Animal feed

Smicon has built up a good reputation with numerous animal feed manufacturers. This is reflected in the pre-processing of raw materials from food production or food recycling to make them suitable for processing or use in animal feed.

This applies to both dry products (sweets, biscuits or bread) and wet products (potatoes, vegetables, fruit and other foodstuffs), as well as residual flows such as brewers' grains.
Producers of various types of animal feed (pig feed, chicken feed and insect feed) have to deal with the pre-processing of various raw materials, which requires precision and flexibility. The main challenges are:

• Various raw materials: From dry to wet products, each type requires a unique approach to maintain the nutritional value.
• Cost control: Production residual flows such as bread, sweets and potatoes are often variable in quantity and quality, so a consistent product supply is not always self-evident.
• Food safety: Animal feed must meet strict safety and quality standards, which places high demands on the processing process.
