In the Moscow region, in the Dmitrovsky district, the PetKorm plant for the production of pet food was opened.

On the most beautiful road near Moscow, we drive up to the village of Orudyevo. On the road there is a PETKORM road sign, which leads us to a large bright building of the enterprise. We are met by Robert Imangulov, one of the co-owners of the plant, and, not without pride, conducts a tour of clean workshops, a spacious warehouse, and a modern office. In addition to questions, there is a feeling of great pride for those who were able to develop and implement such a large-scale project, for the fact that everything was done according to the highest class - the way it should be.

Robert Imangulov, co-founder of PetKorm LLC

The construction of the plant lasted two years, during which the owner of the production, PetKorm LLC, invested a total of almost 2 billion rubles in the construction of the building and its technical equipment.

The building is located on an area of ​​10,400 m 2 , it contains office and industrial premises and an ultra-modern warehouse. Currently, the plant employs 37 people, but when it enters full capacity, PetKorm will provide residents of nearby communities with more than 80 jobs. “Most of the employees are from Dmitrov,” says Robert. - We have organized transport for them, so that it is convenient for everyone to get to work. Of course, as elsewhere, it is not easy with personnel, but we are gradually coping with this issue.”

The PetKorm plant will produce wet canned food. Its current maximum capacity is 10,000 tons per year, or 200 cans per minute. Until mid-September, the plant operates in a test mode: recipes developed by qualified technologists are brought to perfection, production processes are being debugged. Russian and foreign specialists are working on setting up production.

Our conversation is joined by the chief production technologist Oleg Arustamov. His phone is bursting with calls, he gives instructions in Russian, then in English, and between calls he tells us that there are plenty of raw materials for the production of products in Russia, it is important to find the right balance in the recipes. Dog food will contain 5-7 ingredients. The choice is possible both in a single taste and in various flavor variations by types of meat (beef / veal), lamb, poultry (chicken, turkey, duck), game (rabbit, venison, partridge), with or without the addition of vegetables, fruits and grain products. The composition of cat food is more complex, they will contain up to 12 ingredients, enriched with vitamins and amino acids, biologically active substances. Customers will be able to choose a variety of flavor combinations. “Our plans for the near future are to meet the needs of specialized retailers. However, there will be enough capacity for a non-specialized channel. We assess our potential objectively - PetKorm will be able to provide 3% of the wet canned pet food market in Russia,” says Oleg Arustamov.

The main priority of PetKorma is the impeccable quality of products that meets the highest European standards. To look at this ultra-modern production, we put on a special uniform, go through a shoe wash and go to the holy of holies - to the production workshops. From the upper gallery we observe how the can sealing line is being adjusted, how containers for raw materials are washed, how the canned food palletizing machine lives its own life. And the most amazing thing is that there is no unpleasant smell in the meat production!

Robert Imangulov tells us that the European equipment from Denmark, Italy, Germany and Spain allows the plant to produce canned and wet food in any package: iron cans, lamisters, pouches, as well as any shape: these are pates, soufflés and mousses, pieces in sauce and jelly, meatballs, sausages and other forms. And very soon all this will hit the shelves of Russian pet stores.

The PetKorm plant will give priority to the production of private label feeds - about a hundred customers are already waiting for its full-fledged work to begin. The leaders also plan to develop and promote their own brands, the development of their design and formulation is almost completed. In the meantime, the final touches on the preparation of lines and already at the exhibition "ParkZoo" will discuss cooperation and learn more about the new Russian production of food for cats and dogs.

Properly selected feed for an animal is one of the most important elements of its growth, since it is in such segments that the amount of protein, carbohydrates, fats and other important microelements (vitamins, minerals) is balanced.

To date, zoo markets are sufficiently loaded with products for animals, both domestic and foreign. Dog and cat food is the world's best-selling pet product.

Pet food manufacturers

Products from Canada, France, USA, Great Britain, Russia, Spain, Italy are especially popular. It is worth noting that each feed manufacturer from these countries provides a guarantee of the quality of their product.

Professionals of the companies have developed special technologies for making feed, with the help of which your pet will develop gradually and correctly. A special pleasant and fragrant smell, unforgettable taste of products will not leave your pet indifferent.

The predominant components are: chicken fillet, boneless meat, salmon, which, in combination with vegetables and fruits, will fill the pet with the necessary dose of healthy protein. NOW Natural holistic, GO! Natural holistic, Royal Canin, Purina Pro Plan, Almo Nature, Applaws guarantee no hormones or offal.

Animal feed manufacturers in Russia

Mass production of dry and wet food in our country began at the end of the twentieth century by the Mealberry company from St. Petersburg.

Today, domestic giants for the production of these products are:

• AskorAgro Trade;
• VELKORM;
• Gatchina feed mill;
• "Delimit".

High quality food promotes healthy, balanced growth of your pet. There is an opportunity to pick up individual food, I focus on the taste preferences of the animal. All products undergo mandatory testing and analysis. Using quality products, your pets will always be full and satisfied.

Where to buy animal food in bulk from the manufacturer

In order for animals to develop properly, it is important to supply them with food in a timely manner. Therefore, sooner or later, every farmer who owns a certain farm will have to buy this component.

It is important to prepare a certain supply of feed in advance. You can buy pet food from a manufacturer in Russia in such companies as: Best Friend, NORDOG Group, ACANA, MAGNA.

Many leading manufacturers and suppliers of animal feed participate in the annual Prodexpo exhibition.

Today, many people have pets for themselves or their children. Of course, when purchasing a pet, a person takes responsibility for its maintenance. And for this you need to do it right. In order to choose the right food, it is important to know how and with what equipment the production of food for cats and dogs takes place.

Granular feed

In order to make such food, it is necessary to grind hay, straw or any other and then mix them according to the desired recipe with other additives that contain the necessary minerals, trace elements, bone or meat meal, etc. Production of food for cats and dogs - this is a profitable business that allows its owner to receive a stable income all year round, and the owners to maintain a correct and rich diet for the animal.

It is worth noting that, without knowing the theory, it will not work to make such food on your own, even with equipment, however, scientists have developed some complex recipes for production. For example, the technology for the production of food for cats and dogs in granules is carried out according to a strict recipe, after which the food is combined into granules. The dimensions of this product can be from a few millimeters to several centimeters. The choice of product sizes depends on what kind of pet lives with a person.

Release Technology

If we talk about the general technology, then the production of food for cats and dogs comes down to the following general points:

• the process of grinding grain crops;
• mixing with organic and mineral additives;
• heat treatment together with the humidification process;
• making granules or granulating;
• drying and cooling of the final product;

This is a concept diagram for the production of dry food for cats and dogs. This recipe is a general technology. The difference between all other recipes is only in the constituent parts of the feed base and its additives.

Stages of dog food production

If everything is clear with the general technology for obtaining this product, then the production itself begins.

• The first step is to mix all the necessary ingredients.
• The second step is adding hot water and mixing again.
• The third stage is the process of processing the feed with pressure and steam, as well as the passage of raw materials through die heads, which are engaged in the formation of granules of the required size.
• The fourth stage is the drying of the product.
• The fifth stage is spraying the granules with various fats, as well as flavor enhancers.
• The sixth and last stage is the packaging of the finished feed in packages.

This is how the process of producing food for cats and dogs is carried out.

Composition and demand

At present, the facts are that the demand for dog food is about half that of cat food. The main reason for this was that people most often cook food for these animals at home on their own. Usually these are cereals, soups, etc. However, this is an unbalanced food, from which dogs get sick very often or their hair can fall out. The composition of the food for these pets usually contains the following elements: ground grains of cereals, fish and meat types of additives, soybeans, milk powder, fat and other elements. This product is balanced and beneficial for the animal.

Dry food equipment

In order to be engaged in the manufacture of this product, it is necessary to have some apparatus. The list of necessary equipment for the production of food for dogs and cats includes such devices as:

• crusher;
• mixer;
• dispenser;
• extruder;
• feeders;
• packing unit.

This kit is suitable for the production process of dry food only. Naturally, the amount of product that can be produced, for example, per day of work, will directly depend on the power and productivity of the purchased units. If there is a need for the production of a granular product, then slightly different equipment will be needed for the production of food for cats and dogs;

• bunker for grain;
• bunker for additives;
• mill;
• mixer, loader;
• air conditioner (bunker with steamer and unloading auger);
• granulator;
• cooler.

It is also worth noting that the given sets are only standard and necessary devices. If there is a need or desire, several auxiliary devices can be added to them. For example, a silage or straw chopping plant can be purchased, or more dies can be added to be able to produce pellets in a wide variety of sizes.

lines

Lines for the production of food for cats and dogs differ in their technical parameters, as well as in productivity per hour. For example, a line with a capacity of 200 kg / h will allow its owner to produce animal feed that will be extruded, that is, cleaned of harmful microorganisms. The technical parameters of such a line are as follows:

1. The consumed electric power during the line operation is 92 kW.
2. The area that will be needed to accommodate all the equipment is 80 sq.m.
3. The number of people required to service all elements of the line is 5.

extruder

Before proceeding with the extrusion process, the raw materials must go through stages such as mixing and conditioning. It is worth paying attention to the fact that the conditioning process is one of the most important that must be performed. During this operation, the feed is first moistened, then heated with hot and dry steam under a pressure of 0.2 to 0.5 MPa, as well as a temperature of 110 to 130 degrees Celsius. After this process is completed, the raw material will become more plastic, which will improve the subsequent extrusion process. It is important to note that feed extruders are the latest technology that allows you to make a completely digestible and pure product from feed.

After the conditioning process has been completed, the raw material goes into the extruder hopper. Further, with the help of a feeder, the product is transferred to the working body. It should be noted that in the receiving hopper of this device, it is possible to add various components to the feed composition.

The extrusion process itself, which takes place in this equipment, consists of the following stages: heat treatment, moisture removal, sterilization, texturization, and granulation. Heat treatment in this unit takes place by supplying hot steam for 4-6 seconds, after which a pressure of 30 atmospheres affects the feed. The fact that the raw material is processed in just 6 seconds has the advantage of completely preserving the protein, as well as improving the availability of lysine from the feed. Feed extruders also add benefits such as improved palatability, improved digestibility. These two advantages allow you to increase the weight of the animal, spending less feed.

Line advantages

The line provides the following benefits:

1. Allows to carry out the process of production of food from completely natural ingredients.
2. It guarantees a larger surface, as well as an improvement in its porosity, which will allow the animal's gastric juice to better penetrate into the product.
3. The resulting raw material from the production line has a less coarse structure than after granulation, which avoids injury to the animal's esophagus when eating feed.
4. The resulting raw material is coarse-grained, which means it does not form dust that could stick to the pet's digestive or respiratory organs.
5. The granules received from the line are resistant to abrasion.
6. Stability and stability of the goods during its transportation.
7. Feed hygiene is higher.
8. The presence of an extrusion processing process improves the digestibility of the feed by about 30%.

Wet food

The production of wet food for dogs and cats is carried out in three stages.

The first stage is the freezing or cooling of by-products that are delivered for processing. During this process, with the help of knives or shredders, they are cut, obtaining meat pieces that catch the eye when you open the package.

The second important element in the production of this type of feed is the binder sauce. The preparation of this viscous liquid takes place according to a special recipe, which provides for the use of various thickeners, gels. They are necessary in order to create the necessary texture and consistency of the dish.

The last, third stage is sterilization. Since very little preservatives are added to this type of food, unlike dry food, this process is very important. After the container with the product has been filled, it is placed in a special thermal installation, which brings the temperature to a strictly defined level, thereby sterilizing the food.

High-quality feed contains all the trace elements necessary for the animal, which allow you to maintain the correct diet for pets all year round, and save money and time to a large extent.

The specifics of the production of animal feed

The formation of proper nutrition for a particular animal, first of all, depends on the anatomical features.

Three broad categories are known:

• herbivorous (eating food of plant origin);


• carnivorous (preferring to eat meat products as food);


• omnivorous (devouring both meat and vegetation).

Herbivores include: horses, sheep, cows, etc. The body of such pets is adapted to digest carbohydrates and other nutritional components contained in plants. The modern market offers this group of animals dry voluminous feed. As a rule, they are represented by hay, straw, branch forage and chaff.

Carnivores include: dogs, cats, foxes, wolves, weasels, minks and other predators. The body of carnivores feels the need for feed enriched with animal proteins.

The group of omnivores includes: bears, pigs. They are able to take food of both plant origin and meat.

Domestic animals are divided into farm animals and companion animals that need a special approach to catering.

In urban apartments, the most widespread is the maintenance of mammals and companion animals (dogs, cats). In rural areas, preference is given to large agricultural mammals (horses, sheep, cows, pigs).

Products for feeding companion animals are available in one of three types: dry, wet and canned.

Dry food is the most popular. On the market, it is presented in the widest range. The production of such products does not require large expenditures on raw materials. Such food does not need special packaging. Its safety can be ensured by polyethylene and paper bags.

The range of wet food is much wider. It is important to know that water will be an essential ingredient in this product. This food does not contain harmful preservatives and flavorings. It is enriched with beneficial vitamins and minerals.

Delicate canned mousse will be a wonderful food for puppies and kittens up to three months old. Such food can completely replace mother's milk and is fully consistent with fragile teeth.

Food for cats and dogs is divided into classes:

• higher;
• super premium;
• premium;
• economy

Animal feed factories

The main volumes of feed products for animals are located in most of the central regions of Russia. Most of the companies specialize in the production of compound feed, but the number of factories for the production of feed for cats and dogs is not inferior in number.

In the production of dry food for cats and dogs, one can distinguish the plant of CJSC Gatchinsky KKZ, located in the North-Western Federal District. Its activities started in 2006. Produced feeds have all the nutrients necessary for the body of a pet, which provide an active life for the pet.

In addition, they contain proteins of natural poultry meat, lamb, beef, fish, rabbit. One can note the excellent palatability of the feed produced by CJSC Gatchinsky KKZ.

The summer of 2013 allowed the CJSC Gatchinsky KKZ plant to expand its production capacity by launching a line for the production of canned food for cats and dogs in the Leningrad region. The main meat component of the canned product is laying hen and broiler chickens. The product contains at least 70% meat. In November 2014, the production of canned pâté for cats and dogs was launched.

VELKORM is a company engaged in the production and distribution of pet food under the trademarks ProBalance and PROKHVOST. It was founded relatively recently in 2009. The digestibility of all VELKORM products is at least 85%. The company has its representative offices in Russia and Belarus.

Mars Animal Feed Plant

Mars began its activities in 1934, taking care of the proper diet of pets. Among ready-made diets for cats, the Whiskas® brand takes the first place in terms of sales. It provides pet lovers with a balanced nutritional option, which is represented by a wide range of dry food and wet food, with a calculated ratio of beneficial trace elements. This helps cats and dogs stay in top shape at all times.

The Mars factory began operating in Russia in 1995 in the town of Stupino near Moscow. Today it occupies a leading position among a number of other manufacturers of food for cats and dogs. There are currently 9 Mars factories in Russia.

The source products are supplied by various farms, which ensure the nutritional value and environmental safety of raw materials.

Production of feed for farm animals

One of the types of successful business is the production of animal feed. The relevance of such production is substantiated by the active development of farming. Compound feed contains: product grain, various flour (grass, fish), chalk, salt and other additives for a balanced diet of animals.

Compound feed differs depending on the food purpose of the animal. It is this criterion that is the main one for the right choice. It is worth considering the age of the animals. For example, for fodder feed for birds and pigs, the presence of hulled barley is mandatory; it is not needed in mixtures for other animals.

Pet food production

Every year there is an increase in the demand for feed products for cats and dogs. Pet lovers rarely resort to saving money, so pet food production is a fairly profitable business.

For the manufacture of pet food, waste from the fish and meat industry or whole foods is used. The most demanded on the market is dry food, the production of which requires low costs.

Production of prepared and dry animal feed

The production of complete dry food is based on the mixing of several high quality ingredients. The initial step is to grind the ingredients to a coarse flour. After this procedure, two critical stages follow: mixing of raw materials with an increase in temperature and extrusion. For this, a dough mixer and an extruder are used. In terms of manufacturability, the process taking place in the extruder barrel is particularly complex. Then, a profiling form is used, which breaks down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars under the influence of high temperature and pressure. The last stage ensures the digestibility of products up to 95%.

Now the raw material goes through the conveyor to the dryer. This step evaporates the liquid from the feed, forming a dry consistency. Almost ready dry food is carefully processed with fats and oils, which fill the porous structure of the food. Until this stage, the product has no taste. Therefore, ahead of him is the process of aromatization, which will make him attractive to pets. After cooling, the finished product is given to the packaging process.

Animal feed production equipment

The equipment for a standard animal feed production workshop includes:

• crusher;


• flour mixer - an apparatus that mixes various raw ingredients;


• scales necessary to produce the weight of the raw material in the required proportions;


• container for mixing products;


• extruder - an apparatus for displacing feed material at a certain temperature and pressure;


• a furnace for heat treatment of the obtained products and removal of liquid from their composition;


• packaging machine for packaged finished products.

You can learn more about factories, companies, equipment and specifics of animal feed production at the annual Prodexpo exhibition.
