This equipment transforms alfalfa hay into compact, easily transportable, and shelf-stable feed pellets. The process involves grinding the hay, conditioning it with steam or water, and then forcing the material through a die to create uniform pellets. These cylindrical pellets offer a consistent nutritional profile, minimize waste, and are convenient for storage and automated feeding systems.
Pelletization offers significant advantages in animal husbandry. It improves digestibility and nutrient absorption, leading to better weight gain and milk production in livestock. The compact form reduces storage space requirements and transportation costs. Furthermore, the process eliminates dust and mold growth, enhancing feed hygiene and minimizing respiratory problems in animals. The technology has evolved significantly over time, from simple flat die presses to modern ring die pellet mills capable of high-throughput production.
