Pellet Quality and Nutrient Segregation on the Farm

Mr Jonathan Adding cane molasses in poultry feed has limited usage ie up to 1 to 2 % only in layer feed and not recommended in broiler feed Therefore use of bentonite @1% can be used as Pellet binder and it is also an toxin binder Follow my request and implement and revert please Regards Dr chandra

Mr Dan Hofer U being poultry farmer may not be producing pelleted feed ur self Lot of factors are involved to have better quality quality pellets 1- proper preconditioning time around 2 minutes which will ensure proper gelatinisation 2-Iclusion of pellet binder 3- proper cooling of pellets 4 proper storage of pellets in silo bins or bags 5- Avoid any atmospheric moisture during storage as pellets are hygroscopic in nature As the pellet passes thru so many channels from cooling to transport to loading to unloading to finally feeding to birds , it has to strong enough to sustain so that it doesn’t break into powder Pl note that pellets are always better than mash Regards

Dear Sir, From the result of your studies, what is your recommendation on the length and thickness of the pelleted feed for optimal performance taken into consideration the size of the gullet of the broiler chicken at growing stage? Does your studies limited to only broilers at the finishing age? Thank you sir.

2 mm crumb for pre starter 2.5 mm crumb for starter or 3 mm pellet 3 mm pellet for finisher Proper conditoning of 90 sec Standard parameter for ME, protien Avl P , lysine , methionine M+C Get 2000 g in 35 days With FCR of 1.45— 1.5 Regards

We provide a kind of cost-efficient pellet binder. Write to us for more info.

Thanks Dr Chandra. In my view size of pellet between 2 mm 2.5 mm is so narrow that it can be avoided to save on cost of production and extra inventory of pellet mill die.
