1. An animal feed producing system comprising: at least one compression screw assembly having a plurality of screws, wherein each compression screw assembly includes at least a first screw and a second screw and a plurality of barrels; each of the plurality of screws includes a feed section, a plurality of middle sections, and a tip section;the compression screw assembly receives grains at the feed section;each of the plurality of screws includes a plurality of flights and a plurality of roots, wherein each of the plurality of screws is defined having a plurality of sections, each section includes a set of the plurality of flights and the plurality of roots configured to perform a predetermined compression selected from a group consisting of perpendicular compression and lateral compression;the plurality of screws rotates to create a positive displacement pump that enables the grains to move forward from the feed section, through the plurality of middle sections, to the tip section and allows the grains to be in constant contact with surfaces of the plurality of screws and barrels and simultaneously by a compression created due to a reduction of surface area between the plurality of flights and the plurality of roots which require minimum heat from external heat sources after a start-up period, wherein moisture present in the grains is trapped at a temperature which creates a lubrication property that enhances the grains ability to flow when passing through a reduced surface area between the plurality of flights and the plurality of roots;the plurality of screws is configured to create the perpendicular compression applied to the grains by forcing the grains through restrictive areas between the plurality of flights and the plurality of roots;the plurality of screws is configured to create the lateral compression by transferring the grains between successive sections having differing configurations;the plurality of screws is configured to create mechanical heat applied to the grains by compressing the grains between the restrictive areas of the plurality flights and the plurality of roots to convert the grains to a modulus statue;at least one of the plurality of flights and the plurality of roots includes sharp edges designed to effectively shear the grains into fine granules in response to rotation of the plurality of screws;at least one of the plurality of middle sections comprises a transition section including a backup region interdisposed between a more aggressive compression region and a less aggressive compression region;an angle of pitch of the plurality of flights, included in each of the more aggressive compression region and the less aggressive compression region, is configured such that the grains flow at a predetermined flow rate, and the angle of pitch is configured such that a predetermined amount of compression is applied as the grains move through the more aggressive compression region and the less aggressive compression region, respectively; andthe backup region backs up a flow of the grains causing lateral compression applied to the grains in the backup region;the at least one of the plurality of the middle sections being configured in a pattern to provide a plurality of alternating stages of compression and release, wherein: each of the alternating stages is configured having a plurality of subsections, wherein each subsection is configured having a different amount of compression applied on the grains as the grains move through each subsection and each subsection is configured having a different angle of pitch, wherein the plurality of subsections within at least one of the plurality of alternating stages comprises at least a first subsection, a second subsection, and a third subsection, wherein:the first subsection is configured having a most forward angle of pitch relative to roots of the screws, and the first subsection is configured having fewer flights than the second subsection and the third subsection of the plurality of alternating stages;a second subsection is configured having a flat pitch relative to the roots of the screws to back up flow of the grains as the grains move through the second subsection of the at least one of the plurality of alternating stages;a third subsection is configured having a least forward angle of pitch relative to the roots of the screws, and the third subsection is configured having more flights than the first subsection and the second subsection provided within the at least one of the plurality of alternating stages;wherein, as the grains move through the at least one of the plurality of alternating stages, the grains travel at a fastest rate of speed through the first subsection, the grains travel at a slowest rate of speed through the second subsection, and the grains travel at an intermediate rate of speed through the third subsection, wherein the intermediate rate of speed is slower than the fastest rate in the first subsection and faster than the slowest rate in the second subsection; andat least one screw rotating motor for rotating the plurality of screws, whereby the grains are passed through the plurality of screws to generate fine granules of dry grains in a linear rate. 2. The animal feed producing system of claim 1, wherein the dry grains are shaped to form a pellet. 3. The animal feed producing system of claim 1, wherein the dry grains are shaped to form a cube. 4. The animal feed producing system of claim 1, wherein the dry grains are shaped to form a tub.
