FRAGILITY OF GRANULED COMBINED FEEDS

Abstract

The compound feed industry produces compound feed by combining different ingredients (types of raw materials) in different combinations and proportions. This determines the name "combi feed". Compound feeds are composed in such a way that the disadvantages of some ingredients (low protein content, lack of vitamins, etc.) are compensated by the advantages of other ingredients. The main purpose of compound feed is to produce compound feed that meets the nutritional needs of livestock, domestic animals and poultry and ensures their growth, development and safety. The role of compound feed has increased with the development of industrial agriculture. The demand for compound feed on industrial livestock and poultry farms has increased significantly. Compound feed becomes a connecting link between nature and animals. Animals are kept in cages or stables and are deprived of contact with wild nature, so they receive all the nutrients necessary for growth and development with food. There are different types of compound feed, including loose, granulated and briquetted, characterized by such quality indicators as fragility.
