Mixing is an essential unit operation within the process of feed manufacturing. It turns individual ingredients into nutritionally balanced and homogeneous blends of feed for all varieties of animals and livestock. The mixer enables further agglomeration steps, such as pelleting or extrusion, if desired and, ultimately, it ensures healthy and efficient animal growth.
Mixing molasses with other vital ingredients for ruminant feed is often essential, but always challenging. Molasses is an excellent low-cost energy source for ruminants, especially during times of drought conditions and roughage shortages.
According to the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), beef production in
Australia may have fallen by almost five percent in 2019 due to a large-scale
drought-induced slaughter. Millions of wild and domesticated animals have been
lost in the Australian bushfires since it began in October 2019. During one
single event, dry lightning reportedly caused numerous fires between the
Victoria and New South Wales border on December 30th, 2019. This devastating
incident forced ranchers to euthanise an estimated 12,000 head of cattle and
6,000 head of sheep. Elsewhere in 2019, hot and dry weather conditions also
caused forage shortages in both Europe and Africa.
Climate change-related uncertainties have pushed many ranchers in various parts of the world to shift from grass-fed to grain-fed production. Additionally, the growing demand for high-value nutritious protein is also driving the global beef production system to make other feeding regimen adjustments.
