Practical Guide to Chicken Feed Making Machine in the Philippines

At a time when large-scale poultry farming is developing rapidly, chicken feed making machine have become the core equipment for improving production efficiency. This article systematically analyzes the pellet feed production technology from the perspectives of mechanical principles, nutritional value and practical operation technology, and combines empirical data from the Philippine market to provide professional guidance for breeding practitioners on equipment selection and optimized production.

What is a chicken feed making machine?

Chicken feed making machine are mechanical equipment that specializes in processing raw materials into granular feed. Through processes such as crushing, mixing, conditioning, and extrusion molding, raw materials such as corn, soybean meal, and bran are converted into uniform particles. This type of equipment can be divided into two types: flat die and ring die. The power ranges from 5kW for small household use to 55kW for industrial use, and the production capacity covers breeding needs from 100kg to 5 tons per hour. Its core value lies in improving feed utilization and reducing the risk of errors in manual mixing.

Three major advantages of chicken feed pellet

Balanced nutrition

Mold is killed by high-temperature extrusion, and the particle structure locks in vitamin loss, which increases the nutrient retention rate by 15% compared with powdered feed

Reduce waste

The pellets have moderate hardness, and the amount of scattering when chickens feed is 30% less than that of powder, which is especially suitable for the rainy and humid environment in the Philippines

Convenient storage

The density is 20% higher than that of powder, and the same weight can save 15% of storage space, and the shelf life is extended by 2-3 months

Four-step method for high-quality feed production

Raw material pretreatment

The crushing particle size is controlled at 1-2mm, and the moisture content is 12%-14% (can be hand-crushed) Moisture retention meter test)

Scientific ratio

Refer to NRC standards, the typical formula contains 55% corn, 22% soybean meal, 5% fish meal, and 3% premix

Key parameter control

The tempering temperature is maintained at 80-90℃, and the die hole diameter is recommended to be 3mm (chicken) or 4mm (adult chicken)

Cooling and packaging

After discharging, the material needs to be cooled to room temperature using a countercurrent cooling tower. This prevents condensation and mildew.

Current situation of the Philippine market

According to the data of the 2024 Manila Agricultural Machinery Exhibition, the annual sales volume of chicken feed making machine in the local area increased by 17%, and the main demand was concentrated in small and medium-sized equipment (10-20kW). Chinese brands occupy 65% ​​of the market share due to their cost-effectiveness. Among them, the dual-motor configuration model is the most popular. It is also the most suitable for dealing with frequent power outages in the Philippines. Customers generally pay attention to the response speed of after-sales service. It is recommended that suppliers set up at least 3 spare parts warehouses locally.

When you choose a chicken feed making machine, you should prioritize the die roller material. Alloy steel die rollers last more than 800 hours, which is more important than simply comparing prices. The Philippine Department of Agriculture provides a 15% subsidy policy for imported equipment. When purchasing, you can request SGS certification documents for application.
