The right dosages for animal feed: the importance

In order to make animal feed, different ingredients are needed. However, animal feed is more than just a mix of the various raw materials. You have to make sure that every composition is correct, since the animal depends on the right balance of nutrients. It is not intended that the dosages deviate. This can have consequences for the quality of the feed, the health of the animals and of course the efficiency of the production process. Below you can read exactly how you can measure the right dosages for animal feed and why it is so important that attention is paid to this.

Why dosage is so important in animal feed

Dosage is very important in animal feed. Every ingredient that is processed into the feed serves a purpose. For example, certain raw materials are added for the animal’s energy, growth, resistance or general health. If something goes wrong with the dosages during production, the balance of the feed can be disrupted. This is not beneficial for the feed, but also not for the animal itself. That is why it is important that especially the minerals, vitamins and additives receive the correct dosage. In this way, you can produce safe food within your organization.

Constant quality starts with accurate weighing

In order to ensure that you constantly deliver quality food for livestock farms, it is therefore important that you weigh accurately. Weighing and dosing are closely related and therefore you can easily connect them with each other. Producers need to know how much of each ingredient must be added. This ensures that every batch that is made has the same quality and meets the set requirements. By means of Alfra equipment, you can accurately weigh and dose the right raw materials.
