Mixing: guidelines for quality feed production ensuring better animal performance

Good day Mohamed, Thank you for your article. Although Dr. Benke was my professor at KSU and I respect him highly, I personally consider his "EXCELLENT & GOOD" ratings in the 1994 chart based on the percentage of the coefficient of variation is not accurate anymore and this should be re-evaluated. With today's technology and variety of mixing equipment, an "EXCELLENT" CV in the feed milling industry is considered equal or below 5%. 10-15% CV is not considered good anymore, even if the diets are for bovines, big species, hogs, etc., The mixing efficiency or CV has to be equal or below 5%, which could be achieved with different types of mixers (single or double-shaft paddle mixers, some ribbon-paddle mixers, etc.). If you have questions please contact me at any time. Congratulations to ENGORMIX, your web portal is doing an excellent job to the Agri-Business industries at worldwide level !!!
