Deep dives
The Importance of Pellet Quality
High-quality pellets are crucial for optimizing animal performance, especially in monogastric animals like pigs and poultry. Poor pellet quality, characterized by excessive fines, can negatively impact feed conversion efficiency and result in inconsistent nutrient delivery. Pellets are designed to be homogeneous packages of nutrients, and high levels of fines hinder this objective. This necessitates the importance of prioritizing pellet quality to ensure animals receive the nutrients they require for optimal health and growth.
