Compound feeds and premixes: what are they and why are they needed?
Let’s keep it simple. If you’ve ever wondered where a cow gets milk, a chicken gets an egg, and a steer gets weight, the answer is the same: feed. But not just grain or hay like it used to be. Modern animal husbandry has long since moved away from the old methods, and today livestock nutrition is an exact science in which every gram counts.
Compound feed is a complete ration, already balanced in all nutrients. It includes proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and trace elements in the right proportions. You can say that it is like a home meal, where everything is already counted – and calories, and the balance of BJU.
Premixes are supplements that enhance the effect of the basic diet. They contain vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes and probiotics. Without them, the animal’s body will not be able to efficiently absorb nutrients. It is like vitamins and supplements for an athlete – it seems that he eats well, but for high performance he needs a little more.
Why is quality compound feed not a luxury but a necessity?
Bad feed is not just about taste or smell. It’s a direct path to poor performance, disease and loss. Lack of balance leads to nutrient deficiencies, weight loss, poorer growth, less milk or eggs. And after that – downtime, veterinary costs, loss of profit.
Good compound feed is an investment in the stability and growth of the farm.
It ensures:
- full development of animals;
- high productivity;
- strong immunity;
- minimal disease risks;
- reduction of costs for treatment and ration correction.
Therefore, production of mixed fodders and premixes is not just “mixed grain with additives”. It is a whole technological process that requires precision, knowledge and modern equipment.
