The Benefits of Pig Feed Pellets
1. Less feed waste and less segregation of diet ingredients during feed handling. Feed pelletization helps to make it easier to process the feed and helps reduce feed waste. In addition, though making pig feed pellets can be costly, the benefits far outweigh the cost.
2. Better feed efficiency and greater starch digestibility. One of the benefits of making pig feed pellets is that it makes it easier to be able to handle pig feed and of course reduce wastage. What’s more, pig feed pellets greatly increase the nutrient digestibility. The reason being that the heat involved during the process of manufacturing pig feed pellets is able to break down carbohydrate bonds.This makes them become more digestible by pigs.

Tips for making pig feed pellets
It is worth noting that the type and quantity of nutrient requirements required by pigs differ from one stage of growth to another. It is important therefore that you combine the right proportion of the ingredients or raw materials.

Consequently, here are some tips involved in regards to how to make pig feed pellets for you.
- Moisture content: Ensure that the moisture content of the raw materials for feed pellets is between 10%-12% after conditioning. A moisture content of between 16%-17 % is also just okay. The thing is that how dryer or wetter the raw materials are will have an effect on the finished pellets quality. You can dry the raw materials naturally in the sun or you can employ the use of a drier.
- Crushing of raw materials: You must crush the raw materials before you can start making pig feed pellet. That is important because if the sizes of the raw materials are relatively bigger then pressing them into pellets may not be easy.if you can manage to crush the raw materials into the finest powder or size then the better. This will make the pelletizing rate and the final quality of the finished pellets to be better.
- Conveying raw materials.Feeding the raw materials through the feeder into the Pig feed pellet machine. By doing that, the raw materials will be compressed to die's columned holes and subsequently discharged from the pig feed pellet machine.
- Cooling and storage: After processing of the pig feed pellets, they are often soft and hot. A cooling machine will help in taking away both the heat and moisture on the pig feed pellets surface. The result is dry and hard pellets that you can package for storage. This is generally how to make pig feed pellets.
