1. Introduction The pelleting operation is one of the most expensive processes with regards to the fixed and variable costs. For this reason, efficient pellet production is aimed and pellet press should deliver a high yield of dust-free and resistant pellets to optimize the feed mill operations. Besides the types of ingredients,...

Integrators usually operate the mills at full capacity and outputs rather than trying to obtain the optimum pellet quality. The advantages of feeding a pelleted feed over mash have been documented in the industry for many years. The advantages include the following: Increased bulk density Less bridging/hang-up in bins Less dust Reduced ingredient segregation Less feed...

WILMINGTON, Del – DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences announced today the launch of the industry-leading novel phytase enzyme, Axtra® PHY GOLD. The enzyme offers superior performance compared to other phytases on the market, delivering greater feed cost savings to producers. Axtra® PHY GOLD will be available in the United States, Mexico and India and eventually worldwide, pending regulatory authorizations.
Recent scientific studies demonstrate that Axtra® PHY...

Introduction Pelleting is a feed processing method shown to improve handling and transportation characteristics of feeds, while reducing ingredient segregation during handling, decreasing dust levels, and improving feed utilization in swine. The use of flat die technology (cold pelleting) has received little attention at this point compared to thermal pelleting for commercial feed applications. Its unique advantage of layout (flat-bed compared to standard ring die) requires only...

1. Introduction Pelleting is the most used thermal processing method in poultry industry. The aim of pelleting processing is to agglomerate ingredients particles by mechanical action, in combination with moisture, pressure and temperature. Broilers fed pelleted diets present greater feed intake, better feed conversion ratio and greater weight gain [1-3]. The positive effect of pelleting on broiler performance is partly due to improved nutrients digestibility [4], increased feed...

1. Introduction Sorghum has been described as an enigmatic grain for chicken meat production because sorghum-based broiler diets have been associated with sub-optimal performance of chickens under Australian conditions (Selle et al., 2013). Six red 'tannin-free' grain sorghum varieties harvested on the Liverpool Plains of New South Wales in 2009 were extensively characterised and compared in broilers offered sorghum-casein diets (Khoddami et al., submitted for publication). On...

Because of its high density, large capacity and good palatability, the feed pellet machine is very popular among farmers and feed processing manufacturers. The production volume and mechanical performance of the pellet machine are closely related to the production efficiency. In actual operation, many farmers use pellets because of low production, high wear and tear, and frequent replacement of parts. In terms of factors that restrict the yield of pellets, please explain: 1. If the machine...

Introduction The efficient use of feed is extremely important in broiler production. Investigations have to be continued to decrease cost of broiler production and improve broiler performance. Pellet feed has been shown to have the greatest potential to improve feed conversion ratio (FCR) and reduce cost compared to mash feed (Maiorka et al. 2005, Salari et al. 2006, Amerah et al. 2008). These improvements have been associated with changes in nutrients, digestibility and less...

Conditioning is a process of hydrothermal treatment of powdery materials before pelleting of pellet feed. Domestic and foreign studies show that conditioning is one of the important factors affecting the quality of pellet feed, and it accounts for about 20% in the overall quality of pellet feed.
