Step4 Cooling Process:
Place the newly produced hot pig feed pellets into a cooling machine for cooling to prevent the pellets from absorbing moisture and deforming, and to reduce oxidation and deterioration during subsequent storage.
-
Step5 Screening and packaging:
The cooled pellet feed is screened through a screening machine to remove unqualified pellets, and then the qualified pellets are packaged for storage and transportation.
Note: For growing pigs, the size of feed pellets is usually determined according to their weight and growth stage. Taking growing pigs as an example, growing pigs weighing between 20-50kg are suitable to consume pellet feed with a diameter of 3-4mm; while growing pigs weighing between 50-100kg are suitable to consume pellet feed with a diameter of 4-6mm. Of course, this is only the general situation, the specific feed pellet size should also be determined according to different regions, different breeds of pigs and the growing environment and other factors.
