#06 - The Impact of Hygienic Pelleting on Poultry Feed - Dr. Joe Moritz

To reduce the presence of pathogenic bacteria, poultry feed can be pelleted at high temperatures and extended times. However, as conditioning temperature and time increase, amino acid conformation may change, thus reducing its digestibility and consequently affecting bird performance. In this episode, Dr. Joe Moritz discusses a study he worked on to evaluate increased conditioning temperatures and exposure time during the pelleting process by using a hygienizer (hygienic pelleting). The study considered diets that varied in digestible lysine and corresponding amino acid ratios on starter broiler performance, as well as apparent ileal amino acid digestibility and requirement.
