Lima has been serving customers for many years, and we know that many customers do not have a large scale, but they also have the demand for fish feed extruder machine. So, if we are ordinary family farmers, is it necessary to buy a fish feed extruder machine? What advantages does a fish feed extruder machine have for farmers?

Common situation of family fish farmers

Our LM 60 fish feed extruder machine, with an output of 100-150kg/h, is very popular among family farmers and is our best-selling model. For family farmers who raise fish, they are usually small-scale and lack the funds, technology and equipment required for large-scale farming. Therefore, a fish feed pellet machine is a considerable expense, so why do they still buy it?

Advantages of fish feed extruder machine

First of all, the fish feed extruder machine itself has many advantages for farmers, such as:

• Good feed palatability: Under mechanical pressure, the temperature during the production of feed pellets can reach 80-100℃, which can make the starch in the feed mature to a certain extent, improve the palatability of the feed, and make it easy to eat. In addition, during the pelleting process, due to the combined effects of moisture, temperature and pressure, the starch is gelatinized, the activity of enzymes is enhanced, and the feeding animals digest the feed more quickly, improving the feed conversion rate.
• Cost saving: Processing feed by yourself can reduce the cost of purchasing finished feed, and the raw materials can be reasonably matched according to the needs of breeding to further reduce the cost.
• Improve feed utilization: During the processing of the fish feed extruder machine, the raw materials can be treated with high temperature and high pressure to make the feed more mature and improve the digestibility.
• Convenient storage and feeding: The feed processed into pellets is easy to store, not easy to scatter, and convenient to feed.
• High efficiency: The fish feed extruder machine can quickly complete multiple processing procedures and improve the efficiency of feed production.

In addition, making feed into pellets also has many advantages, such as:

• Reducing parasites and diseases: The pellet formation process can denature pancreatic enzyme resistance factors in grains and beans, reduce adverse effects on digestion, and kill various parasite eggs and other pathogenic microorganisms, reducing various parasites and digestive system diseases.
• Easy to feed and control: Pellets are easy to feed, have high utilization rates, and are easy to control feeding amounts, reducing waste. For example, when raising fish, pellet feed dissolves very slowly in water and will not be submerged by mud and sand, further reducing waste.
• Prevent animals from being picky eaters: Pellets have high nutrient concentration and comprehensive nutrition, ensuring the integrity and completeness of the diet components, avoiding picky eating by poultry and livestock, and ensuring that animals get balanced nutrition.
• Easy to transport and store: Pellets have a high density, which reduces transportation costs and is easy to transport in bulk. At the same time, pellet feed is not easy to scatter and is easy to store.

Disadvantages of fish feed extruder machine

• Large initial investment: Purchasing a fish feed extruder machine requires a certain amount of capital investment, which may increase the initial cost for small farmers. However, we have different product models at Lima with different outputs. For beginners, we have the smallest model LM40, which has an output of 40-50kg/h and the cheapest price.
• Uncertain feed formula: Ordinary farmers generally do not have feed formulas, which is a problem for making feed. For this, we can provide feed formulas for every customer who buys our fish feed extruder machine.
• Machine operation: It requires operators with certain skills to operate, which is difficult for farmers who lack technical personnel to use. However, our Lima fish feed extruder machine is easy to operate, and each machine is equipped with an operation manual. Our staff will also do their best to solve the operation problems for you.

End of should I buy a fish feed extruder machine as an ordinary?
