How are Dairy Cow Feed Pellets Processed?
The pellet feed for dairy cows is scientifically formulated according to the concentration of nutrients required at each stage of its growth. A variety of feed materials, including coarse feed, concentrated feed, and feed additives, are crushed with a grinder, mixed with a mixer, and then processed into pellets using a pellet machine. Common raw materials for dairy cow feed pellets include high-quality alfalfa grass, full-fat expanded soybeans, whole cotton seeds, corn, bran, soybean meal, wheat, and more.
