Advantages of Pelleted Feed in Animal Breeding
TIME:2026-08-03 14:24:09 WRITER：JINAN GLOBAL MACHINE MANUFACTURER
With the rapid development of the feed industry, pelleted feed processed by pellet mill has been widely recognized and popularized. In Europe, most feed varieties adopt pellet form except layer feed. In South China, pelleted feed output of most feed mills has exceeded 80% of the total, showing a dominant market share. The main advantages of pellet mill-processed pelleted feed are as follows:
1. Avoids feed segregation and pollution, and optimizes storage and transportation. Powdered feed easily segregates due to different raw material densities and produces large amounts of dust, causing pollution and livestock respiratory irritation. After being pressed by the pellet mill, feed segregation is completely eliminated. The low-dust pellet structure reduces environmental contamination. Meanwhile, pelleted feed shrinks in volume by about one-third, saving storage space and cutting transportation costs with better fluidity for convenient management.
2. Removes harmful substances and improves feed safety. Harmful bacteria like Salmonella in raw feed easily cause human foodborne illnesses. The high-temperature steam conditioning during pellet mill processing effectively kills such pathogens, improving feed safety and protecting human food health.
3. Enhances feed palatability and increases animal feed intake. The high-temperature and high-pressure working environment of the pellet mill gelatinizes feed starch and nutrients. The compact, nutrient-concentrated pellets feature better palatability, effectively stimulating livestock and poultry appetite and boosting feed intake.
4. Improves feed digestibility and conversion rate. The integrated moisture, heat and pressure effect during pellet mill pelleting triggers beneficial physical and chemical changes in feed. It deactivates anti-nutritional factors such as trypsin inhibitors and hemagglutinins. Gelatinized nutrients are easier for animals to digest and absorb, significantly improving feed utilization and conversion efficiency.
