Dear John I wish you are ok,
Could you send me your pellet Quality production details?
Best regards.
Dear John,
Thanks for your video on pellet quality and segregation of nutrient. I am not very clear as what u would like to suggest pellet feed millers
Can u please elaborate in the form of text about your findings on performance of broiler diet on your research, please?
Regards,
Dr. Chandra.
I know that pellet quality has a lot to do with nutrient availability, and of course, shelflife.
Can John please explain his topic implication and then his result?
John Boney, I have more appreciation of your research now. It is worthwhile.
Can you be specific on the pellet qualities, qualitatively and quantitatively, that gave you good and improved results.
Thanks.
Adam Fahrenholz - That is a point that doesn't get enough attention. Some ways to improve pellet quality can damage nutrients. Reza Abudollahi at Massey has done a lot to explore this aspect. Unfortunately I don't see that his work gets much attention stateside.
A durable pellet at too large a cost in terms of nutrient availability doesn't pay for iteslf.
CHOI, YOUNGSOO Do you have any ideas what a segregation pipe would look like or if there is a source?
Thanks, Mike.
Pellet quality is very important, the gelatinization of all nutrients is vital since the separation of pellet before hitting the gut of any animal, especially poultry -be reminded the power of the gizzard: it is a great crusher plus the gain weights are crucial for farmers. The pellet needs to be intact but for ruminants-, goats, sheep. Too hard a pellet can cause choking, especially for lambs.
The key is to ensure there is a balance of durability, to get through the rigors of transporting to farm and the various augers leaving the processing plant.
As a farmer i see there is definitely separation of feed in the bin and in the flex augers. I would like to hear more on devices that can be installed in the bins to prevent this problem.
Anybody have suggestions on what a segregation looks like? Especially in the layer industry where large particle is added.
Kindly add pellet binder like bentonite @1% in the mixer and also 1 litre of geltin to make pellet slightly harder which will reduce powder % and segregation will reduce.
Regard.
Pelleting farm animal feed reduces feed wastage and make all the feed ingredients consumed as compounded but this may be expensive in some parts of Africa or even cause increase in cost of production.

I do concede your apprehension that the prevailing inflated cost of raw materials while computing ration to poultry does not permit due room to accomodate additional cost through pelletisation.
My recommendation is to go in incorporating unconventional items containing some toxic factors judicially as a measure on controlling cost and get those feed to undergo pelletisation under exposure to steam to enhance digestibility apart from reducing the I'll effect of antinutritional factors inherited by some ingredients being used at your end. The aftermath of these findings would certainly arrive to your satisfactory level.
In my idea, pelleting has four benefits. In brief:
1. Improvement of bioavailability
2. Change in pick of feed and Improvment of FCR, BWG, FI.
3. Energy saving
4. Reducing pathogenic factors
Dear Mr Mohsin
I fully endorse your observation about pelleted performance over mash.
Regards
Dr Chandra
