In the cattle feed manufacturing process, nutritional supplement refer to the content that constitutes less than 1% of the feed. These nutritional addictives need to be separated when weighing trace elements that compared to the raw fodder materials added in a lesser quantity. Some of the trace elements include drugs, vitamins, attractants, amino acids and anti-mould preservatives. What do you know about nutrition additives when runing a cattle feed manufacturing plant?
Nutitional Supplement in Cattle Feed Production
The characteristics of the nutritional supplement in both large and small cattle feed plant tend to vary in a number of ways including in price, physiological efficiency, biological activity, and dosage among others. What is important is to note is that these differences in characteristics immensely influences both the health of the feed production personnel and cattle animals growth. Additionally, a little bit of nutritional addictives would complete the whole recipe and that is crucial in the process of feed processing. (Learn more about how to make cattle feed pellet?)

Having learnt that the nutritional supplement can have an impact on the overall health of the cattle and the production personnel, here are few precautions to be observed. Click here to see the details of our small cattle feed mill equipment for home use >>
Small Cattle Feed Manufacturing Plant Layout Design
- To avoid chemical reactions, vitamins should not be combined with pharmaceuticals and minerals.
- There should not be mixing of Choline chloride with pharmaceuticals or vitamins
- The small bag always contains a higher amount of raw materials. That is for the reason that there is always partial uncleanliness, only 5 grams allowed. In the end the cattle feed is denser making it easy to pour out.
- The final cattle feed ingredients should constitute a large number of materials that are not easily susceptible to humidity and thus spoil easily. The materials include minerals, vitamins and pharmaceuticals.
- Consider a number of problems including the present order and easy operation.
- The amount of each batch ideally should be less than 100g of raw materials, as the reserved small material of the formula is for 2 decimal places.10 grams is the minimum electronic scale reading.
- To be able to increase weighing accuracy and also to reduce cross contamination can be achieved by way of making a specific component for a batching scale.

The Adding Sequence of Cattle Feed Nutritional Supplement
There are 2 kinds of materials which must be separated and made up and then lastly combined. The order must be observed as illustrated below, that is “a” into “b” and not vice versa.
- SaIt, vitamins, sweeteners, acids, sulfadiazine, mycobacterium sulfuric acid, preservatives, whey, white sugar and so on.
- Mineral, aureomycin, copper, Zinc Oxide, lysine, fat powder, wheat bran and so on.
In cattle feed manufacturing process, environmental associated problems are unavoidable in the workshop in the process of adding, most commonly produces dust. That is because the nutritional additives generally have fine grain size and also low water content. (You maybe also interestedin our mini poultry feed mill for sale)
Because of the dust produced and the caused environmental problems, it is thus important that cattle feed manufacturing plant must be well equipped with appropriate air cleaning network and necessary effective measures. Additionally, the equipment that comes into contact with the feed nutritional supplement must be made of stainless steel to reduce the effects of their corrosive nature. Sealing should also be implemented at the same time.
