Abstract
The main systems of feed manufacturing are covered in this chapter. However, focus is given on the pre-milling system sequence, which is more commonly used and better for rabbit feed manufacturing. In this system, weighing out is done prior to grinding. Emphasis is given on raw material addition, grinding, mixing, liquid addition and pelleting. The advantages and disadvantages of the pre-grinding and pre-milling systems are outlined. Other processing methods, such as expansion and extrusion, are also presented. Feed presentation, quality control, raw material and feed control, carry-over control, pellet quality, feed labelling, processing control and HACCP are discussed.
