Feed pellets refer to the mechanical kneading of feed raw materials into solid substances of a certain size and shape, which is an important form of feed used in modern aquaculture. Compared to traditional feed formats, feed pellets have many advantages, so the benefits of feed pellets to the aquaculture industry are also obvious.
First of all, the nutrition of the feed pellets is balanced. Feed pellets can precisely formulate the required feed nutrients, and can control the content of energy, protein, fat, fiber, etc. in the feed, so as to ensure the nutritional balance of the feed. This can effectively meet the nutritional needs of farmed animals at different growth stages, improve feeding efficiency, and reduce waste in the feeding process and reduce feed costs.
Secondly, the taste of feed pellets is good. The surface of feed pellets is flat and smooth, and the texture is hard, which can avoid problems such as feed foam, water absorption and deformation, thereby avoiding the situation of feed blocking the feeder. This kind of feed pellet with better taste can greatly improve the feed intake rate of farmed animals, increase the utilization rate of the digestive tract of farmed animals, and then improve the production performance and breeding efficiency of farmed animals.
Third, the digestion and absorption of feed pellets is relatively easy. The shape and texture of the pelleted material is relatively uniform, and it is easier for farmed animals to ingest, chew and digest. On the contrary, if feed raw materials with large particle size and irregular size are used, it will affect the operation of the digestive tract of farmed animals, and may even lead to problems such as insufficient intake, nutritional imbalance and digestive tract diseases. Adding some enzymes and other substances to feed pellets can promote the digestion and absorption of nutrients in feed by farmed animals.
In short, the preparation and use of feed pellets has been widely used in the modern aquaculture industry and has been widely recognized. The use of feed pellets instead of traditional feeding methods can improve the weight growth rate, feed utilization rate and survival rate of farmed animals, while reducing environmental pollution and resource waste and other problems, which is one of the effective ways to promote the development of modern breeding industry and ensure the quality and safety of meat, eggs, milk and other livestock products.
