Feed Mill

‍

• Roslin Nutrition has had the ability to manufacture trial feed for over 20 years. During this period, we have perfected
  a process whereby we can accurately produce feed to a very high standard of
  homogeneity achieving CV’s of between 5-7%.
• Small batch sizes of 200, 600 and 1100kg are the most common quantities of trial feed manufactured.
  
• Grab samples are taken from each 20kg bag, these are placed in a small mixer and mixed for 3 minutes. Sub samples are taken from
  the composite mix, some are retained within the feed mill and others will be sent for test product recovery and proximate analysis.
  
• Feed for studies is enclosed in 2ply brown paper bags, each bag is individually weighed (20kg), this weight is written on the
  bag.
  
• Each bag of feed is identified with a coloured label which refers to the treatment number, this enables the staff on farm to
  easily place the correct treated feed at the appropriate pen.
• We also offer a feed manufacturing service to companies who wish to undertake product recovery and stability testing of a
  product. We can collect samples of feed at multiple locations throughout the manufacturing process.
  
• We can produce feed through the pellet press at different temperatures within a range from 60oC to 80oC. Samples of feed, pre and post, pelleting are taken to allow analysis of the effect of temperature on active ingredients included in the complete feed.
