The ability to produce different particle sizes in animal feeds is currently of great interest to feed manufacturers all over the world. While a growing number of stock farmers demand specific animal feed consistency and structure for their businesses, more and more animal feed manufacturers have come to appreciate the advantages of being able to produce animal feeds to different particle sizes on their production lines. Dinnissen Process Technology (based in Sevenum, the Netherlands) has developed a new and extremely innovative solution that allows feed producers and their customers to react efficiently and quickly to the increasing demand for this type of product.

Correct feed particle sizing leads to optimum digestibility
Sharply increased demand for animal feeds with different, coarser particle sizes is a recent market trend. This development has been fuelled by efforts to improve the digestibility of animal feeds. Animals require different food particle sizes at different phases in their lifecycle in order to absorb nutrients with maximum efficiency. Stock farmers can boost profits by applying this principle effectively. This has led to increased demand for feed with specific particle sizes and encouraged animal feed producers to look for ways of satisfying this new requirement. As a result, the ability to produce feed quickly and efficiently to the right particle size in existing production lines has become an item of major interest.
