Feed Raw Material Handling and Storage

The document discusses feed raw materials for poultry, including grains, cereal byproducts, vegetable and animal proteins, and micro-ingredients. It describes proper handling and storage of these materials, including storage in bags, bins, tanks, and silos. Key aspects of storage are controlling moisture, temperature, insects, and molds. The document outlines best practices for grain storage facilities, including aeration systems to equalize moisture and temperature, temperature monitoring, fumigation, and unloading systems. Proper handling and storage helps preserve raw material quality and value.

Grain Storage
Management
 Main process of the
“Quality Management System”

Requirement of all Industrial Standards and Food and Safety


Laws

– HACCP
– Hazard analysis and critical control points

– ISO 22000  International Organization for Standardization

– GSP (Good Storage Practices)


RAW MATERIAL Storage

 Producer/ Farmer
 Merchandiser/ Middle-man
 Government
 Feed Mill / Flour Mill
 Scope of storage can be different for
them, but objective should be the
same.

 Preserving Value
 Preserving Utility
Grain Storage
Management System
 “Creating and maintaining a storage
environment that enables grain to be
stored without significant quality
degradation”.
Enemies of Grain Quality

 Insects
 Moisture
 Heat
 Molds
Friends of Grain Quality
 Selection
 Grain cleaning
 Sanitation Short-chain VFAs

 Aeration
 Chemicals No residues

 Maintenance
Reduce PH
How to Store ?

 Traditional System
– Bags – Warehouse
 Advanced System
– Silos
Traditional System’s
Insufficiency
 Material Handling Reasons.
– Increased Volumes
– Labor shortage
 Regulatory Reasons.
– Industrial Standards
– Regulatory standards
 Economical Reasons.
– Cost of bags
– Cost of warehouse

Establishing a good Grain Storage Management System


is relatively difficult
Grain Storage Silos

 Types
– Concrete silo
– Steel Silo
Recent Trend
From concrete...

…to steel.
Why Steel Silos

 Economical than concrete.


– Designing
– Construction
 Ease of installation.
 Resale or Change of place
Feature of Steel Silo
 Silo loading system
 Silo Un-loading System
– Sweep augers
– Side draw
 Temperature monitoring system
 Aeration system
 Fumigation
 Level indicators
 Inside/out side ladders

Why to Aerate Grain?

 To condition dry grain


 Conditioned grain
– Less mold/fungi growth
– Less insect activity
– Managed moisture
– Managed heat
 Improve chances of successful storage
Why Aerate Grain?

 Grain condition can


– never be improved
– can only be maintained
Why Aerate Grain?

 Because grain is alive


– If planted, it will grow
Why Aerate Grain?
 Living grain
– Breathes air
– Releases
moisture
 Aeration equalizes
moisture
 Aeration equalizes
temperature
Why Aerate Grain?

 Mold and fungi always present


 Spoilage created by
– Mold & fungi
– Heat
– Moisture
 Control insect environment
