Raw materials & machinery

Manufacturing process

  1. Receive and inspect incoming raw materials such as grains, oil cakes, and bran, storing them in dry and pest-free conditions.
  2. Grind individual raw materials using hammer mills to the required particle size.
  3. Blend and measure out required quantities of raw materials according to the specific formulation.
  4. Feed the blended mass into the mixing section to homogeneously mix it with minerals, vitamins, and other ingredients including molasses.
  5. Pass the mixed mass through a pelletizing machine to form cattle feed pellets.
  6. Test the final pellets in a laboratory to confirm analytical values and pack them into bags for distribution.

Market

India is one of the largest compound feed markets globally, growing at a CAGR of 8 percent. Demand is driven by expanding dairy, poultry, and aquaculture sectors, with compound cattle feed requirements showing substantial potential for growth as the industry becomes more organized.
