How could I make my own feed? This is a recipe I found.
1. Crude Protein 20% or higher - What would I get this from? Soybeans?
2. Crude Fat 2%
3. Crude Fiber 12% at the most
4. Calcium 1.60 - 1.90 %
5. Phosphate .50% or higher
6. Salt .50 - .60%
7. Potassium 1% or higher
8. Zinc 650 PPM
9. Copper 125 PPM
10. Vit A 10,000 I.U / lbs
11. Vit E 20 I.U / lbs
What's something simple ingredient wise? Say I own a mill that can produce deer pellets, what do you need? Here is the image of deer pellet recipe.
Here is something else I found out of Kerrville
20% peanut hulls
20% corn meal
5% dehydrated alfalfa
2% meal ground milo
15% cottonseed meal
10% soybean meal (44 percent)
5% masonex
.5% mineral mix **
.5% vitamin/trace mineral premix

I was picturing something else when I read your title...

Not food, but I make mineral myself. 3 bags stock salt, 1 bag trace mineral, 1 bag dicalcium phosphate. Makes about 200# for $50.
I dump it on old stumps and they hit it prett good.

Are the savings that significant doing it yourself versus buying the antlermax or whatever protein you use?

I'm crunching numbers right now and can tell you it's significant. Especially when you throw tons of deer pellets a month. I believe that I could reduce the cost by nearly half.
I would buy a pellet machine at about 10k and roll with it. Only problem is the humid climate? I wonder about that aspect. Still, I figure 6 tons for about ~$2000

Pellet mills are VERY humididty dependent.
Also the mineral portion of the mix (salts) will create lots of corrosion and damage.
Really to make your pellet mill profitable you would need to run full time and have access to lareg volume (Multiple tractor loads), cheap, easily attainable and preferabally single item crude ingredients.

A controlled climate building would be essential.
Also, rice hulls would be very cost efficient ($5-20 a ton). I'm wondering about mixing molasses on the pellet and if it would help with minimizing the decomposing process when it rains?
ETA: 25 tons at around $8,000. The problem is storing all the bulk and mixing.
