Why is medicated feed antibiotic powder difficult to package accurately?

Medicated feed antibiotic powder is often cohesive and compressible. It can trap air, create inconsistent head pressure in the hopper, and generate airborne fines during handling. These characteristics affect auger dosing stability and seal consistency if the system is not engineered around the product’s flow behavior.

Understanding bulk density, compressibility, and dust characteristics early in the project reduces trial-and-error later.
