Scientists are developing a technology for compound feed to reduce costs in the industry

The new technology will reduce feed costs through alternative protein components

Modern livestock farming largely depends on the availability of complete, affordable, and biologically valuable feed. At the same time, rising costs of traditional components, especially protein-based ones, lead to increased production costs and reduced competitiveness.

To address this issue, domestic scientists are developing a compound feed production technology that will reduce costs by replacing expensive protein ingredients. The project is being carried out by specialists from the Kazakh Research Institute of Food and Processing Industry.

As part of the project, it is proposed to use natural multi-protein raw materials of animal origin, including by-products of the meat processing industry such as meat and bone meal, blood meal, bone meal, and hydrolysates. These components are sources of complete protein, essential amino acids, and minerals.

The technology being developed takes into account the processing characteristics of raw materials with different physicochemical properties and is aimed at optimizing grinding, dosing, and mixing processes. This ensures uniformity and safety of compound feed.

Additionally, probiotic additives are included in the feed formulation, helping to stabilize microflora, improve nutrient digestibility, enhance metabolic processes, and reduce the risk of gastrointestinal diseases in cattle.

The use of multi-protein raw materials in combination with probiotics is aimed at increasing animal productivity, improving feed conversion, and reducing nutrient losses.

The implementation of the project will reduce the cost of compound feed, improve the efficient use of secondary resources, and reduce the environmental burden on processing enterprises.

The goal of the project is to develop a technology for producing highly nutritious, easily digestible compound feed with probiotic effects for farm animals.
