Pellet system of feeding is a modification of the mash system.
It includes steam-injection (moisture and heat) and mechanically pressing the mash into hard dry pellets or “artificial grains”, for easy feeding of the poultry birds with a ‘balanced meal’.

The following are advantages pellet meal has over mash in poultry farming:

1. Decreased feed wastage.

2. Reduced selective feeding.

3. Shorter feeding time, thereby conserving energy of the poultry birds.

4. Increased feed density.

5. Pellet feeds are already in a semi-digested form.

6. Low maintenance energy requirement for feeding & digestion

7. Destruction of deleterious feed-borne pathogens.

8. Feed dust & disease control.

9. Improved palatability.

10. Improved feed intake.

11. Each mouthful of pellet provides a well-balanced diet for poultry birds.

12. Improved bulk density & feed efficiency.

13. Increased weight gain & growth rate of the birds.

14. Improved feed conversion rate.

15. Improved overall poultry birds’ performance.

Research has shown that unless a good quality pellet is produced, little if any benefit will be derived from pelleting.

The hard truth is that it's not easy to make a good quality pellet.

Sir, what's used in the production of "pellet feed"

Have u also studied the effect of heat on feed ingredients?
