What problems exist in the production process of creep feed?
Let's discuss the problems in the production process of creep feed.
Is it necessary to adopt a two-stage pelleting process for suckling piglet creep feed (the first stage involves high-temperature cooking of ingredients such as corn and soybean meal, and the second stage involves low-temperature pelleting to protect ingredients such as vitamins)? Under what circumstances is it necessary to adopt this? How great is the impact of single-stage pelleting versus two-stage pelleting on feeding results?
Please share your opinions, teachers!
--------------------------------------
I would also like to understand this. Please advise, experts.
--------------------------------------
Our company adopts a two-stage pelleting process for suckling piglet creep feed, mainly because suckling piglets have underdeveloped gastrointestinal function, and this can reduce diarrhea.
--------------------------------------
Two-stage pelleting should have a big impact on nutrition, right?
--------------------------------------
With two-stage pelleting, the feed conversion ratio will increase somewhat, mainly due to nutrient loss.
But there is also a benefit, which is reducing the diarrhea rate. It depends on how you weigh the trade-offs.
--------------------------------------
If corn and soybean meal alone are used as the ingredients for the first pelleting stage, nutrient loss will not be great. After two-stage pelleting, the content of anti-nutritional factors in soybean meal can be effectively reduced, and the degree of starch gelatinization can be increased.
--------------------------------------
If extruded soybean meal, corn, and the like are also used, and two-stage pelleting is still required, then the cost will be high.
--------------------------------------
How much will the cost increase with two-stage pelleting? 7# poemrain
--------------------------------------
With simple two-stage pelleting, the cost is about 120 yuan. If extruded corn and soybean meal are used, it is suggested that two-stage pelleting is also acceptable without being necessary. The key is whether extrusion is done properly; otherwise, piglet diarrhea will be severe.

Thank you all for your valuable opinions. I am also preparing to make creep feed for suckling piglets.
I plan to fine-grind corn and soybean meal in a single pass. Because the usage amount is relatively small, I do not plan to carry out a second operation.
The rest are milk powder, extruded corn, extruded soybean meal, and so on, which account for the vast majority. It is just that our equipment has not yet been modified properly.
--------------------------------------
I do not really understand!
Our company is researching and developing creep feed!
--------------------------------------
At least the corn must be extruded.
