In this short guide we will explain, point by point, all the <strong>aspects to consider<\/strong> when <strong>considering the purchase of a seed roaster<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But why is the seed roasting stage so important? <strong>Properly roasted cereals<\/strong> are <strong>nutrient- and protein-rich foods<\/strong> that are <strong>tastier<\/strong> and <strong>more<\/strong> <strong>palatable<\/strong> for humans as well as animals. Healthier, more digestible and assimilable: feeding your herd with roasted grains will result in <strong>healthier<\/strong> <strong>animals<\/strong> and thus <strong>better<\/strong> <strong>quality<\/strong> <strong>meat<\/strong> that you can sell at a much higher market value.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But how to <strong>choose the right seed roaster<\/strong>? The <strong>Mecmar<\/strong> team tells you below. Follow us!<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">What is the size of your farm?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Depending on the <strong>production needs<\/strong> of your farm, Mecmar has designed a different model of seed roaster. So, in this <strong>first<\/strong> <strong>evaluation<\/strong> <strong>phase<\/strong>, we consider <strong>the quantity of<\/strong> <strong>grain<\/strong> <strong>to<\/strong> <strong>be<\/strong> <strong>roasted<\/strong> and <strong>the number of livestock to be fed daily<\/strong>. The calculation of the maximum amount of grain to be roasted depends on various factors, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Type of animal (mono gastric or poly gastric)<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Size and age of the animal<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Type of diet (lean or fattening)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Let us assume that we have to feed a <strong>herd of adult fattening cattle<\/strong>. Considering that an average bovine consumes approximately 1 kg\/soya per day, to maintain a herd of 500 animals, approximately 500 kg\/day of roasted soya mixed with other natural or extracted meals is required. This is the only way to ensure the <strong>correct<\/strong> <strong>balanceof<\/strong> <strong>proteins<\/strong>, <strong>vitamins<\/strong>, <strong>fats<\/strong> and <strong>minerals<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image image_resized image-style-align-center\" style=\"width: 68.23%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/old_news\/seed-roaster-1.PNG\" \/><\/figure>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">For what purpose do you toast your harvest?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Is the <strong>roasted<\/strong> <strong>product intended<\/strong> <strong>for<\/strong> <strong>human<\/strong> <strong>or<\/strong> <strong>animal<\/strong> <strong>consumption<\/strong>? In both cases, <strong>roasted<\/strong> <strong>grains<\/strong> such as wheat, maize, soya and barley play a key role in nutrition. Being <strong>rich<\/strong> <strong>in<\/strong> <strong>carbohydrates<\/strong>, <strong>proteins<\/strong> and <strong>essential<\/strong> <strong>amino<\/strong> <strong>acids<\/strong>, roasted grains have a relevant nutritional and energetic function. In addition to this, let us remember that a healthier and <strong>tastier<\/strong> <strong>food<\/strong> is more palatable to the animal, which, by eating plenty of it, will grow strong and healthy. Its <strong>commercial value<\/strong> will also benefit as a result.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image image_resized\" style=\"width: 67.39%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/old_news\/seed-roaster-2(1).PNG\" \/><\/figure>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">What type of animal do you need to feed?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Ruminants, pigs, poultry or other?<\/strong> Roasted grains obtained through the use of a seed roaster have excellent nutritional properties and a high protein level. Returning to the example of cattle, protein bypass can accelerate the digestibility of soya. In fact, roasting makes the roasted product more attackable by the animal&#8217;s gastric juices and therefore more digestible than grain that is only dried. By working so that all the <strong>grains<\/strong> are <strong>evenly<\/strong> <strong>roasted<\/strong>, Mecmar&#8217;s seed roasters <strong>eliminate<\/strong> any residual <strong>mould<\/strong>, thereby minimising the levels of harmful toxins from the grain itself.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image image_resized\" style=\"width: 67.69%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/old_news\/seed-roaster-3(1).PNG\" \/><\/figure>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Which energy source do you want to use to power your roaster?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Crucial to the economics and treatment of the grain is also the choice of <strong>fuel type used to produce the heat required for roasting<\/strong>. Mecmar roasting machines can be equipped with a <strong>gas, diesel or LPG burner<\/strong>: these represent the <strong>most<\/strong> <strong>traditional<\/strong> and <strong>still<\/strong> <strong>most<\/strong> <strong>popular<\/strong> fuel <strong>alternatives<\/strong>. If, on the other hand, you wish to roast your crop without using fuels, but using a <strong>sustainable<\/strong> and <strong>100%<\/strong> <strong>electric<\/strong> <strong>system<\/strong>, Mecmar has developed the solution for you: a <strong>plug&amp;play electric roaster<\/strong> to guarantee optimal roasting of small\/medium quantities of grain.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image image_resized\" style=\"width: 69.1%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/old_news\/seed-roaster-4(1).PNG\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>Would you like to <strong>know more about Mecmar <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mecmargroup.com\/en\/catalogo\/roasters-3\"><strong>grain roasters<\/strong><\/a>?
