Introduction During the feed pelleting process conditioned feed mash is passing through the pellet press die where animal feed pellets are formed by rheological properties of the mash and different mechanical forces applied on that mash. Different sized animals eat different sized feed, therefore cutting, thus uniformity of feed pellets is essential procedure for feed producers. In the end...

I. INTRODUCTION Currently, the majority of feed used in the production of broilers is fed in pelleted or crumbled form. One of the major issues in the manufacture of pellets is the application of high conditioning temperatures. The need to reduce potential levels of feed-borne pathogens such as salmonella and campylobacter for feed safety and to achieve high pellet quality has led to the application of relatively high (between 80 and 90 ºC) conditioning temperatures during...

I. INTRODUCTION Poultry feed is routinely pelleted for many reasons such as increased feed intake, feed efficiency, and feed hygiene (Abdollahi et al., 2013). However, pelleting is not without its drawbacks, particularly when using higher pelleting temperatures (Abdollahi et al., 2010). The industry has been trending towards ever higher conditioning temperatures due, at least in part, to efforts to improve feed hygiene and thus decrease reliance on in-feed antibiotics for prevention...

DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM A principal goal of nutritionists is to provide birds with a balanced diet that maximizes production at the least cost. Meat bird performance is maximized when feeding pelleted diets (Patton et al., 1937; Hussar and Robblee, 1962; Jensen et al., 1962). However, the nutritional value of feed presented to birds in feed pans throughout the house may not align with diet formulation due to mixer uniformity, feed line length, pellet degradation, and subsequent...
