Feed pelletizing
Welcome to the page about Feed pelletizing of Engormix; a source of knowledge on Feed pelletizing.
To produce pellets or extruded feeds of acceptable quality the particle size of the ground materials must be correct. Finer grinding will result in a better-quality pellet or extruded feed, increases the capacity of the pellet mill or extruder, and reduces wear of the pellet mill or extruder working parts such as dies, rollers, and worms. Because animal needs vary considerably, the degree of processing for various diets also must be different. Ruminant animals such as cattle and sheep have...

Particle Size
Optimum particle size for best pelleting results has been a matter of controversy for almost as long as feeds have been pelleted. Young (1960) found no significant differences in pellet durability when he experimented with feed rations containing 40, 60, and 70 percent ground corn or grain sorghum when the grain portions were ground coarse, medium, and fine.
Martin (1984) compared pelleting efficiencies and durabilities using a hammermill and a roller mill to...

Introduction The global aquaculture production of food fish has increased tremendously over the last decade, reaching 62.7 million metric tonnes in 2011 or about 40.1% of world total fish production [1]. Asian seabass ( Lates calcarifer ) or barramundi is an important aquaculture species native to the Indo-West Pacific region [2] with increasing production currently estimated at 67,000 tonnes [3]. In collaboration with the Marine Aquaculture Centre of Agri-Food and...

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...

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. ...

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...
