-
Pelleting increases the nutrient density of the feed, improves digestibility, and increases the availability of vitamins E and B12.
-
Pelleting can increase palatability by masking unpleasant ingredient tastes and reducing ingredient sorting.
-
Pelleting can reduce formulation costs by allowing for the inclusion of alternative ingredients. It can also save 15–20% on broiler chicken feed costs.
However, pelleting can also have some negative effects, such as reducing the content of vitamins A, E, and K, or destroying these nutrients. It can also increase the incidence of ulcers and choke, and urolithiasis in males.
-
Broilers fed pelleted diets have better performance. This is likely due to a combination of factors, including higher feed intake, increased digestibility, and reduced energy expenditure.
