Dr. John Boney: Impact of Pellet Quality | Ep. 19
Welcome to another insightful episode of The Feed Science Podcast Show. Today, I'm thrilled to have Dr. John Boney, an esteemed assistant professor from Penn State University, join us. Together, we'll dive into the intricate world of feed pellets, examining their quality and the significant role it plays in the distribution of nutrients on farms. We'll also navigate through the complexities of different feeder systems and their influence on pellet integrity. Plus, Dr. Boney sheds light on the challenges that feed mills face as they strive to harmonize the pace of production with the maintenance of pellet quality.
"In long feed lines that run the length of a barn, we observed nutrient segregation, meaning the composition of feed can vary from one end to the other, regardless of pellet quality."
