Effect of Glycerol on Pellet Mill Production Efficiency

It's a good article about the effect of Glycerol on Pellet Mill Production. The cost factor need be looked into i.e 6% gycerol price. The second thing is the pelletability of broiler feed need to looked into, if it has to be incorporated in the broiler feed. whether addition of 6% glycerol reduces the powder% in broiler pellets. The results so obtained in broiler commercial feed will be of technocommercial importance. Pl look into it and let me know the outcome???

The article seems to be interesting. But whether glycerol has been tried in cattle feed? One should look into the price of glycerol inclusion either at 3% or 6% and technocommercial feasibility of inclusion of glycerol. The article has not specified on dust part in feed on use of crude glycerol.

I have read about glycerol as low-priced being a buy product of canola processed to biodiesel or cooking oil. If this will be added to livestock feeds (swine & poultry) then it will be strategically advantageous considering that corn and soybean production was affected by climate change. Specifically, glycerol from the North America will surely improve the bottom line of companies trading this product.

Should look into the price of glycerol inclusion either at 3-6 % glycerol. The article has not specified how many % added to swine feed and poultry feed and how many % dust can improved in feed use of crude glycerol.

Great article. In addition to cost considerations, also consider factors that affect the stability of the emulsion is the type of emulsifier, emulsifier concentration, droplet size, pH, viscosity, stabilizers, heating, cooling, as well as the lecithin oil known as micelles. The micelle structure of the lecithin emulsifier is part of what makes it work well.
