🌾 Produce your own feed

More and more farmers are choosing to produce their own feed – both to reduce costs, improve quality and secure supply. With a modern feed mill from SKIOLD, you can transform your own crops into fresh, nutritious feed tailored to your animals.

Here we have compiled the most frequently asked questions about producing your own feed – and how to get started.

🌾 Why should I consider producing my own feed?

Answer:
When you produce your own feed, you gain full control over quality, price and nutritional content. You can use your own raw materials, tailor recipes to your animals' needs and reduce your dependence on external suppliers. The result is fresher feed, lower costs and greater flexibility.

🌾Which animals can I produce feed for?

Answer:
SKIOLD feed mills can be adapted to all types of livestock production – from pigs, poultry and cattle to sheep and goats. Each feed mill is dimensioned according to animal type, herd size and desired capacity.

🌾 What does it take to start your own feed production?

Svar:
You need a milling-mixing system that suits your needs – typically consisting of a mill, mixer, transport equipment and, if necessary, pelletising. SKIOLD offers complete solutions that can be expanded as production increases.

🌾 How much are the financial savings?

Answer:
Many producers experience 10–30% lower feed costs because they make use of their own raw materials and avoid costly intermediaries. The payback period is often 2–4 years, depending on production volume.

🌾 How does freshness affect animal health and productivity?

Answer:
Fresh feed has a higher nutritional value and better palatability, which increases appetite. In addition, cleaning the raw materials reduces the risk of mould, bacterial growth and disease – which in turn leads to better animal welfare and higher growth rates.

🌾 Can I use local raw materials in my feed?

Answer:
Yes. Producing your own feed allows you to use local grain and protein raw materials – e.g. barley, wheat, maize, rapeseed or beans – thereby reducing the carbon footprint from transport and import.
