Abstract

This study describes the construction and presents the results of trials of a drying unit with infrared radiation and forced ventilation which enables preparation of dehydrated feed for long-term storage while preserving nutritional properties. The currently used methods of preparing feed for long-term storage have one significant drawback when stored for a long time, the nutritional value of feed is reduced by about 50%. It is known that conservative drying of feed can prevent this process. This study contains the results of trials of an infrared drying unit with forced ventilation which is used for the preparation of feed for long-term storage under the condition of maintaining basic nutritional properties. This is especially important for small farms as the proposed drying unit is able to reduce energy costs for preparing feed for storage significantly and consequently, to reduce the product unit cost. It has been experimentally established that the application of an infrared drying unit with forced ventilation as part of the technological process of preparing feed for farm livestock enables long-term storage of feed while maintaining basic nutritional properties.
