How to Make Chicken Feed Pellets of Your Own?

Chicken feed pellets are one of the most cost-efficient and preferred feed sources for poultry farmers. The global demand for nutritional feed is increasing, leading to more investments in the poultry feed pellet production industry. However, buying ready-made chicken feed pellets can be expensive. So, how can you save money on chicken feed without compromising nutrition? The answer is simple: make your own chicken feed pellets! This is not only possible but also practical, offering a great opportunity for poultry farmers to cut costs while ensuring quality feed.

How to Make Chicken Feed Pellets?

The feed pellet making machine is the core equipment for producing chicken feed pellets. There are two main types based on structure and design:

1. Flat Die Pellet Mill
2. Ring Die Pellet Mill

These machines differ in capacity, price, and working principles. Depending on your needs, you may also require auxiliary equipment such as a feed grinder to process raw materials like corn and peas. If you’re raising only a few chickens, a grinder may not be necessary.

Ideal Chicken Feed Formula

A balanced chicken feed formula ensures optimal growth and health for your poultry. The ideal composition includes:

• Lysine: 7% (min)
• Crude protein: 16.5% (min)
• Methionine: 2% (min)
• Crude fat: 3% (min)
• Crude fiber: 5% (max)
• Calcium: 3.5% (min)

You don’t need to measure these precisely—just ensure the ingredients are well-balanced.

4. Press into Pellets

   • Feed the mixture into a pellet mill to form pellets.

How to Improve Chicken Feed Pellet Quality?

Several factors affect pellet quality: ✔ Raw material binding properties (soybean, corn, fish meal work best) ✔ Machine condition (ensure rollers, dies, and blades are in good shape) ✔ Steam & temperature control (80°C–85°C for best results) ✔ Pellet size (fine grinding improves density)

Avoid artificial binders to keep costs low while maintaining quality.
