Feed Pellet Processing: Optimizing Fish Food Quality Factors
Fish pellet feeds are feeds made from a mixture of various active substances (e.g. plants, animals, fats, oils, yeasts and other ingredients) required for fish growth. Of course, the quality of the fish feed pellets made can vary greatly if different products are used.
Different parts of aquaculture require different daily pellet feeds for fish during your fish feed mill processing. Factors affecting fish pellet feeds include: formulation, size, hardness, softness and moisture content.
Therefore, we should choose the most suitable feed pellet equipment to produce the most suitable pellet feed according to the needs of different customers.

Formulation
When selecting a pellet feed formulation for fish, it is important to firstly consider the food habits and the requirements of the main nutrients for the fish being cultured. Secondly, it is important to understand the nutritional composition of the various feed ingredients and their balance with each other and the digestibility of these nutrients.Therefore, when matching fish pellet feeds, the following issues should be noted. The combination of various feed materials. Because all kinds of feed materials have their own characteristics, the nutritional value is also different. In terms of protein content, animal feed pellets are higher than plant feed pellets.

Selection of pelleting machine for fish feed
The production of pellet feed machinery is different, the production of pellets also has a difference.
Such as the production of soft pellet machinery, simple structure, no drying equipment, so the production of pellets with high moisture content, can not be stored for a long time, can only be used as they are made, which is mostly small-scale production.
What’s more, with the difference in processing technology, fish pellets can be extruded hard pellets or extruded pellets. Although the ingredients of these two pellets are the same, they show differences after being put into water: hard pellets. The pellet feed sinks to the bottom, while the extruded feed floats on the water surface. The physical properties of the two types of pellets are different.
Floating Fish Feed Pellets vs. Sinking Fish Feed Pellets
Despite the same formula, extruded feed pellets are more expensive than hard feed. But extruded pellet feed can still produce better economic benefits because of its many advantages.
There is a relatively new type of pellet feed processing equipment - fish feed extruder machine, raw materials by high temperature and high pressure shot out of the pellet, the moisture suddenly vaporized, so that its pellets instantly extrude.
