Why are more and more farmers made their own feed
It opens new and sustainable pathways for several hundred million small-scale livestock farmers with more
and more increasing demand for livestock foods in developing countries.
Most people have two really good reasons why they would like to make their own livestock feed:
The first reason is that most of people who want to be selfsufficient should do as much as they can on produc
ing their own feed pellets for their animals they raise: when you buy feed from outside shops, you are not able
to be truly self-sufficient. You are relying on outside sources that may not always be available, and you are at the
mercy of the prices they charge for sustaining your lifestyle.
It’s much pretty cheaper than purchasing commercial feeds from a shop, what is more, the quality and ingredie
nts can be controlled by themselves.
Good news is that it is not really so hard to produce your own feeds. producing your own feed does take space.
Since some homesteaders do keep cattle and often keep horses as well, we’ll start with producing feed pellet for
the largest of the common homestead livestock animals.
Then how to produce your own feed?
1. Use a pellet machine to turn the raw materials into pellets. Feeds that are in form of pellets can be easily handl
ed and are not too dusty.
2.Be sure that vitamins, bran, maize and grains meet your animals need and balance.
3.Grind the ingredients such as corn and bran, using a grinding machine.
4.Mix the resulting powder mixture with liquid ingredients such as oils, molasses and fats, using a concrete mixer
or manually.
5.Purchase the manufacturing equipment–a pellet mill.
6.Find out what ingredient and nutrition is best for your animals growing.
7.Hire workers to help you in the manufacturing process. Actually if you dont need to produce much quantity,you
can work on it by yourself.
8.Select a suitable site where you plan to manufacture the feeds. Choose a place where there will be no problems
on transporting raw materials. Ensure too that there is a good supply of water and power.
