The Effects Of Filter Type And Warm-Up Time On Pellet Durability Index Using The Holmen Nhp100 Portable Pellet Tester, C. E. Evans, R. N. Kort, M. Saensukjaroenphon, H. K. Wecker, C. B. Paulk, C. R. Stark Jan 2019

The Effects Of Filter Type And Warm-Up Time On Pellet Durability Index Using The Holmen Nhp100 Portable Pellet Tester, C. E. Evans, R. N. Kort, M. Saensukjaroenphon, H. K. Wecker, C. B. Paulk, C. R. Stark

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

The Holmen NHP100 (TekPro Ltd, Norfolk, UK) is a portable forced air pellet tester commonly used by the feed industry to determine the pellet durability index (PDI). The objective of this study was to determine the effect of filter type and machine warm-up time on PDI. A corn-soybean meal-based grower diet was conditioned at 185°F for 30 sec and subsequently pelleted using a laboratory pellet mill (Model CL5 California Pellet Mill Co., Crawfordsville, IN) equipped with a 0.16- × 0.5-in die. Production rate was 120 lb/h. Once cool, pellets were analyzed for PDI using the NHP100 with a 60-sec run …

Nutritionally balanced ingredient blends for catla (Catla catla), belonging to the family Cyprinidae, were extruded using single screw extruder. The extrusion was carried out at five levels of soy white flakes content (21%, 29%, 40%, 52%, and 59% db), five levels of moisture content (15, 19, 25, 31, and 35% db) and five levels of barrel temperature (100, 110, 125, 140, and 150 ºC) using three different die nozzles (having L/D ratios 3.33, 5.83, and 7.25). Blends with net protein content of 32.5% contains soy white flakes, along with high protein distillers dried grains (HP-DDG), corn flour, corn gluten meal, …


Evaluation Of Pellet Binders On Pellet Durability Index Of A High-Fat Swine Diet, H. K. Wecker, C. E. Evans, A. Yoder, M. Saensukjaroenphon, C. R. Stark, K. A. Barry, C. B. Paulk Jan 2018

Evaluation Of Pellet Binders On Pellet Durability Index Of A High-Fat Swine Diet, H. K. Wecker, C. E. Evans, A. Yoder, M. Saensukjaroenphon, C. R. Stark, K. A. Barry, C. B. Paulk

The objective of this study was to evaluate the addition of different pellet binders on pellet quality of a grower swine diet by measuring pellet durability index (PDI). Dietary treatments consisted of a corn-soybean meal-based control diet with 20% dried distillers grains with solubles and 4% choice white grease, the control diet with 0.6% lignosulfonate (AMERI-BOND 2X; LignoTech USA Inc.; Rothschild, WI), or the control diet with increasing levels of a pasta by-product (2.5, 5.0, or 10.0%; International Ingredients, St. Louis, MO). Pellet binders were added to the control diet in the place of corn to create dietary treatments. Each …

Three isocaloric (3.5 kcal/g) ingredient blends containing 20, 30, and 40% distiller-dried grains with solubles (DDGS) along with 5% whey were prepared with a net protein content adjusted to 28% (wet basis [wb]). Other ingredients in the blends included soy flour, corn flour, fish meal, vitamin, and mineral mix. These blends were extruded in a single-screw extruder at 15, 20, and 25% (wb) moisture content and at 130 and 160 rpm screw speeds. Compared to previous research, the durability and unit density of the extrudates in this study were found to increase substantially by the addition of whey to the …
