Importance of feed mixer machine
Sep 30, 2020
When feeding chickens, the farmers will make their own high-nutrient feeds to feed the chickens. The nutrients contained in the homemade feeds must be balanced and the same. The feeds must be evenly mixed during the preparation process, otherwise the chickens will be poisoned or poisoned. Other diseases occur. There are two methods of feed mixing, mechanical mixing and manual mixing. As long as they are used properly, satisfactory results can be obtained.
There are two types of mixers commonly used in mechanical mixing: vertical and horizontal. The vertical mixer is suitable for mixing powdered feed with a water content of less than 14%. If the water content is too much, it is difficult to mix evenly. This kind of mixer requires low power, low price and convenient maintenance, but the mixing time is long (generally 10-20 minutes per batch), suitable for professional chicken farmers and small chicken farms. The horizontal mixer can mix the feed evenly in humid climate areas or when strong viscous ingredients (such as grease) are added to the feed. This machine has strong mixing capacity and short mixing time, each batch is 3 to 4 minutes, and is mainly used in some feed processing plants.
This method of manual mixing is the main method of feed mixing when raising chickens at home. When mixing, you must be careful and patient to prevent some trace components from being piled up, agglomerated, and mixed unevenly, which will affect the feeding effect. When mixing by hand, special attention should be paid to some trace components, such as salt and various additives, which occupy a small proportion in the diet but will seriously affect the feeding effect. If the mixing is uneven, the mild ones will affect the feeding effect, and the severe ones will cause disease, poisoning and even death of the chickens. For these kinds of trace components, they must be fully crushed when mixing, and there should be no agglomeration. The lumps cannot be mixed evenly, and they may be poisoned after being eaten by chickens.
