Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of feed preparation, and in particular relates to a granular 10% mutton fattening premix and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In the large-scale fattening industry of mutton sheep, premixes are the core carrier of nutrition supply, and their quality directly determines fattening efficiency and breeding income. The fattening premixes for mutton sheep currently on the market generally have the following prominent problems:
[0003] Design formula and animation . Inconsistent feeding formula: Traditional premixes are mostly in powder form. Since sheep prefer to eat granular substances, powdered premixes will lead to insufficient feeding during the feeding process. This not only leads to the design formula not being consistent with the nutritional requirements of feeding, resulting in insufficient nutritional needs and affecting production performance, but also causes varying degrees of waste.
[0004] Nutritional supply mismatches with fattening needs: Traditional premixes often use common vitamins and inorganic trace elements, which are easily inactivated by high temperatures and humidity during storage and processing, resulting in insufficient effective nutritional content. Furthermore, their nutritional profiles fail to precisely meet the physiological needs of rapid weight gain during fattening. In particular, the synergistic effects of energy, amino acids, and minerals are unbalanced, making it difficult for sheep to achieve an average daily weight gain exceeding 350 grams, far below the target for efficient farming.
[0005] Insufficient core feed intake and waste coexist: Existing premixes are mostly powdered, with poor palatability and high dust production. This reduces sheep's appetite for feeding, leading to insufficient intake of core nutrients. Some farms blindly increase feed amounts to boost feed intake. However, because powdered feed is easily graded and mixed unevenly, this results in localized nutrient overload and waste, resulting in high feed-to-weight ratios and escalating breeding costs.
[0006] The incidence of urinary stones remains high: During the fattening period of mutton sheep, urinary stones are a common disease due to the high intake of high-protein feed and relatively insufficient water intake. Traditional premixes are not formulated to address the causes of stones and lack effective prevention mechanisms. The incidence of urinary stones on some farms even exceeds 5%, increasing medical costs and causing serious economic losses due to the increased culling rate of mutton sheep.
[0007] Processing technology restricts nutrient retention: Conventional premix processing mostly uses simple mixing technology, which cannot achieve the stabilization of nutrients.
[0008] Furthermore, existing premixes lack optimal carrier selection, often consisting primarily of bran and second-grade flour, resulting in low bulk density and limited nutritional contribution. These factors make it difficult to deliver high-concentration nutrients and fail to meet the core feed requirements of fattening mutton sheep. These challenges hinder efficiency improvements in the fattening industry, necessitating the development of a new premix product that balances precise nutrient delivery, feeding convenience, stone prevention, and processing stability.
[0009] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0010] In order to solve the above technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:
[0011] A granular 10% mutton fattening premix consists of the following raw materials by weight: 5kg of complex vitamins, 20kg of complex trace elements, 25kg of molasses, 250kg of stone powder, 600kg of corn, 90kg of brewer's yeast culture, 90kg of salt, and 10kg of soybean oil.

The total mixing time is 10-15 minutes, ensuring that the coefficient of variation of uniformity is less than 5%; wrap the vitamin raw materials and dry the mineral raw materials;
[0015] Step S3: Tempering and granulation: Steam is introduced into the mixed powder at a temperature of 80-90°C and a pressure of 0.3-0.5 MPa to adjust the moisture content to 14%-16%. A ring die granulator is used with a die hole diameter of 3-5 mm and a granulation temperature of 75-85°C.
[0016] Step S4: Cooling and post-processing: Cool the particles to room temperature + 5°C or below, reduce the moisture to below 12%, and sieve out broken particles with a sieve aperture of 2.5-4 mm; spray 1% grease after cooling.

[0019] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in the mixing and pre-dilution steps, the small mixer is used to premix a small amount of carrier and trace ingredients, and the main mixer is used to mix the premixed material with other raw materials.
[0020] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in the conditioning and granulation steps, the moisture content and temperature of the powder are adjusted by introducing steam.
[0021] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in the cooling and post-processing steps, the particles are cooled by a countercurrent cooler and broken particles are screened out by a vibrating screen.
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0023] The 10% granular fattening premix feed for mutton sheep produced by the present invention is composed of coated vitamins, organic trace elements, brewer's yeast culture, corn and other elements.
