INDUSTRY PROFILE

Production of cattle feed is an important activity in rural and semi-urban areas. Apart
from farming activity, a large part of rural livelihood depends on cattle. It is the only
source of milk. Organic manure and fuel requirement is met from the excreta of the
cattle. Entire diary industry and meat is depending fully on the cattle rearing. Therefore,
the requirement of cattle feed for both as domestic animals as well as commercial cattle
in huge.

The demand for the milk and milk products has been increased. This makes it absolutely
necessary for rearing cattle which produce high yield. From this arouse the concept of
producing cattle feed, wherein there is no compromise over the nutritional composition.
Feed manufacturing, a commercial and scientific basis started around 1965 with the
setting up of medium sized feed plants in the Northern and Western India.

Nutrients abstracts and reviews, July 1994; in India, we have very large livestock
population comprising of 220 million cattle, 80 million buffaloes and 70 millions of
sheep. 120 million goats besides non ruminants and other species of livestock.

Kerala Feeds headed in palletized marketing introduced the cooking process. Improved
feed technology has resulted in better control and eradication of disease. The age old
feeding pattern practiced in India is a mixed variety consisting of green grass, dry grass,
cotton seed cake, coconut cake, rice bran etc..From the time immemorial, the cows were
fed by grazing in open areas. But, as time elapsed/due to changes both environmental and
social, there has been gradual shift from the age old pattern to Compouned Cattle Feed
(CCF).
GLOBAL SCENARIO

The global livestock industry refers to the raising of animals and the processing of animal
products. Animals raise for livestock industry purpose includes pigs, sheeps, cattle,
horses, and goats. Industrialization has led to significant changes within the livestock
industry allowing mass production of animal products to meet the growing needs of an
expanding global population. The global animal feed market is growing at a steady pace
and has a promising future because of the globally increasing demand for the meat and
meat products. Feed additives are becoming an important part of feed for animal growth
and nutrition. The feed industry has modern computerized plants and the latest
equipments for analytical producers and least cost ratio formulation and it employs the
latest manufacturing technology.
The organized sector of the compound feed industry is facing serious problems resulting
from a huge idle capacity to the extent of 50% or more. Global participants of the feed
business and by national as well as multinational integrators are adding new capacities.
Animal feeds play a leading role in the global food industry and feed is the largest and
most important component to ensuring safe, abundant and affordable animal proteins.
World compounded feed production is fast approaching an estimated 1 billion tones
annually. The Europe and the US are the largest markets for animal feed additives and
Asia is emerging as a high growth market. The UN Food and Agricultural Organization
(FAO) estimates that the world will have to produce 60% more feed by 2050. One of the
challenges is that on top of the almost 1 billion tones of feed is produced by the feed
industry and around 300 tones of feed are produced directly by its own farm mixing. IFIF
believes it is vital for the feed industry and for the sustainability of the whole feed and
food chain that clear standards apply throughout the whole feed chain. We believe both
industrial and on farm mixers should be controlled and inspected on a regular basis. that
clear
standards apply throughout the whole feed chain. We believe both industrial and on farm
mixers should be controlled and inspected on a regular basis.
NATIONAL SCENARIO

The Indian feed industry is about 35 years old. It is mainly restricted to diary and poultry
feed manufacturing. The quality standards of Indian feeds are high and up to international
levels. Raw materials for feed are adequately available in India. The industries population
is about 3 million tones which represent only 5% of the total potential and exporters are
not very high. The feed industry has modern computerized plants and the latest
manufacturing technology. In India most research work on animal feeds is practical and
focuses on the use of byproduct, the upgrade of ingredients and the enhancing of
productivity. The country has entered into a period of liberalization and this is bound to
influence the livestock industry. The per capital consumption of milk, egg and broiler
meat will grow. Today the Indian industry is undergoing a very exciting phase of growth
for the next decade.

STATE SCENARIO

There are about 33 companies manufacturing compounded cattle feed in the state, out of
this only 6 companies are in the organized sector rest of them are in the small scale
sector. They manufacture and sell their products under different brand names. The cattle
industry in Kerala is developing rapidly which create demand for the cattle feed. There
are many cattle farmers as well as laboratories, so cattle feed industry is growing. The
major players in Kerala are Kerala Feeds, Godrej Feeds Ltd, Milma Feeds, Prima Feeds,
SKM, Kerala Solvents and Extraction Ltd.
FUTURE SCOPE OF THE INDUSTRY

Recent liberalization of exterior trade in livestock products has made the feed industry
very competitive. In order to withstand in such a competitive environment it has become
very necessary for the domestic processing industries to improve its quality of work.

This decade is expressing significant changes in re-structuring mergers, acquisitions,


amalgamation, joint-ventures, diversifications, integration and efficient service chains,
commerce and largest information technology in global tender, trading, export/import and
other commercial activities. The root of all these development will be the scientific
development of feed manufacturing technology. The Indian feed industry will
increasingly use biotechnology and genetically modified organisms to support the feed
industry which is entering a very exciting phase of growth for the remaining portion of
this decade in order to complete this ever changing environment.

Kerala Feeds Cattle Feed : Process

Kerala Feeds Limited, is engaged in the production and sales of cattle feed. Presently, the
company is manufacturing three varieties of cattle feed to meet the requirement of
various type of cattle. Summary of the various process involved in the production of
Kerala Feeds cattle feed are given below :

Nearly twelve types of raw materials including different types of grains, de-oiled cakes,
minerals, salt, urea, molasses etc…are used in the production process. The agro based
raw materials are stored in the storage silos or raw material godown while molasses is
stored in the molasses tank. Depending on the formulation of the cattle feed to be
produced, the various raw materials are drawn from the silos automatically, or manually
dumped at the dump pits in the raw material godown. These raw materials are stored in
the proportionate bins, weighted to the proportion in the weighing hopper and transferred
to the buffer bin. This material then moves through the grinder sieve to the hammer mill
where it is powdered. Material from the hammer mill is then mixed with molasses and
transferred to the mash bins. Steam at optimum pressure is then applied to this material in
the pellet mill, where it is cocked and pelletised, The pellets are then cooled in the cooler
and collected in the pellet bins. The collected pellets are bagged and stitched.
MMCP Technology
In KFL, MMCP Technology is used for the manufacturing of cattle feeds. The word
MMCP is framed as an acronym for Milling, Mixing, Cooking and pellesting technology.
Using MMCP technology required quantities of raw materials, such as maize, bran,
wheat flakes etc are powdered to the required size using the milling process and these are
mixed according to the formula, formulated by Quality Control Department. The mixing
of raw materials resulted in a semi solid form of cattle feed. The mixture is cooked at
approximately 60 degree by a process called gelatinization. Finally the cooked
ingredients are allowed to extrude through a dye which gives shape of pellets.
