1. Plant base 
2. Animal base 
Different species have different nutritional requirement thus knowing the right ingredient to add into the feed is very important in feed formulation.

As it passes through the die, the air cools and due to the change in pressure, the pellet expands.
- High production costs
- Controls pellet buoyancy]]> 2020-11-25 03:54:22 UTC https://padlet.com/190001371/ddj68vh1vd0qfipy/wish/958588245 19022561 https://padlet.com/190001371/ddj68vh1vd0qfipy/wish/958589101 Grinding the ingredients into smaller pieces to reduce clumps and enhancing feed digestibility and mixing properties. After grinding it can be passed through a sieve to separate the throughs and the overs. 
There are 4 types of machinery to help in grinding:
1. Hammermills
2. Attrition mills
3. Roller mills
4. cutters]]> 2020-11-25 03:54:58 UTC https://padlet.com/190001371/ddj68vh1vd0qfipy/wish/958589101 19022561 https://padlet.com/190001371/ddj68vh1vd0qfipy/wish/958596117 - After grinding the feed, we have to mix the ingredients thoroughly to ensure that all the ingredients and content is consistent in each pellet. 
- Usually larger volumes of ingredients are added first before any liquid is added 
- Horizontal and vertical mixer
- Don't over and under mix]]> 2020-11-25 04:00:08 UTC https://padlet.com/190001371/ddj68vh1vd0qfipy/wish/958596117 19022561 https://padlet.com/190001371/ddj68vh1vd0qfipy/wish/958603311 Forcing of feed into the die and cutting it.
- Extrusion 
- Microencapsulation ]]> 2020-11-25 04:05:11 UTC https://padlet.com/190001371/ddj68vh1vd0qfipy/wish/958603311 190147961 https://padlet.com/190001371/ddj68vh1vd0qfipy/wish/958614863 - Moisture and binding agents and/or humectants are added into the feed so the moisture content reaches desirable levels. Which means moist food should have 20 to 40% water content while wet feed should have 50 to 70% water content.
- The mixture is passed through a noodle-type machine before being cut]]> 2020-11-25 04:13:15 UTC https://padlet.com/190001371/ddj68vh1vd0qfipy/wish/958614863 190001371 https://padlet.com/190001371/ddj68vh1vd0qfipy/wish/958622980 Having proper storage for the feed can ensure quality of the feed to remain good. 
Feed can store in areas above the ground so that rodents or insects are unable to reach it. 
It also cannot be stored in high temperature/humidity as it will increase moisture content in the feed which result in losing its quality and toxin may be produced
Hence temperature, humidity in storage area should be controlled making it unflavourable for fungi or bacteria to grow

Minimal storage time (30-45days max) 
controlled humidity 
store in clean area 
storing it in regridgerator or air conditioning area is ideal ]]> 2020-11-25 04:28:40 UTC https://padlet.com/190001371/ddj68vh1vd0qfipy/wish/958636455 190147961 https://padlet.com/190001371/ddj68vh1vd0qfipy/wish/958644544 -After grinding the ingredients, they must be sieved to separate the overs and throughs. 
-The overs are either rejected or resent back to grinding while the throughs will be collected for mixing
- Sieving is important to ensure ingredient size is consistent]]> 2020-11-25 04:34:02 UTC https://padlet.com/190001371/ddj68vh1vd0qfipy/wish/958644544
