Why Investors Choose to Set Up Cattle Feed Pellet Production Plants？

Pellet feed is healthier and more nutritious than traditional feed. Cattle feed pellets are a compound feed made from a variety of ingredients such as cereals, oil crops and legume seeds, grasses, dried beet pulp and additives such as vitamins, minerals, chemical preservatives and other essential trace ingredients through a cattle feed pellet mill. The formulation of the cattle feed pellets is based on the type of cattle. Cattle feed pellets are high in energy and rich in protein, vitamins and minerals. Therefore, with different composition and nutrient content, different cattle feed pellets are suitable for different types of cattle, such as bulls, cows, heifers and buffaloes. The pelleting of feed can be well digested and improves the quality of the cattle.
