  Why is Pellet feed so good for commercial broiler chicken? It is now a well-established commercial activity to manufacture and offer pellet feed in commercial broilers for the following reasons feed homogeneity is improved because feed separation is greatly reduced Less feed is wasted when pellets are fed Pelleting should slightly improve the energy value through the chemical changes brought about by heat moisture and pressure Much of the improvement in the measured energy value of pellets results from the fact that birds spend less time eating them so their energy requirement for eating and digestion is reduced. Although pellet size may play a role in feed intake. The Best suitable methods for measuring pellet quality Apart from proximate values of feed ingredients, some other physical qualities like abrasiveness, pellet quality factor, color and density impact on pellet quality and durability. Pellet quality factor (PQF) has a score from 0 to 10 where o predicts poor quality a...
