1. Correctly understand the efficacy of premixes

Under intensive scale feeding conditions, animals must be provided with full price compound feed. To prepare a full price compound feed, premix is essential. The nutritional indicators such as crude protein, essential amino acids, energy, crude fiber, crude ash, calcium, phosphorus, sodium, and chlorine in the diet should be considered first. Only by combining with scientific and reasonable premix can animal production levels be improved and feed consumption be reduced.

2. Reasonable selection of premixes

The quality of premixes sold in the market varies, some of which have problems such as unreasonable formulas and substandard quality. When purchasing, it is necessary to start from reality and choose premixes according to the condition of the feed raw materials you have, and use them according to local conditions. If you only have energy feed ingredients, you should choose full nutrient concentrate; If there are both energy feed materials and protein materials, a composite premix with an addition amount of 3% to 10% can be selected; If it is a feed factory, 1%~3% composite premix produced by a professional premix factory or 0.1%~1% high-tech classified premix can be selected. We should choose pre mixed products produced by manufacturers with strong technical strength, complete product specifications, stable quality, and thoughtful after-sales service; Choose the formula type that is suitable for the type and characteristics of the base material you have based on the local agricultural and sideline product types.

3. Strictly identify quality

When purchasing premixes, it is advisable to first choose products from reputable manufacturers and carefully check whether their packaging is standardized and whether the label content is complete. The label should indicate the following items: product name, applicable stage, main ingredients, type and content of additives, addition ratio, production date, shelf life, execution standards, production company name, address, phone number, etc. Sensory evaluation of product quality is also necessary. Qualified premixes should have consistent particle size, uniform color, and no odor, mold, moisture absorption, or clumping.

4. Clearly define the target audience for use

When using premixes, suitable premixes should be selected based on the breeding animals and different growth stages, and the applicable breeding animals and stages indicated on the label should be carefully checked.

5. Accurate dosage

It should be fully mixed with other feed according to the instructions. Generally, the amount of premixed feed accounts for 1% to 10% of the total amount of compound feed, and it should be accurately weighed when used. Because using too little does not achieve the desired effect, using too much is not only wasteful, but also prone to poisoning.

6. Mix thoroughly with basic feed

7. Proper storage

Pay attention to the storage time and conditions of the premix to maintain its freshness. Unpacked premixed materials should be stored in a ventilated, cool, and dry place, and classified for safekeeping; After opening the bag, it should be used up as soon as possible and not stored for a long time. During use, attention should be paid to sealing and avoiding moisture, otherwise it may lead to a decrease in the effective ingredient content.
