Abstract:
A process for obtaining extruded animal feed including fibers, especially sugar cane and corn straws, applied in the agricultural and cattle-raising field for the nutrition of ruminants, contributing for higher productive performance (meat or milk) than conventional animal feeds, making use of the non-used sources of fibers for that purpose, with extruded characteristics, as well as for equines, wherein the process follows exactly the same procedure as shown by the patent application, but without the mixture of urea and additives.

Claim (Index 1):
A process to obtain extruded animal feed including fibers, characterized by comprising the following steps:\n treating a harvested straw with an application of an antifungal having as active ingredient ammonium dipropionate in a bundling process, with a dosage of 0.5 liters/ton of straw; pre-milling the harvested straw by chopping in a rotating drum into 5-10 cm particles; milling sugar cane and/or corn straw in a chopping mill into particles which are lower than 6 mm; dosing on scales corn and/or sorghum, 40-70% by weight; soy bran and/or sunflower bran and/or cotton bran, 1-4% by weight; and pre-chopped sugar cane straw and/or corn straw, 15-50% by weight; weighing to control, by the pre-set weight, the quantity of each product; mixing of the corn and/or sorghum; soy bran and/or sunflower bran and/or cotton bran; sugar cane straw or corn straw, in a horizontal helical 3-stage mixer, into which urea for cattle-raising, 0.01-3% by weight, and potassium chloride for cattle-raising, limestone, calcium sulfate, dicalcium phosphate, potassium, monensin, virginiamycin, yeast, white salt, molasses, powdered milk and ready formulations under the ratio of 0.2-6% by weight, and the mixing process subsequently starts for a pre-set time of 1-5 minutes, depending on the formulation, wherein, in the case of animal feed for equines, urea and additives are not included in the mixture; milling in a hammer mill, with a 1.5-2.0 mm screen; extruding determining grain size by means of the following 6 mm diameter, 8 mm diameter and 10 mm diameter matrixes; drying by using a steam (vertical or horizontal) drier; and cooling in a (vertical or horizontal) cooler with cold air jets.
