What is Coarse Ration?
A coarse ration, or coarse mix, can combine straight raw
materials, pellets and Micronized flakes to create a muesli like
product which is both visually appealing and high in nutritional
content. There are many grades of coarse mixtures, from a simple
blend, to fully processed rations that include the addition of
liquids and minerals in a controlled batch process and mixing
plant. Coarse rations are common in the pedigree agricultural
markets, Equine and in the small pet industry.
Benefits of the Products
Coarse rations combine all the benefits of pellet and Micronized
feeds with additional unprocessed ingredients such as alfalfa.
Together these can be combined to create a feed that draws unique
benefits for each of its ingredients which are not damaged or
destroyed by the coarse mix production processes. The finished
feeds are aesthetically pleasing and palatable and often command a
higher retail value than simple straight or pelleted feeds.
Our Unique Process
Our Masham site contains a state-of-the art coarse mix plant
capable of blending straight raw materials, pellets, Micronized
flakes, liquids and micro-additions together into finished diets.
The entire process is computer controlled ensuring precision
addition of each ingredient followed by a control mixing process
designed to ensure and even and consistent finished blend. Products
can be delivered in bulk, I.B.C tote bags or paper or plastic sacks
of varying size labelled and palletised on our fully automated
robotic packing line to ensure perfect presentation.
With all the ingredients onsite, MMF offer a fully outsourced
production service for coarse rations allowing you to offer premium
grade products in your own brand with investment in plant and
technology. Even if you do have internal capability, it may be more
cost effective to have us produce the finished feed and
transport to you rather than bringing the ingredients in from
multiple sources.
