Step-by-step process for catfish feed production

Catfish is a freshwater fish with high economic value, and its feeding method directly affects its growth rate and farming efficiency. High quality fish food pellet feed is not only nutritionally balanced, but also improves the feed conversion rate of catfish.

By using Taizy fish food pellet mill, you can easily produce high quality catfish feed to meet the nutritional requirements of catfish and improve the breeding efficiency. The following will introduce the specific steps for you in detail.

Determine the catfish feed formula

Catfish is a fish with high protein demand, so the feed formulation should pay special attention to the protein content. Generally speaking, feed formulation includes the following ingredients:

• Animal protein sources: fish meal, meat and bone meal, etc., providing essential amino acids.
• Vegetable protein sources: soybean meal, rapeseed cake, etc., to supplement plant protein.
• Energy ingredients: corn meal, wheat flour, etc., to provide energy for catfish.
• Trace elements and vitamins: to increase the catfish’s disease resistance and growth rate.

According to the needs of catfish at different growth stages (e.g. juvenile, adult), adjust the formula ratio to ensure balanced feed nutrition.

Choose a machine to make fish feed pellets

In the production process of catfish feed, it is crucial to choose efficient and stable equipment.

Taizy’s fish feed pellet making machine supports the production of various pellet sizes. The pellet diameter can be adjusted according to the needs of catfish at different stages, so as to better adapt to the eating habits of fish.

In addition, the equipment has the function of floating pellet processing. The pellet feed produced can float on the water surface for a long time, which is convenient for catfish to feed on and reduce waste.

Clear production process

The complete process of catfish feed production with our floating fish feed pellet machine is as follows:

• Raw material crushing: the raw material is processed into powder through the grinder to ensure the uniformity of the pellet feed.
• Raw material mixing: the crushed raw materials are fully mixed according to the formula ratio to ensure the uniform nutrition of each pellet.
• Pellet molding: put the mixed raw materials into the fish feed pellet machine and start the equipment for pellet molding. Taizy equipment supports pellet density and size adjustment to meet diversified needs.
• Drying treatment: dry the pellet feed through the dryer to prolong the preservation time.
• Seasoning enhancement: according to the needs, the feed surface can be added with enticing agents and other seasoning ingredients to enhance the palatability.
• Packaging and storage: the produced feed is packaged and stored in a dry and ventilated place to prevent deterioration.

Cost advantages of catfish feed production

Compared with directly purchasing finished feed, catfish feed production with Taizy fish feed extruder machine has obvious cost advantages.

By choosing raw materials independently and adjusting the formula according to the breeding demand, it can reduce the cost and ensure the quality of feed. At the same time, Taizy equipment can effectively save energy and reduce consumption, helping farmers to improve production efficiency.

After-sales service

Taize fish feed mill provides comprehensive after-sales service, including installation and commissioning, operation training and maintenance, etc., to ensure that the equipment always runs efficiently.

In addition, we also provide customers with mold replacement and technical upgrade support. This can help you continuously optimize the production process and adapt to the development needs of the aquaculture industry.

Conclusion

Producing high-quality catfish feed is not a difficult task, it only requires scientific formula and efficient equipment. If you want more, please contact us for more details!
