Group Description
As we know, poultry production systems are continually evolving. One of the primary causes that determines feeding and nutrition is the improvement made in the genetic potential of poultry birds ( both broilers and layers) and this is done to harness the best potential in the shortest period and with best efficiencies. There are many other factors that have a bearing on feeding and nutrition and some of them are driven by consumers, societal needs, and to cater to the production of specialized poultry products. In some cases, feeding and nutritional may also be determined by government regulations, cost of production, access to desired raw materials and other environmental concerns.
As members of the poultry community – we represent different global regions and different scenarios that control feeding and nutrition, and your experiences will be useful for every member in the community. We feel that knowledge shared on this platform will be useful to all in either improving operations, gaining on production or for taking corrective actions. Come, join this interest group, and share your experiences and views.

Pelleting increases the nutrient density of the feed therby, increasing performance.

-
Pelleting increases the nutrient density of the feed, improves digestibility, and increases the availability of vitamins E and B12.
-
Pelleting can increase palatability by masking unpleasant ingredient tastes and reducing ingredient sorting.
-
Pelleting can reduce formulation costs by allowing for the inclusion of alternative ingredients. It can also save 15–20% on broiler chicken feed costs.
However, pelleting can also have some negative effects, such as reducing the content of vitamins A, E, and K, or destroying these nutrients. It can also increase the incidence of ulcers and choke, and urolithiasis in males.
-
Broilers fed pelleted diets have better performance. This is likely due to a combination of factors, including higher feed intake, increased digestibility, and reduced energy expenditure.

Pelleting feed is important in poultry production because it improves the nutritional properties of the feed, makes it easier to handle, and reduces waste
