[0002] Fermented feed is a kind of biological fermented feed taking microorganism and compound enzyme as a fermentation agent strain, which converts feed raw materials into microbial cell protein, bioactive small peptide amino acid, microbial active probiotic and compound enzyme preparation. The production path of fermented feed is to first expand the strain in a seed tank, then distribute it to each inoculation tank through a pipeline to ferment the feed raw materials and obtain fermented feed. The pipeline conveying the strain needs to be sterilized for each batch of fermented feed production to prevent interference with the next production.

[0003] In the prior art, a Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN220757699U and the name of a probiotic transfer pipeline sterilization device has been disclosed. This patent uses high-temperature steam to kill the microorganisms in the pipette after each production. However, this sterilization method involves passing steam into the pipette from one end and relying on the steam to completely flow through the pipette to achieve sterilization. During this process, if the pipeline is long, the steam cooling distance is also long, and the pipette cannot be fully sterilized. In addition, there is a lot of condensed water in the pipeline, which is difficult to drain completely, and may dilute the strain for the next production, affecting the inoculation effect.
