Improving pellet quality: The key factors

Feed pelleting has changed considerably, due to the demand for higher standards of physical quality, nutritional value and microbiological hygiene, as well as greater flexibility in the incorporation of new and varied raw materials. Pelleting improves the characteristics feed, as it increases the digestibility of starches and nutrient absorption, hence improving the feed conversion ratio and production index of the farm. By subjecting starches to heat and moisture, water absorption takes place
