Preparation of stem vegetable raw materials in the production of briquetted feed mixtures

To maintain the stable competitiveness of Russian agricultural products in the domestic and foreign markets, it is necessary to find reserves for the use of non-waste technologies using domestic raw materials in full. In the conditions of growing feed production, providing the feed industry with components of plant origin, an important role belongs to the use of inexpensive rough grass feed. Their use allows more rational use of plant stem forage, completely balances the diet of animals, mechanizes the distribution of feed, reduces its losses during transportation, distribution and eating, and thus significantly reduces the cost of livestock products. In connection with the production of new types of products in the form of briquettes, the production technology of which involves the introduction of stem plant materials, the process of their preparation is of great importance. Studies of the process of grinding stem plant raw materials with different moisture content on a hammer crusher were carried out, during which the optimal parameters of its operation were determined, which make it possible to reduce the energy intensity of the grinding process by 8.5-10.5% and improve the quality of the produced briquettes
