CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to deal with wet feed

Problem introduction

In the process of feeding, we often encounter the situation that the feed is wet, which brings certain troubles to the breeder. So, when the feed is wet, how should we deal with it?

Influencing factors

First, we need to understand why feed is affected by moisture. Water in feed can lead to a decline in feed quality, affecting the taste of the feed and the stability of its nutritional components. Generally, there are two reasons for water in feed.

• Storage conditions: Feed is exposed to a humid environment during storage and is susceptible to moisture erosion.
• Feeding operation: During the feeding process, the breeder may cause the feed to come into contact with water due to improper operation.

Treatment

When the feed is wet, we can take the following approaches to deal with it.

1. Separate and dry:

   First, separate the wet feed from the dry feed to prevent the wet feed from coming into contact with the dry feed and causing the dry feed to get damp. Then, air the wet feed in a well-ventilated, dry place to make it lose moisture as quickly as possible. The airing time depends on the actual situation, but make sure the feed is completely dry.

2. Drying treatment:

   If the moisture content of the feed is high, you can consider drying it. Use a professional feed dryer to dry the feed to improve the quality and shelf life of the feed. The drying temperature and time need to be determined according to the type and moisture content of the feed to avoid over-drying of the feed.

3. Add desiccant:

   In order to prevent the feed from getting damp again, we can also add a certain amount of desiccant. Commonly used desiccants include corn stalks, rice husks, etc. They can absorb moisture in the feed and keep the feed dry. When adding desiccant, you need to pay attention to the dosage to avoid affecting the taste and nutritional value of the feed.

in conclusion

The treatment methods for wet feed mainly include separation and drying, drying and adding desiccant. Reasonable selection of treatment methods can avoid the quality decline and nutritional loss caused by moisture in feed, and ensure the quality and nutritional value of feed. In daily feeding, we should strengthen the storage management and feeding operation of feed, and try to avoid the influence of moisture on feed.
