Inherent variability imposes overdosing of micro-ingredients in PPLA systems

Originally intended for the application of fat and other macro liquids to the surface of pellets, there has been a trend for the application of micro-ingredients to pellets using Post-Pellet Liquid Application technology. Jared Froetschner and Nelson Ward of DSM Nutritional Products in this article look at some of the key issues regarding the use of PPLA systems to deliver micro-ingredients in animal feed manufacturing.

Getting micro-ingredients in the pellet

Adding micro-ingredients to animal feed demands the highest possible degree of precision in order to obtain the right effect in each ration. Adding too many micro-ingredients wastes valuable additives while adding too few micro-ingredients or not utilising them effectively will not have the required results. Ingrid van der Sterren explains how a vacuum coater fits into this process.

Adding liquids to the feed after pelleting

Sometimes it is difficult to get liquid products into the feed before or during pelleting because of their sensitivity to high temperatures or their negative impact on the pelleting process. In this fourth article in the Feed Tech series on feed processing, feed technology specialist Jared Froetschner addresses the complicated subject of post-pelleting liquid application (PPLA) under US conditions.

Coating helps to keep enzymes 'cold'

The most simple and effective way to mix enzymes in feed is in the dry form, but high processing temperatures are detrimental to the effectiveness of these catalysts. The opportunity to continue using a dry application approach is significantly increased by selecting granular product forms that have been specifically designed to withstand higher processing conditions.

Coating pellets by means of electrostatic loading technology

In food processing many sophisticated technologies are used to add micro-ingredients to the basic foodstuffs. Why not apply these techniques to the feed industry as well, since there are many similarities with food processing. Electrostatic coating is one of the methods that could be used to coast products for animal consumption.

Off-the-shelf output transforms into tailor-made production

Three major developments can be distinguished when discussing developments in animal feed manufacturing during the past decade: innovation and cost control, consumers playing a leading role and safety beyond all doubt. In this article, especially written for the 10 year anniversary of Feed Tech, Harm Klein of Tebodin CCE elaborates on these events and how they have affected compound feed manufacturing.
