Welcome to the page about Feed pelletizing of Engormix; a source of knowledge on Feed pelletizing.
Feed is too expensive to waste, so pellet quality has an economic value. There are a number of excellent methods to objectively measure and record the quality of pellets during the manufacturing process. This is the first step toward correcting destructive conditions and improving quality. Compound feed quality should be assessed by at least four different groups of characteristics: physiological characteristics, hygiene standards, environmental compatibility and technical...
Pelleting has been, and continues to be, a popular processing technique in feed manufacturing. In basic terms, pelleting converts a finely ground blend of ingredients into dense, free flowing agglomerates (pellets). There are many reasons used to justify the process, but it may be appropriate to list just a few: - improved animal performance, - decreased feed wastage, - reduced selective feeding, - improved bulk density, - better material handling...
Good day. Sticking exclusively to the processing/treatment, I would like to specify some aspects to improve the use of fiber in pigs: - It is important to quantify the particle size of the most relevant grains, such as grasses: maize, sorghum and legumes: Soy, for example. The studies conclude that particles of maize grain and GF sorghum with respect to grains> 1,000 μm. In the case of Soy, it has been shown that between 600 and 700 μm is the recommended range in most diets for...
Introduction Feed pelleting can be defined as conversion of finely ground mash feed into dense, free flowing pellets or capsules, in a process involves steam injection (moisture & heat) and mechanical pressure. There are several advantages for feeding broilers on pelleted rather than mash feed. The main advantage is the improved bird performance (improved feed intake, weight gain and...
Adding the proper amount of liquid raw material into the feed has become a convenient, flexible and effective way, which has been widely used in feed manufacturer. Through adding liquid, it can not only improve the feed’s energy level, but also can ensure the active ingredient in feeds to get fully utilized. Moreover, it can also improve the pellet feeds’ appearance quality and palatability in a large extent. Therefore, animals’ feed intake can...
What can we do to keep feed from being contaminated by Salmonella, increase the laying rate of hens, improve the quality of eggs, and produce raw eggs without causing foodborne Salmonella infection in humans? Only starting from the food source, speeding up the upgrading of feed processing equipment, eliminating Salmonella to the greatest extent, reducing the cost from the source and improving the egg quality. ...
Hao Yun, President of ZhengChang Group, talks about the trajectory of Zheng Chang Group from China. Zhengchang, established in 1918, has made constant innovations in feed machinery industry and accumulated a wealth of experience in tackling the various challenges facing feed companies and, more importantly, is able to offer a range of comprehensive solutions. Zhengchang has now evolved into China’s largest manufacture of feed machinery...
The beneficial effects of pelleted feed on digestibility of nutrients may arise from their influence on intestinal morphology, but the published data on this aspect are so scanty. The only available research (Amerah et al., 2007b) related to this line of research was focused on starter broilers (0-21 d), not growers (22-42 d). Villi and crypts are the functional units of the small intestine, assuming the role of digestion and absorption. ...
Hao Yun, President for ZhengChang Group, talk to us about the production of dies for pellet mill. With high-quality materials, ZhengChang produces more than 4000 pellet dies each year. Recently, ZhengChang has updated production equipment to machine pellet dies more efficiently.......
Introduction Starch is stored in plants as granules. The starch granule is a structure composed by crystalline and amorphous regions and, due to the lower order of cristallinity, the gelatinization occurs first in the amorphous region than in the crystalline region (Lund & Lorenz, 1984). When the starch granule is submitted to heat, moisture, and shear force during feed expansion and or conditioning a phenomenon...

In the feed manufacturing industry, particle size reduction (grinding) is second only to extrusion processes (pelleting, expanders, extruders) in terms of total energy consumption. To achieve a finer grind (smaller finished particle size), energy and maintenance costs increase and, everything else being equal, the capacity of the grinding system will be reduced. ...
