Grinding up your ingredients before mixing them together.

[Md Abdul Bari]

Ensuring uniformity in feed mixing is critical for providing consistent nutrition to animals. Here are some key steps to achieve uniform feed mixing:

1. Use Quality Equipment

Mixer Selection: Choose a mixer type (e.g., horizontal, vertical, or paddle) that suits your feed ingredients and batch size.

Maintenance: Regularly inspect and maintain the mixer to prevent wear and tear that could lead to uneven mixing.

Capacity: Avoid overloading or underloading the mixer, as this can affect the mixing efficiency.

2. Follow a Proper Mixing Sequence

Step-by-Step Addition: Add ingredients in the correct order to ensure even distribution. For example:

1. Add large ingredients (e.g., grains or base materials).

2. Add smaller quantities of vitamins, minerals, and additives.

3. Add liquids last to prevent clumping.

Pre-mixing: For micro-ingredients like vitamins or medicated additives, create a premix with a carrier (e.g., ground grain) before adding it to the main batch.

3. Ensure Proper Mixing Time

Optimal Duration: Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for mixing time. Overmixing or undermixing can lead to separation or incomplete blending.

Testing: Conduct periodic tests to determine the ideal mixing time for your specific feed formulation.

[Md. Osman Sheikh]

Mixing uniformity increases with mixing time. Appropriate mixing time depends on mixer type and ingredient selection.

Grind ingredients

Before mixing, grind ingredients up so you can inspect them.

Use the right mixer

Choose a mixer that can refine the size of the particles

Add ingredients in order

Start with the largest ingredients, then add the smaller ones. Finally, add liquids after all dry ingredients are mixed.
