Pelleting is the most extensively used thermal processing method in feed industry. In this article, a single pellet press device was developed to investigate pelleting of animal feed. Effects moisture content (10%-18% w.b.), preheating temperature (60°C-100°C) and maximum compression force (0.2-0.6 kN) on were determined analyzed, as well energy consumption. The results showed that unit density...

The effect of intermittent feeding on growth, feed utilization and body composition of subadult olive flounder fed extruded pellet (EP) in suboptimal temperature (13.5±2.10°C) was determined. Two hundred twenty five subadult fish averaging 272 g were randomly distributed into fifteen of 300 L circular flow-through tanks (fifteen fish per tank). Five treatments with different days of feeding a w...

Two hundred and forty male Cobb broilers were used to study the reasons of causing ascites. The results showed that cold ambient temperature could induce ascites (33.89% vs. 2.50%) and significantly increase triiodothyronine (T3), but reduce thyroxine (T4) concentrations in plasma (p<0.05). The ascitic broilers had high concentrations of aldosterone and K , but low concentrations of T3 and T4 i...

Feeding dairy beef, predominantly Holstein steers, has evolved into a highly specialized segment of the US beef industry. Producing acceptable-quality carcasses from dairy steers requires feeding high-energy diets and marketing them at a young age, 12 to 14 months, and weighing 1150 to 1300 lbs. Several aspects of the dairy beef program are unique compared with beef cattle. The calves are not r...

Water quality is a limiting factor of life for aquatic biota, especially biota that lives in pond. Therefore, water management very necessary so cultivation activities, ponds can continue and do not cause negative impacts on the surrounding environment. Various factors decrease aquaculture one which from remnants feed fish manure. Feed contributors to dissolved organic matter Maggot or black sh...

Pelleting was introduced into Europe about 1920 and into the U.S. feed industry in the late 1920's (Schoeff, 1994). Its popularity has grown steadily until about 80% of all feed in the U.S. are currently pelleted. Today, the process is widely used because of both the physical and the nutritional benefits it provides. The physical benefits include improved ease of handling, reduced ingredient se...
