What are the types of sheep feed pellets?

Sheep pellet feed is a kind of formula feed, which is processed into a pellet feed by calculating the nutritional requirements of sheep. This kind of feed pellet is convenient for sheep to eat and can reduce the waste of feed.

It is one of the feeds that have developed rapidly in recent years and is used by many sheep farms. Sheep pellet feed needs to be processed with different formulations according to different developmental stages of sheep.

There are actually three types of pellet feed for sheep. One is concentrated feed pellet feed. The other is full-price pellet feed, which is pellet feed with concentrated feed and roughage. There is another kind of forage pellet feed.

What is the difference between these three sheep feed pellets? The first is a method that needs to be fed with green and roughage, and can also increase nutrition and supplement trace elements for shepherds. The second is a real complete feed, that is, all the nutrients the sheep need are added together and then pelleted. Farmed sheep can eat this kind of feed completely, and do not need to eat other feed. The third type is simple roughage and forage, which need to be fed with concentrated feed and trace element feed for sheep.

Methods to select suitable sheep feed pellet machine for farms

  1. According to the different output, choose the sheep feed pellet machine that suits you. Generally speaking, sheep feed pellet machine is divided into ring die feed pellet machine and flat die feed pellet machine. The common ring die feed pellet machine is matched with the grass powder pellet unit. Generally suitable for medium and large sheep farms. The feeding method adopts a forced feeding machine. The flat die feed pellet machine is more suitable for medium and small farms. The feeding method adopted by the flat die feed pellet machine is a straight up and down feeding method, but the output is relatively low.
  2. According to different feed formulas, choose the sheep feed pellet machine that suits you. Generally speaking, large-scale sheep farms will choose to mix some concentrated feed in sheep feed as a supplement. If there is too much concentrated feed in the formula and the degree of maturation required is large, you can choose to use a ring die feed pellet machine to determine the degree of maturation of the feed by increasing the number of modulators. If it is a small sheep farm, and the sheep feed pellets that need to be processed are roughage, and the pasture and other feeds need to be used together, the user can choose a flat die feed pellet machine.
