PII 057: Storing & Handling Livestock Feed Ingredients for Feed Formulation \u2013 Highlights from Tayo Solagbade\u2019s FREE PDF Annotated Pictorial Introduction to Feed Ingredients<\/h1>\n

This write-up is based on excerpts from my 30 page Annotated Pictorial Introduction to Feed Ingredients<\/a> \u2013 a FREE report which EVERY buyer of my popular 60 page Practical Livestock Feed Formulation Handbook gets.<\/p>\n

Since publishing my popular Feed Formulation Handbook in 2002, I have developed an automated MS-Excel Visual Basic driven Ration Formulation application<\/a> that works based on the Pearson Square computation method described in my handbook.<\/p>\n

In 2006, I launched a Cost-Saving Farm Business Ideas website<\/a> as a precursor to the Farm Research and Extensions Advisory Services support centre \u2013 which I now call Farm Business Support Centre (FBSC)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That website has rapidly grown popular, drawing enquiries from with and well outside the country (in the Middle East, Asia Europe and America). <\/strong><\/p>\n

In the course of relating with buyers of my products (including providing one-on-one practical coaching in feed formulation), and providing custom software development service for farm business owners, I realized the need to provide a report like this, which will be periodically updated, as a quick guide\/introduction to feed ingredients.<\/p>\n

This document does NOT provide an exhaustive listing of feed ingredients used for all livestock. <\/strong><\/h3>\n

What I have tried to do is focus on those main and more popular ones used frequently by most farmers and which are readily available in adequate quantities in the marketplace.<\/p>\n

Where appropriate I have mentioned the need to explore potential alternative ingredients to certain high demand ones like Maize\/Corn. But I did not provide any details about those alternatives.<\/p>\n

What I plan to do is to discuss potential alternative ingredients with a good chance of effectively replacing existing expensive or high demand ingredients, in a series of articles.<\/p>\n

The block of text below announces the first of such articles, published as a guest post <\/strong>on www.africabusinesscommunities.com.<\/p>\n

    Conditions under which the feed ingredients you use for your feed compounding are stored, should ALWAYS interest you. <\/strong><\/p>\n

    When you visit a feed mill try to ask questions and even look around the facility to get a feel for the handling meted out their feed ingredients, and the feed being compounded. I have seen mill operatives fill ingredients into bags half lying in the rain, without bothering to move them. If you happen to keep such bags of feed long before using them up, mould growth and possible mycotoxin hazards could endanger your livestock.<\/p>\n

    If the storage has leaking roofs or windows, spoilage could also set in without your knowledge. Going out of your way to examine the odour of vulnerable ingredients like maize, fish meal, ground nut cake, soya bean and others can help detect any problems.<\/p>\n

      \"annotated-shot2-panel\"<\/a><\/p>\n

      Power supply availability in the Feed Mill can determine how long it takes to get your feed compounding done.<\/p>\n

      This may not seem such a big issue at first, but there may come a time when you urgently need your feed compounded and delivered for your birds - possibly due to unexpected shortages or delayed supplies of ingredients.<\/p>\n

      At such times, choosing a feed mill that has reliable alternative power supply sources can make a world of difference to your ability to achieve your goals. Keep this in mind.<\/p>\n

        \"annotated-shot1-premix\"<\/a><\/p>\n

        It is a vitamin\/mineral source. It does not contribute any protein in the diet, and is <\/strong>\u00a0used in compounding customer feeds for growers and pigs (in line with specified ration formulas) in a local feed mill located along Oko-Oba road, Agege, Lagos.<\/p>\n

        It is used as a fixed factor component In Feed Formulation<\/p>\n

        Points to Note About Feed Compounding and Mixing<\/strong><\/h3>\n

        In the process of actually carrying out the feed compounding, most of the ingredients mentioned in the foregoing discourse - if in solid form - are usually ground using a Grinder and thoroughly mixed using a Mixer.<\/p>\n

        However, for ingredients like Oyster shell, bone meal, meat meal etc, they are milled using a Mechanical Miller before being mixed with the rest of the ingredients.<\/p>\n

        Livestock feeds can be prepared as mash, crumbs or as pellets. Pellets production is not very common for poultry, and requires the extra effort of adding fat under high temperature and pressure, so as to concentrate the nutrients\/constitute the mash into particles. - See page 54 of my Feed Formulation handbook<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
