The intensive course „Fundamentals of compound-feed production“ provides knowledge in all relevant areas, which are necessary for the successful operation of compound-feed plants. The following topics are explained in detail:
Basic operations in the compound feed plant
Storage, dosing, conveying
Crushing, mixing
Conditioning, agglomerating (pelleting, expanding, extruding), cooling and drying
Sanitization
Measurement/laboratory
Sampling, documentation
Physical and chemical properties of the substance
Process measurement
Pellet quality
Feed law
Product and plant safety
Product safety and HACCP in the compound-feed mill
Energy and plant management
Working accuracy (mixture homogeneity and carry-over)
Fire and dust explosion protection
Animal nutrition and feed science
The topics are treated in lectures by the scientific and technical staff of the institute as well as by external speakers and deepened by practical experiments in the IFF technical centre and in the laboratory.
The course is aimed at:
– Employees of all levels of the compound-feed industry who need to know the entire process and/or need detailed knowledge of individual issues (newcomers, newcomers and sales staff, QM, etc.)
– Employees from companies that work together with the compound-feed industry and need the basic knowledge necessary for successful cooperation.
