PDI of feed

[Ali M]

PDI (Pellet Durability Index) Test for Poultry Feed Pellets:

Equipment: Holmen Pellet Durability Tester, sieves (1.18 mm, 3.35 mm), balance.

Steps:

1. Prepare 100g pellet sample.

2. Pre-sieve (3.35 mm).

3. Tumble in tester (10 min, 50 rpm).

4. Post-sieve (1.18 mm).

5. Weigh fines and remaining pellets.

Calculate PDI: (Weight of remaining pellets / Initial weight) x 100

Target: PDI ≥ 80% for satisfactory durability.

I think minimum 93.00% to maximum 96.00% is best.

Firstly take 100 gm of pellets feed, run it in revolving box for at
least 3minutes and then sieve through 25 mesh, reweigh , retention
weight should be above 93

Yeah good

Pellet quality is usually expressed as the Pellet Durability Index(PDI) and measured by using a tumbling can device, in which the pellet sample to be tested is first sieved to remove fines, then tumbled in the tumbling can devise for a defined period of time.
