The invention relates to a process for producing a feed composition for cattle or the like, in particular a fattening feed, wherein conventional feed is intended to be replaced. In this case, first a premix (1) of cereal components, fat, molasses, vitamins, minerals and/or other ingredients is mixed and conditioned with addition of steam (7) and water (6) and subsequently fed to a mechanical and/or thermal treatment where the mixture is heated, processed and shaped to form porous lumps.

Description

Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Futterzusammensetzung für Rinder Process for the preparation of a feed composition for cattle
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Futterzusammensetzung für Rinder oder dergleichen, insbesondere für die Rindermast.The invention relates to a method for producing a feed composition for cattle or the like, in particular for cattle fattening.
Es ist bekannt, Tierfutter durch extrudieren herzustellen. So ist in der DE-A-2346830 die Herstellung eines weichen, expandierten und fetthaltigen PET-Futters mit krümeliger Struktur beschrieben, wobei das Futter neben Fett einen mehl- und proteinhaltigen Grundstoff enthält. Die Bestandteile werden gemischt und auf einen Feuchtegehalt von ca. 20-35 Gew.% gebracht. Die Mischung wird unter erhöhtem Druck mechanisch durchgearbeitet und auf eine Temperatur oberhalb 1000C erwärmt, bis die Mischung in einen fliessfähigen Zustand übergeht. Anschliessend erfolgt die Extrusion/Expansion, so dass ein Futter mit expandierter Struktur und krümeliger Textur entsteht. Bei einem weiteren Extrusionsverfahren gemäss DE-A-3222646 wird ein flüssiger Zuschlagstoff im Expander in eine Mischung eingespritzt, so dass der Zuschlagstoff nach der Expansion der Mischung gleichmässig durch das expandierte Produkt diffundiert.It is known to produce animal feed by extruding. For example, DE-A-2346830 describes the production of a soft, expanded and fatty PET feed having a crumbly structure, the feed containing, in addition to fat, a flour and protein-containing base material. The ingredients are mixed and brought to a moisture content of about 20-35 wt.%. The mixture is mechanically worked through under elevated pressure and heated to a temperature above 100 0 C until the mixture is in a flowable state. Subsequently, the extrusion / expansion takes place, so that a feed with expanded structure and crumbly texture is created. In a further extrusion process according to DE-A-3222646, a liquid additive in the expander is injected into a mixture, so that the additive uniformly diffuses through the expanded product after the expansion of the mixture.
In der DE-A-2257108 ist ein Futter beschrieben, das neben Getreide auch Heu und Silofutter und eine stickstoffhaltige Nichtproteinsubstanz, z. B. Harnstoff oder dergleichen (15-47,5 Gew.%) sowie eine flüssigkeitsabsorbierende Inertsubstanz (z. B. Betonfff enthält. Das Gemisch wird unter anwachsendem Druck auf bis zu 160°C erwärrrrt, komprimiert und expandiert anschliessend zu einem gelatinierten Produkt mit eine'm Feuchtigkeitsgehalt von weniger als 13%. Erreicht werden soll ein Futter mit neutralem pH-Wert.In DE-A-2257108 a feed is described, which in addition to grain and hay and silage and a nitrogen-containing non-protein substance, for. Urea or the like (15-47.5% by weight) and a liquid-absorbing inert substance (eg concrete) The mixture is heated under increasing pressure up to 160 ° C., then compressed and subsequently expanded to give a gelatinized product A moisture content of less than 13% is to be achieved with a neutral pH feed.
Rinderfutter, insbesondere für die Rindermast, weist einen hohen Maisanteil, Silage und Fasern, einschliesslich Heu (welches teuer ist) u. a. in loser Mischung auf. Dieses Futter wird vom Tier selektiv ausgelesen. Aufgeschlossen ist nur der Mais mittels z.B. dämpfen und flockieren, die restlichen Futteranteüe werden nicht weiter vorbereitet. Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Futterzu- sammensetzung für Rinder oder dergleichen, insbesondere für die Mast zu entwickeln, welche nach einer Behandlung nicht gekühlt oder getrocknet werden muss und das homogen, gut verdaulich und nahrhaft ist, Es soll eine bessere Futternutzung und Futterverwertung ermöglichenCattle feed, in particular for cattle fattening, has a high proportion of maize, silage and fibers, including hay (which is expensive), inter alia in loose mixture. This food is selectively selected by the animal. Only the corn is open-minded, for example by steaming and flocculating, the rest of the food is not prepared further. The object of the invention is to develop a method for producing a feed composition for cattle or the like, in particular for the fattening, which does not have to be cooled or dried after a treatment and which is homogeneous, easy to digest and nutritious enable better feed use and feed conversion
Die Aufgabe ist mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Kennzeichnend ist hierbei, dass die Bestandteile der Futterzusammensetzung mechanisch und/oder thermisch behandelt werden.The object is solved with the features of claim 1. It is characteristic here that the constituents of the feed composition are treated mechanically and / or thermally.
Vorteilhafte Ausführungen sind in den Unteransprüchen offenbart.Advantageous embodiments are disclosed in the subclaims.
So kann das Futter mechanisch bearbeitet resp. kurzzeitig hochtemperaturbehandelt sein und die Behandlung kann in einer oder in mehreren Stufen erfolgen.So the feed can be machined resp. be briefly high temperature treated and the treatment can be done in one or more stages.
Das Futter in Form von agglomerierten Brocken geringer Dichte soll neben Getreide, Sorghum, Melasse, Fett, Vitaminen, Wasser, Mineralstoffen, Fasern und anderen Zusätzen 0-50% Stroh, insbesondere Weizenstroh enthalten können. Bei Abmessungen der Brocken von ca. 1-7 cm kann die Länge der Stroh- oder Heufasern ca. 1-10 cm betragen.The feed in the form of agglomerated low-density chunks should contain, besides cereals, sorghum, molasses, fat, vitamins, water, minerals, fibers and other additives, 0-50% straw, in particular wheat straw. With dimensions of the chunks of about 1-7 cm, the length of the straw or hay fibers can be about 1-10 cm.
Die Bestandteile des Futters werden gemischt, in üblicher weise konditioniert und die Mischung wird nachfolgend mittels expandieren, Kurzzeithochtemperaturverfahren o. a. zu porösen Brocken agglomeriert. Ein nachfolgendes trocknen oder kühlen des so erhaltenen dietetischen Rinderfutters ist nicht erforderlich.The ingredients of the feed are mixed, conventionally conditioned, and the mixture is subsequently expanded by means of short-time high temperature methods or the like. agglomerated into porous chunks. Subsequent drying or cooling of the resulting dietetic cattle feed is not required.
Die neue Produktform ermöglicht den Ersatz von herkömmlichem Futter. Dieses neue Futter wird komplett mit allen Bestandteilen aufgenommen und ermöglicht eine bessere Nahrungsaufnahme und -Verwertung und andererseits den Verzicht auf teure (z.B. Mais oder Luzerne) und/oder wenig nahrhafte (z. B. Heu) Bestandteile. Die verbesserte Verdaulichkeit und Verwertung des Futters erhöht die Effektivität der Rindermast. Durch das Stroh (Weizenstroh oder dergleichen) kann ebenfalls Luzerne ersetzt werden. Zusätzlich bewirkt der Einsatz von Sorghum anstelle von Mais eine geringere Umweltbelastung, da Sorghum beim Pflanzenwachstum wesentlich weniger Wasser erfordert.The new product form allows the replacement of conventional feed. This new feed is completely absorbed with all ingredients, allowing for better food intake and utilization, and eliminating expensive (eg corn or alfalfa) and / or low nutritious (eg hay) ingredients. The improved digestibility and utilization of the feed increases the effectiveness of the cattle fattening. Through the straw (wheat straw or the like) alfalfa can also be replaced. In addition, the use of sorghum in place of corn causes a lower environmental impact, since sorghum requires much less water in plant growth.
Hergestellt werden können sowohl Starterprodukte mit hohem Faseranteil als auch Mastfutter mit sehr geringem Anteil an Strohfasern, da die Form der Brocken die einzige Aufgabe von Heu- oder Strohfasem im Pansen (mechanische Reizung) übernehmen kann. Somit kann der Einsatz solcher Fasern ganz entfallen.Starch products with a high fiber content and fattening with a very low content of straw fibers can be produced, as the shape of the chunks can be the sole task of hay or straw fibers in the rumen (mechanical irritation). Thus, the use of such fibers can be completely eliminated.
