Pelleted feed is considered to have a very significant impact on animal growth and feed intake. The positive effects of pelleting are well documented: higher feed density, no feed ingredient separation, better bacteriological quality, easier ingestion, improved growth.
Compared with mash, pellets enhance bird performance by decreasing feed wastage, alleviating selective feeding, destroying pathogens, improving palatability and increasing nutrient digestibility. The animal fed pelleted diets have higher BW and improved feed conversion than those fed mash feed.
