The feed mill at AU Viborg – Foulum Research Centre was established in 2018 and produces feed daily for a wide range of research trials.
The facility is a flexible, small-scale feed production plant with a capacity ranging from 2 to 2,000 kg per batch.
It offers multiple processing methods, including hammer and disc milling, rolling, mixing, pelleting in various diameters, extrusion, and steam-heat treatment.
The facility also supports the mixing of feed rations with a high fat content.
The feed mill supports research in areas such as feeding, health, animal welfare, and feed economics for pigs, poultry, cattle, and horses.
The facility differs from conventional feed mills through its advanced technology and ability to produce feed with varying textures, pellet sizes, and compositions – in both small and large quantities.
Its flexibility makes it a central component of research activities at AU Viborg.
