Pelleting offers solutions for new challenges in meat production

A significant amount of feed fed to animals throughout the world undergoes some type of thermal processing. Swine research studies clearly indicate that pelleted feed improves animal performance. Thermal processing traditionally been used with pelleting, expansion, and extrusion. Traditionally, heat treatment has occurred prior to pelleting, but there is new thermal processing and cooling technology that can heat treat feed to be fed as mash diets. However, most feed mills continue to use the p
