Alfalfa Pellet Machine

1. Frequency control of feeding insures the even feeding.
2. Special material with well anti-resistance, high strength and toughness application in core parts.
3. Simple structure and easy maintenance, unceasingly operation, widely applied and with small floor space.
4. Special molding angel makes smooth pellets discharge and small vibration.
5. Feeder: feeding grass raw material into the pellet making chamber.the feeder is made of stainless steel.
6. Pellet making unit: ring die and press roller inside work together to make the biomass grass raw material into grass pellet.
7. Super quality Siemens motor and high quality bearing ensure efficient, stable and reliable driving.
8. advanced device and technological design insure the long service time of main components.
9. Flat assembly structure. Materials fed from up feeding gate makes it easier to get into the compression chamber.
10. Less manual, low energy consumption and high capacity.
11. Forced feeding unit: since the raw material is fluffy, and the bulking value is higher, we equip the force feeding device.

Alfalfa

Alfalfa pellets and alfalfa bales benefit animals because they are high in fiber, packed with nutrients such as calcium and are a viable source of digestible protein. Alfalfa's high fiber content makes alfalfa an ideal animal feed choice due to the fibrous diet requirements of livestock.

The alfalfa pellet production process preserves the product's distinguishing original nutritional properties: protein, minerals, lipids, vitamins, pro-vitamins e polyunsaturated fats (omega-3 and omega-6), besides sugar, organic acid and carotene. Thanks to its high feeding value, alfalfa pellet is the perfect feed for dairy cows, sheep and goats, horses, camels, rabbits and other livestock animals as it improves their performance and production.

In addition, alfalfa benefits the following animal groups:

• Weaning
• Growing
• Gestating
• Lactating
• Geriatric
• Stressed
• Traveling

Why Choose Alfalfa For Making Animal Feed Pellets?

Alfalfa hay is the forage plant par excellence. It has great nutritional properties which makes it the perfect choice for making animal feed pellets.

1. High in nutrients: Alfalfa is an excellent source of vegetable protein, energy, vitamins, and minerals for animals including horse, pig and poultry. Besides, it is also rich in many other nutrients such as magnesium, molybdenum, sulfur, boron, calcium, potassium and phosphorus, etc. All these nutrients are good for animal healthy.
2. Good for animals’ healthy: It is found that alfalfa has buffering effects on stomach acid, helping to reduce the incidence and severity of gastric ulcers.
3. Rich in fiber: For ruminant animals, the fiber in alfalfa is fermentable by the large intestine and their digestibility can be highly improved in this way. The intake of fiber in animal feed is based on the particle size of the feed pellets.

If you want to feed your animal with Alfalfa Pellets, there are two things to consider: Firstly change over to it gradually, and secondly try to limit it at first because its tastiness might lead to overeat. As a side benefit, alfalfa hay pellets are great ways to add water into forage as pellets can be soaked before feeding.

Advantages of Alfalfa Fertilizer Pellets

1. Rich in minerals

Alfalfa is in high nitrogen and it contains other nutrients, including phosphorus, potassium, calcium, sulfur, etc. The NPK ratio is about 3:1:3, which varies from its source.

2. Increasing organic matter

Alfalfa roots provides a large number organic substance in soil. It can absorb nourishing substance from deep soil and makes soil form new aggregates so as to improve soil physical and chemical properties. And then soil fertility is improved.

3. Accelerating composting

While making composting, you need to add some other materials in your pile. Alfalfa is a good organic matter in organic fertilizer production. The organic matters are decomposed quickly and then it causes heat for proper high temperature condition. What’s more, nutrients is increased in your compost when alfalfa is added.

4. Providing nutrients for microorganisms

Because of high protein, amino acids, fiber and sugars in alfalfa stalk, microorganisms growth is accelerated. As for carbon nitrogen ratio, it is 24:1 in alfalfa, which is perfect balance for microorganisms.

Other Usage of Alfalfa

Due to high nutrient content in alfalfa, it is used for animal feed(after pelletized by flat die pellet mill). Livestock can eat alfalfa directly. As for protein, it is easier to be absorbed than other storage protein. Alfalfa can restore vegetation and preserve the ecological environment. In America, alfalfa is widely used in grassland restoration where is overgrazing. In addition, alfalfa can be used for soil and water conservation and sand break. In a word, it is a good materials for animal industry and environment.

Application

Alfalfa pellets for animal feed

• Making alfalfa into pellets can reduce its volume, so they are convenient to store and transport.
• Alfalfa pellets are more palatable for animals than bulky alfalfa. Making pellets can reduce food waste and promote feed intake.
• Alfalfa pellets are easier for digestion and nutrition absorption. Cows fed with alfalfa pellets have their milk yield increased. Pigs eating alfalfa pellets have less possibility to get constipation.
• Alfalfa pellets can provide more nutritional value than the same quantity of alfalfa, as a recent research indicates. So making pellets can save your fodder.
• Alfalfa pellets can provide livestock with forage-based calories, which doesn’t have the side effects that high sugar and starch feed cause.

Alfalfa pellet fuel

Alfalfa pellets can also play the role of fuel. It is recommended to mix alfalfa with other biomass materials such as sawdust, grass, waste papers to improve the burning efficiency, and reduce the ahs and smoke emission.

Alfalfa pellets fertilizer

Alfalfa is a nitrogen-fixing plant. It deposits nitrogen from the atmosphere. The nitrogen content is about 5%. It also has other plant growth promoters like minerals and triacontanol.

You can make alfalfa into pellets and spread them in farmland as fertilizer. They apply to flower, vegetables and other plants, and stimulate their growth. As alfalfa pellets have higher density, they can nurture the plants for a longer period.
