Growth of the modern broiler is very adaptable to a vast range of diet nutrient densities, and so formulation matrices are greatly impacted by prevailing economic situations. The broiler still eats quite precisely to its energy needs and alters its feed intake in response to variable diet energy level. For example, 25-35d broilers can be fed diets a low as 2850 kcal/kg or as high as 3500 kcal/kg as seen in some locations, and growth rate is little impacted if the bird can adjust its feed...

Advantages of Pelletized Feed over Mash Feed 1. Reduced Feed Wastage Pellets are compact and less dusty, so birds or animals waste less feed compared to mash, which is easily scattered. 2. Better Feed Intake Animals often prefer pellets, leading to improved and more consistent feed consumption. 3. Improved Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) Pellet feeding usually results in better weight gain per unit of feed consumed. 4. Uniform Nutrient Intake In mash feed,...

1. Introduction Reducing the particle size of cereal grains increases the digestibility of starch and energy by pigs (Huang et al., 2015; Rojas and Stein, 2015; Lee et al., 2024) and it is likely that surface area of grain particles and interactions between particles and digestive enzymes are increased by reducing particle sizes. In contrast to the demonstrated improvement in the digestibility of starch and energy, effects of particle size reduction on digestibility of amino...

The demand for "Golden September and Silver October" fell below expectations. In September, the market exhibited signs of a significant recovery, with tentative rebounds. However, in October, the overall market trend shifted from strength to weakness, entering a phase of volatility. The factors driving price increases from the supply side are gradually diminishing. Categories that were previously strong have experienced compensatory declines as the market moved from divergence to consensus,...

In the world of animal feed manufacturing, some parameters shout: protein levels, energy values, additive profiles. Others whisper, quietly shaping performance from behind the scenes. Particle size is one of those silent drivers. And yet, for monogastric species like pigs and poultry, it can be the difference between optimal feed conversion and costly inefficiencies. I’ve spent over three decades in feed process technology, and if there’s one...

INTRODUCTION TO PELLETING The Purpose of Pelleting Pelleted feeds have been defined as “agglomerated feeds formed by extruding individual ingredients or mixtures by compacting and forcing through die openings by any mechanical process”. Basically, the purpose of pelleting is to take a finely divided, sometimes dusty, unpalatable and difficult-to-handle feed material and, by using heat, moisture and pressure, form it into...

I. INTRODUCTION Whole grain feeding (WGF) involves the partial substitution of ground grain with whole grain in boiler diets. Whole grain (WG), usually wheat, may be added either prior to (prepellet) or following (post-pellet) steam-pelleting. WGF generates heavier and presumably more functional gizzards, which are thought to be the genesis of responses in feed conversion ratios (FCR) and energy utilisation (Liu et al., 2015). However, post-pellet WGF also provides broilers with the...

Among the many quality criteria in animal feed production, pellet durability is often cited as one of the most critical. And rightly so: fragile pellets tend to generate too much dust and fines, which can impact feed intake, zootechnical performance, and even trigger complaints from farmers. It’s no surprise, then, to see a growing number of posts, articles, and expert opinions stressing the importance of durability and how to improve it. But behind this apparent consensus...
