1. Raw material procurement is the primary task in the production of feed additives. These raw materials may include vitamins, amino acids, minerals, etc., and their selection needs to be determined based on the type of feed and the needs of animals. The purchased raw materials need to undergo strict quality testing to ensure their safety and effectiveness.
2. Mixing raw materials is a crucial step in the production of feed additives. After receiving the raw materials, the manufacturer needs to uniformly mix them. During the mixing process, it is necessary to pay attention to the proportion and combination of various raw materials to ensure stable and uniform quality of the mixed product, in order to meet the needs of different users. The manufacturer will continuously adjust the formula of feed additives based on customer needs and market demands.
3. Fermentation and crushing are also important steps in the production process of some feed additives. For example, additives such as lactic acid bacteria and yeast require fermentation treatment to increase their biological activity and stability. After fermentation, it is necessary to perform crushing treatment to ensure that the additive particle size is uniform, which is convenient for subsequent mixing and use.
4. Granulation and drying are also necessary production steps. Granulation processing can make feed additives easier to store and carry, improving utilization efficiency. Drying treatment can remove moisture from additives, increase their shelf life, and prevent mold and spoilage.
In the final stage of production, packaging, inspection, and quality control cannot be ignored. Packaging can protect the quality of feed additives and prevent them from being affected by the external environment. Common packaging methods include bagging, barrel packaging, etc. And inspection and quality control are the key links to ensure that the quality of feed additives meets the requirements, including appearance inspection, chemical composition analysis, etc.
6. The production of animal feed additives also needs to comply with relevant laws, regulations, and quality standards. Feed and feed additive production enterprises shall organize production in accordance with product quality standards and feed and feed additive quality and safety management norms, implement effective control over the production process, and implement a production record and product sample observation system. In addition, safety, hygiene conditions, and environmental protection measures during the production process must also be fully considered and implemented.
Overall, the production of animal feed additives is a complex and meticulous process that requires ensuring the quality of raw materials, scientific formulation, standardized production, and product safety. Only in this way can high-quality, safe and reliable feed additives be produced, providing strong guarantees for the healthy development of animal husbandry.
