An exclusive system to precisely influence the moisture profile in feed

Varying moisture profiles:
Moisture profiles of raw material
and final feed tend to vary
depending on the time of the year
and will even fluctuate overnight.
Trouw Nutrition Selko designed a
system to monitor and adjust
moisture levels within chosen
boundaries by the feed miller. The
Selko Moisture Management
System (MMS) regulates itself to
reach set moisture targets.
The MMS offers flexibility
• Stable moisture profile
throughout various feed
formulations
• Ability to adapt the dosage for
every feed formula according
to the needs of the feed mill

Key characteristics

The Selko-MMS enables in-line mixtures of the hydrating solution.

Moisture content is a major
factor of feed weight variation surfactants + organic water hydrating
between the originally acid mixture solution
purchased raw materials and
the finished products.
Adding a combination of surfactants and added
moisture is an effective method to enhance
moisture retention in finished feed.

RAW FINAL
MATERIAL PRODUCT

The products also act as a lubricant in the

pelletizer, leading to less friction in the die. This
results in less power consumption use and
higher throughput.

Overcoming the losses that occur

during the feed processing
(usually about 0.5 – 1% of the
initial raw material moisture
content) means protecting profit
for the producer.
The evenly distribution hydrating solution throughout the feed
material enhances the final feed quality without adverse effects in
shelf life or safety.
