how to make horse feed pellets
some necessary equipment you need to make horse feed pelles are feed pellet mill, which is the core equipment, feed grinder machine, feed mixer machine, cooler machine and packing machine. below is the general 5 steps of how to make horse feed pellets:
Crushing Process:
The first step in how to make horse feed pellets is to crush the ingredients. This step is designed to grind the material into fine particles for mixing. This step occurs in a coarse grinder. There is a hammer mill grinder mill machine that is responsible for breaking down the raw material into finer particles. Once all the materials have been grinded into finer particles, you can move them to the next step of making horse feed pellets.
Mixing Process:
the second step of how to make horse feed pellets is to use a horse feed mixer you can mix all kinds of horse feed ingredients thoroughly to ensure that each bite of the finished horse feed pellets is nutritionally balanced. If you do not want to make pellet horse feed, you can use the mixer to mix your own feed after crushing the ingredients to make horse feed mash.
Pelletizing Process:
The feed pellet mill is the main equipment of how to make horse feed pellets. The ring type horse feed production line has greater capacity compared with the flat die feed pellet mill.
Cooling Process:
the forth step of how to make horse feed pellets is cooling and screening processes, Pellets from the granulator can be discharged at up to 88°C and 17-18% moisture. The temperature of the pellets must be reduced quickly to achieve a moisture content of 10-12% or less for proper storage and handling. Therefore the pellets must be cooled and dried. Our pellet coolers use the counter-current cooling principle to cool the pellets sufficiently and uniformly. The temperature of the cooled pellets is not higher than room temperature + 3-5 degrees.
Packing Process:
After cooling, the pellets will be bagged or stored according to your needs and requirements. which is the last step of how to make horse feed pellets. The packaging process is efficiently handled by our semi-automatic packaging machine. The finished feed is weighed by a computer and then pneumatically unloaded into the bags. The weighed bag will move down the conveyor belt and the machine can be used to sew the top of the bag where the dry feed can be stored.
what are the main ingredients in horse feed?
The raw materials for making horse feed pellets include animal protein and vegetable protein. Plant protein comes from corn, rice, wheat, soybean, peanut flour, etc.; animal protein comes from fish meal, shrimp meal, crab meal, sleeve fish meal, etc.
Complex carbohydrates, such as alfalfa, grains like corn, soybean, wheat, hay, straw, grass and beet pulp, Simple starches, such as barley, corn, and oats, Fats, including vegetables, corn, and fish oil, Proteins, such as dry whey or flaxseed and canola meal, Minerals and vitamins, including calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium and chloride, Digestive aids, such as yeast cultures and Lactobacillus acidophilus.

according to wikipedia, horses and humans interact in a variety of sporting events and non-competitive recreational activities as well as in work activities such as police work, agriculture, recreation and therapy. Horses have historically been used in warfare, which has led to the development of a wide variety of riding and driving techniques, using many different styles of equipment and control methods. Many products come from horses, including meat, milk, hides, wool, bone and medicines derived from the urine of pregnant mares.
Humans provide food, water and shelter for the domesticated horses, as well as the attention of specialists such as veterinarians and horsemen.In ancient times, horses were the main driving force for agricultural production, transportation and military activities.

This has prompted horse owners to purchase horse feeds with nutritionally balanced, high quality that will satisfy the horse in terms of what it eats. There is no doubt that pellet feed is the best choice considering the appearance, texture, flavor and palatability of the horse feed.
