Application of pet feed mill

Typically, the production of animal feed processing plant uses raw materials such as corn, soybeans, wheat, and other nutrients as the formula. Our small feed mill plant are specially used to produce feed for poultry, livestock, pigs, horses, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, goose and other animals.For different animals, with different growth cycles, (chicks, suckling pigs, calves, etc.), the feed pellet size required is different, but our feed production line only needs to replace ring molds with different apertures or use a pellet crumbler to reach the required size.
