Advantages of pelleting for Chicken Feed Ingredients

There are several advantages of feeding poultry with pellets rather than mash.

• Pelleting reduces waste of chicken feed, water soiling, and selective eating behaviour in chickens
• Reduces bulkiness of feed by 15 – 18%
• Reduces Salmonella, E. coli, molds and more, and destroys growth inhibitors, like trypsin inhibitors and gossypol during processing
• The pelleting process solves mixing difficulties, incorrect particle sizes, and ingredient separation
• Results in the saving of 15-20% of broiler chicken feed cost
• Produces a higher nutrient density, increases the availability of Vitamin E and B12, and improves digestibility and ME value of certain ingredients, thereby increasing animal performance while creating superior feed efficiency
