Friends from the animal nutrition industry, today’s tip is about pelletized and extruded rations. Are you ready to learn more? Follow us and enjoy the content.
The ration production scenario in Brazil is in a constant evolution. In 2022, animal feed production increased by 1,3%, resulting in approximately 82 million tons.
Brazil stands out as one of the world’s largest producers of feed, serving not only livestock, swine farming, poultry farming, and aquaculture but also a growing demand in the pet food line. This competitive advantage is largely due to the abundance of raw materials available in our country.
In this context, pelleting and extrusion of feeds stand out as effective processes to improve the quality and efficiency of produced foods. Transforming ingredients through these processes results in feeds with better digestibility and absorption, especially beneficial for monogastric animals.
The gelatinization of starch during passage through the conditioner, when exposed to sufficient heat for a specific period, is one of the main benefits of these processes. In addition to promoting the growth and performance of animals, pelleting and extrusion reduce waste and ensure more uniform consumption, aligned with Embrapa’s guidelines.
However, successfully implementing pelleting and extrusion presents challenges. It is essential to carefully analyze raw materials and process steps, from grinding to drying and cooling.
