Quality of feed pellets greatly affects the bird performance as pellets that have more nutrients stored in them will give more energy and power needed for the increased growth rate of the bird. There are numerous factors that affect the quality of chicken feed pellets. Some of the main factors are manufacturing technique, condition of feed pellet production equipment, raw material, size of the particles, and moisture level in the raw material. Let&#;s see how each factor influences the quality of pellets and their overall performance.
The beneficial raw material for this process is the one that has binding properties which will reduce the need to add artificial binders and will also save you a lot of money. The most common raw material used for this purpose is soybean, corn, brown rice, fish meal, and animal meal. They are available at reasonable prices during the harvesting season. If the raw material used has a large amount of fats in it, it can damage the quality of the pellet. The amount of cereal grains used in making pellets influences the quality as well. Less fatty material should always be preferred.

The most accurate temperature for achieving high quality results is from 80°C to 85°C.
The size of pellets of raw materials also influences the quality of raw material. The grinder is used to crush the raw material into fine particles so that pellets of good size and high density are achieved.

The remaining 5% is the trace element additives required by the chickens. By breaking up these raw materials, mixing them in a certain proportion and stirring them well, a simple chicken feed is made.
