The process of grinding and processing feed ingredients into a form suitable for animal consumption is known as feed milling. Raw material handling, grinding, mixing, pelleting, and cooling are the five major stages of the feed milling process. Feed milling is an important step in the production of animal feed because it results in a uniform mixture that is easy for animals to digest.
There are a few things you should know if you want to start a feed mill. A feed mill is a factory that manufactures animal feed, most commonly from corn, wheat, and soybeans. It’s critical to have a solid understanding of the process and the tools needed to get started.
