellet making machine. The feed pellet machine has the function of multi-speed adjustable particle size, and can produce feeds with various particle sizes of 3-8 mm according to different animal stages and needs. The pellets are uniform in shape, moderate in hardness, easy to digest in the rumen, and meet the requirements of transportation and storage.

The cooling stage uses an efficient countercurrent cooler to quickly reduce the pellet temperature, prevent water vapor from affecting the hardness and quality of the pellets, and ensure that the product is stored for a long time without deterioration.

Finally, the vibrating screen is used to remove fine powder and impurities to improve the overall quality of the feed, and then enter the automatic packaging stage, which supports multi-specification bag packaging for easy sales and use.

The process of ruminant cattle feed plant in Hong Kong fully considers the physical and nutritional characteristics of elephant grass, ensuring that the feed is not only nutritious, but also has good palatability and processing stability.

In addition to the elephant grass pellet feed designed for ruminants, the ruminant cattle feed plant in Hong Kong also has extremely strong multi-functional processing capabilities. Through formula and equipment parameter adjustment, customers can easily produce the following feed types:

Pellet feed for dairy cows and beef cattle to meet different growth stages and production needs;

Special feed for other ruminants such as sheep and deer;

High-protein concentrate pellets, such as nutritional formulas designed specifically for high-yielding dairy cows;

Special functional feed, such as green feed with added Chinese herbal ingredients;

Other livestock and poultry feed to expand market diversification needs.

This flexibility greatly improves the utilization rate and market responsiveness of customers' production lines, providing a solid foundation for future product upgrades and diversified operations.
