Modern changes in the production process and storage of feed components are mainly focused on:
■ automation of measurements and implementation of integrated systems, ensuring full, systematic control of component storage
■ automation of silo filling<\/div>

■ increasing the number and modernizing maintenance activities accompanying storage, which extend the shelf life of stored components
■ expanding the range of services provided by warehouses through the introduction of complementary technologies
■ reducing silo capacity, as a derivative of the increase in the variety of produced assortments and the resulting tendency to produce a larger number of small production batches.<\/div>

Characteristics of feed components<\/strong>
Feed components are usually divided into plant and animal-based. Plant-based components include: cereals and bran, cereal and post-extraction meals from oilseeds, dried grass and root crops, sunflower seeds, beet pulp, cereal flour, premixes and mineral raw materials, and among liquids – molasses. Feed raw materials of animal origin include: meals (fish, meat, bone), skimmed milk powder, and liquid concentrated whey. The mentioned components are stored in natural or processed form, loose (liquid) or agglomerated, most often as bulk cargo, sometimes in bagged form. In European Union countries, feed components most often take an agglomerated form (granules, briquettes, wafers, cubes, blocks). Feed agglomerates have a significant advantage over loose ones due to the slower oxidation processes of feed ingredients, and thus a lower tendency to self-heating, less dusting, caking, and bridging. Of the mentioned advantages, the slower oxidation process is particularly important, favoring the extension of storage time for mixtures while maintaining high nutritional value. The share of agglomerated components in Poland constitutes a minimal percentage of the total amount of produced feed.
