Dear Intan
Right you are one can get better uniformity of particle size with roller mill and having proper number of groves in one inch on roller produce best particles. Current day rations are Corn Soya based if Soya is flaked it's good. Particle size in mesh feed is of great importance as Dr Perter Ferket mention the percentages of course particle.
PDI index is that's why important particularly in corn Soya feed as both have low PDI

What is the optimum particle size of corn grain for production of pelleted feed of 3mm and 4.5mm pellet size?
And also for mesh feeding to broilers 3 weeks plus age?
