How to Improve the Quality of Chicken Feed Pellets?

The quality of feed is an important material to provide the nutrition required for the growth of chicks, chicken and laying hens, and the quality of feed has a direct impact on the breeding efficiency. In addition to the quality of raw materials and nutritional design, different forms of feed also have a significant impact on the production performance of chickens.

In terms of poultry feed, there are generally two different forms of mash feed and pellet feed, of which the pellet feed due to the special nature of its processing process, the feeding effect on the production performance of birds is better than powdered feed.

The Advantages of Chicken Pellet Feed in the Feeding Process

In view of the characteristics of the pellet material production processing, so the feeding process compared to powdered feed, granular material has many advantages. 

• More balanced nutrition

As the particle size of pellets is more regular, avoiding the natural grading phenomenon during the transportation of finished products; at the same time, the feeding process greatly reduces the situation of unbalanced nutrition caused by the chickens’ picky eating.

• High utilization rate of feed

Powdered feed in the feeding, the chickens in the feeding generally eat pelleted feed first, and the powdered feed left, resulting in a certain waste, while the powder rate of pellets is small, greatly improving the utilization of feed, reducing feeding losses.

• Improve the palatability and digestibility of feed

Pellets in the processing process after 70 ~ 85 ℃ high temperature modulation, the material is fully cooked, greatly improving the palatability of the feed and feed digestibility.

• Improve the safety of feed

The high temperature steam pressure in the granulation process can kill the harmful microorganisms in the material, which has a good effect of disinfection, sterilization and insecticide, greatly improving the safety of the feed.

• Reduce the loss of trace elements and dust

The lower powder content effectively reduces the loss of trace elements caused by uneven feeding of powdered feeds, and reduces the dust in the transportation and feeding of feeds, which helps to maintain a good breeding environment.

How to Make High Quality Chicken Feed Pellets?

Many factors are needed to produce high quality chicken feed pellets, such as the formula of feed, the choice of feed pellet mill, and the technical level of production personnel. Combining these factors, how to choose a reliable feed pellet machine manufacturer and supplier to produce high quality feed pellets?

• Chicken feed recipe and storage
