Pelleting

What is Pelleting?

Pelleting, or compounding as it is sometimes known, is a process in which multiple raw materials are blended together, ground, bound with liquids then pressed and cut into hardened pellets. The process also includes a heating and conditioning phase in which the meal is cooked mixed ensuring even distribution of all ingredients in the finished feed.  Pelleted feeds are common in the ruminant and equine sectors and small pellets are also widely used in small pet feeds to provide a correctly balanced mineral supplement.

Benefits of Pelleted Products

The pelleting process allows a many raw materials to be combined in relatively small quantities to create a nutritionally balanced feed. Micro-additions of high value minerals can be incorporated and even distribution throughout the mix can be assured. Pellets are an excellent way of delivering high quality balanced nutrition to animals either as a complete feed or as a component in a diet.
