exhibit more weight gain (second from left); and consume more energy per day due to the increased feed intake (middle bars).<\/p>\n<p>However, as we\u2019ve pointed out in a previous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insta-pro.com\/en\/2015\/02\/12\/pelleting-mill-vs-extrusion\/\">blog<\/a>, pellet mills are primarily used to form pellets only.\u00a0 This is confirmed here, as the metabolizable energy content of the ingredients in complete feeds (per unit) is not increased with pelleting (second set of bars from the right).<\/p>\n<p>This is why it\u2019s important to use high quality, ingredients that are processed properly in a formulation, including high-shear dry extruded, whole soybeans (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.insta-pro.com\/en\/2017\/05\/04\/using-dry-extruded-whole-soybeans-extruded-full-fat-in-formulations\/\">extruded \u201cfull-fat\u201d<\/a>) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insta-pro.com\/en\/2017\/05\/18\/properly-processed-express-soy-meal-maintains-high-digestibility-greater-metabolizable-energy\/\">ExPress\u00ae soy meal<\/a>.\u00a0 Pellet mills are not meant to cook ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth pointing out that, for some of the diets used in this study, pelleting did have a minor benefit on feed efficiency (my calculation, shown on the far right bars, weight gain relative to feed intake).\u00a0 However, the benefit was very minor (+35 mg weight gain, or 0.035 g, per g feed intake) and was likely only specific to a few ingredients found in certain formulations.<\/p>\n<p>While the cause of any of these benefits is unknown, as discussed, we already know that it was not due to increases in metabolizable energy per unit complete feed \u2013 with energy being the most expensive portion of a broiler diet (in absolute terms).<\/p>\n<p>Finally, pelleting often requires the use of certain ingredients at certain levels to improve pellet quality, like 10% wheat diets, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insta-pro.com\/en\/2016\/04\/21\/rice-bran-better\/\">rice bran<\/a>, or even pellet binder ingredients.\u00a0 This will place limits on the use of other ingredients that you may want in the formulation.
