Quality of raw materials and animal feed ingredients
In a typical livestock enterprise, about 70 per cent of the cost constitutes the total feed cost. The main objective of any livestock enterprise is to create profits. Thus most farmers consequently opt for the highest productivity with minimal investment. Thus investing in animal feed or raw materials plays an important role in the final productivity. This has also affected the feed formulation. Most of the farmers adopt the least cost formulation methods for better profit. But one should always remember not to compromise on the quality of the raw materials used for the formulation. A low-quality diet in any livestock enterprise will never obtain optimum productivity and profit.
Thus choosing quality raw material is essential in ensuring an adequate amount of vital nutrients like proteins, energy, vitamins and minerals for the animal. Most of the livestock feed consists of grains and milling by-products. When choosing among these raw materials, certain factors are to be checked to ensure high-quality feed for the animal.
