Homogeneisation of compound feeds: Definitions

Compared to a similar operation in other sectors, this operation has its own specific characteristics in terms of animal feed:

• it relates to a mixture of powders and a low percentage of liquid

• the powders are from organic or “chemical” sources and, therefore, have very different physical characteristics.

• it involves mixing powders, some of which are present in very small quantities, but which can be endowed with very high “biological “activity. Therefore, controlling this operation is not easy. First and foremost it requires the use of a common vocabulary.
