<h2>Executive Summary</h2><p>Italy ranks fourth among EU compound feed manufacturers, producing roughly 15.2 million tonnes in 2024, dairy cattle rations at approximately 2.8 million tonnes. Emilia-Romagna—home to the Parmigiano-Reggiano PDO zone—is among the world’s most quality-sensitive feed clusters. Milk for this cheese must meet thresholds codified within the Disciplinare di Produzione: fermented feedstuffs face strict restrictions, silage is prohibited, and fifty percent of dietary dry substance must derive from local forage.</p><p>Within this framework, pellet mill reliability becomes an operational imperative. A press component whose helical grooving erodes unevenly, generates surplus heating, or fractures prematurely disrupts more than throughput—it undermines pellet sturdiness, a variable governing dry matter intake in high-yielding Holsteins, modulating ruminal fermentation stability, and shifting milk fat and casein percentages. This article examines how a cooperative in Reggio Emilia province improved pelleting line stability, extended replacement intervals, and narrowed physical quality variance by adopting compression cylinders from Liyang Hongyang Feed Machinery Co., Ltd.</p>
