Use of microtracers in testing for homogeneity of mixing of mixture component in the manufacture of compound feed products

Abstract

This article is about solving the problem of estimating the quality of mixing of feed mixtures by adding indicator particles - microtracers; The main focus of the work is on the methodology for determining the quality of feed mixes using microtracers, which is illustrated by the results of a survey of feed mixtures by one of the manufacturers of pet food. Keywords: feed mixtures, compound feeds, mixing quality, mixture homogeneity criterion, indicators, microtracers.
