Now almost all pig farms are pellet feed. Pellet feed began in the 1980s, when China was not developed enough, but it was widely used in developed countries. At present, with the rapid progress of China's aquaculture industry, it is also widely used in China, mainly in aquaculture and aquaculture. Why is pellet widely used now and what are the benefits?

今天主要列举了颗粒饲料和粉状饲料的对比：

The comparison between pellet feed and powdered feed is listed

稳定性高

High stability

粉状饲料很容易发潮结团，甚是发生霉变；粉状饲料长期暴露在空气里很容易氧化，但是颗粒饲料在经过挤压后和空气接触小，而且存储时间相对于来说比较久，此外颗粒饲料加工过程中都经过处理，防潮效果好。

Powder feed is easy to damp and agglomerate, and even mildew; powdered feed is easy to oxidize when exposed to air for a long time, but the pellet feed has little contact with the air after extrusion, and the storage time is relatively long. In addition, the pellet feed has been treated in the process of processing, and the moisture-proof effect is good.

适口性好

Good palatability

颗粒饲料在加工过程中内含有蜂蜜、油脂等一些佐料，猪的饮食量也会增加；猪喜好吃植物的根茎，而颗粒料是仿植物的根茎做的，适口性相对比较好，另外颗粒饲料经过熟孵和膨化，这些改变了饲料结构，猪的食欲会增大。

During the processing of pellet feed, there are some seasonings such as honey and oil, so the pig's diet will also increase; pigs like to eat the roots and stems of plants, and the pellet feed is made of imitating the roots of plants, which has relatively good palatability. In addition, after mature incubation and expansion, these changes the feed structure and increases the pig's appetite.

饲料转化率高

High feed conversion rate

猪的嗅觉比的嗅觉还敏感，这个特长能够帮助它们寻到食物，哪怕在地下数米都能嗅到，所以在猪吃饲料的时候总爱挑拣，一些饲料就会洒落出来，相比较颗粒饲料不会造成饲料的过多浪费，而且能保证营养的转化。

Pigs' sense of smell is more sensitive than dogs' sense of smell. This specialty can help them find food, even if they can smell it a few meters underground. Therefore, pigs always choose when they eat feed, and some feed will spill out. Compared with pellet feed, pellet feed will not cause excessive waste of feed, and can ensure the transformation of nutrition.

减少分层

Reduce layering

养猪人在使用自配料的时候可能会发现这样一个问题，一些配制的饲料有分层的情况，因为各种粉料的密度和体积都不一样，放在一起会出现分层情况，出现这种情况就会导致营养分配不均匀，这样不利于猪的生长。

Pig breeders may find such a problem when using self-made ingredients. Some formulated feeds have layered situation, because the density and volume of various powders are different. If they are put together, there will be stratification, which will lead to uneven distribution of nutrients, which is not conducive to the growth of pigs.

此外，粉状饲料粉尘大，容易使猪感染呼吸道疾病，而且颗粒料则不会有这样的问题出现，从而能保证猪的健康。

In addition, the powder feed dust, easy to make pigs infected with respiratory diseases, and pellet will not have such problems, so as to ensure the health of pigs.

饲料颗粒更

Safer feed pellets

自己配的饲料很容易被细菌、病毒等感染，由于原料从收割到运输到保存配制这些过程都有可能受到污染，比如自配料被感染上大肠杆菌污染，猪吃后就会导致猪群腹泻，给猪场带来损失。

The feed prepared by ourselves is easy to be infected by bacteria and viruses. Due to the raw materials from harvesting to transportation to preservation and preparation, these processes may be contaminated. For example, the self ingredients are contaminated by Escherichia coli, which will lead to diarrhea of pigs after eating, which will bring losses to the pig farm.

而颗粒料是采用上蒸汽高温然后制作成的颗粒，在制作过程中，高温下能够有效杀灭病原，从而导致饲料的。

The pellet material is made of high-temperature steam, which can effectively kill the pathogen in the process of production, thus leading to the safety of feed.
