The Effect Of Different Inclusion Levels Of Corn Starch And Fine Ground Corn With Different Conditioning Temperature Or Die Thickness On Pellet Quality, Marut Saensukjaroenphon, Caitlin E. Evans, Cassandra K. Jones, Charles R. Stark, Chad B. Paulk Jan 2021

The Effect Of Different Inclusion Levels Of Corn Starch And Fine Ground Corn With Different Conditioning Temperature Or Die Thickness On Pellet Quality, Marut Saensukjaroenphon, Caitlin E. Evans, Cassandra K. Jones, Charles R. Stark, Chad B. Paulk

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

Feeding a greater percentage of whole pellets to poultry and swine provides a greater return on investment for producers. Pellet binders are commonly used in commercial feed mills, but the added cost has limited their use in poultry and swine feed mills. Corn starch could be a potential natural binder for feed as it is for biomass pellet operations. Therefore, the objective of these experiments was to determine the effect of different inclusion levels of corn starch and fine ground corn with different conditioning temperature or die thickness on pellet quality. In, Experiment 1, treatments were arranged in 3 × …


Effects Of Dry And Liquid Pellet Binder Inclusion And Conditioning Temperature On Pellet Mill Efficiency And Pellet Quality Of A High-Fiber Ruminant Ration, Caitlin E. Evans, Marut Saensukjaroenphon, Charles R. Stark, Chad B. Paulk Jan 2021

Effects Of Dry And Liquid Pellet Binder Inclusion And Conditioning Temperature On Pellet Mill Efficiency And Pellet Quality Of A High-Fiber Ruminant Ration, Caitlin E. Evans, Marut Saensukjaroenphon, Charles R. Stark, Chad B. Paulk

The objectives of this experiment were: 1) to determine the effects of sucrose and lactose-based liquid ingredient inclusion on the pelleting efficiency and quality of a high-fiber diet; and 2) to evaluate the role of mash conditioning temperature on the binding effectiveness of the tested liquid ingredients. Binders included DLS (dry calcium lignosulfonate), LCM (liquid cane molasses), LMB (commercial liquid molasses blend), and LLB (commercial liquid lactose blend). Treatments were arranged in a 5 × 3 factorial of pellet binder (control, DLS, LCM, LMB, and LLB) and conditioning temperature (165, 175, and 185°F). Data were analyzed using the GLIMMIX procedure …


Effects Of Conditioning Temperature And Pellet Mill Die Speed On Pellet Quality And Relative Stabilities Of Phytase And Xylanase, Caitlin E. Evans, Marut Saensukjaroenphon, Charles R. Stark, Chad B. Paulk Jan 2021

Effects Of Conditioning Temperature And Pellet Mill Die Speed On Pellet Quality And Relative Stabilities Of Phytase And Xylanase, Caitlin E. Evans, Marut Saensukjaroenphon, Charles R. Stark, Chad B. Paulk

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

The objective of this experiment was to determine the effect of conditioning temperature and die speed on pellet quality and enzyme stability of phytase and xylanase. Treatments were initially arranged as a 2 × 3 factorial of conditioning temperature (165 and 185°F) and die speed (127, 190, and 254 rpm); however, when conditioning at 185°F it was not possible to pellet at 127 rpm. Thus, data were analyzed in 2 different segments using the GLIMMIX procedure of SAS. First, linear and quadratic contrasts were utilized to test the response to increasing die speed at 165°F. Second, the data were analyzed …


Evaluation Of Conditioning Temperature And Die Specifications On Nursery Pig Performance, M. B. Braun, K. M. Dunmire, C. E. Evans, C. R. Stark, J. C. Woodworth, C. B. Paulk Jan 2020

Evaluation Of Conditioning Temperature And Die Specifications On Nursery Pig Performance, M. B. Braun, K. M. Dunmire, C. E. Evans, C. R. Stark, J. C. Woodworth, C. B. Paulk

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

The objective of this study was to determine the effects on growth performance in nursery pigs that is linked to the conditioning temperature and die specifications used during the feed pelleting process. A total of 315 barrows (DNA; 200 × 400; initial BW 13.2 lb) were used in a 35-d growth trial. Upon arrival, pigs were weighed and assigned to pens in a completely randomized design with 5 pigs per pen, and each pen was randomly assigned to 1 of 7 dietary treatments with 9 replications per treatment. Treatments consisted of a mash control (MC) and 6 pelleted diets manufactured …


Effect Of Steam Pressure And Conditioning Temperature During The Pelleting Process On Phytase Stability, C. N. Truelock, N. E. Ward, J. W. Wilson, C. R. Stark, C. B. Paulk Jan 2019

Effect Of Steam Pressure And Conditioning Temperature During The Pelleting Process On Phytase Stability, C. N. Truelock, N. E. Ward, J. W. Wilson, C. R. Stark, C. B. Paulk

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

This experiment was designed to evaluate the effects of steam pressure and conditioning temperature on the stability of microbial phytase. Treatments were arranged as a 2 × 3 factorial of steam pressure (24 and 44 psi) and conditioning temperature (170, 180, and 190°F). Phytase was added to a corn-soybean meal-based diet and mash samples were collected for phytase analysis. The diet was pelleted via steam conditioning (10 × 55 in Wenger twin staff pre-conditioner, Model 150) and using a pellet mill (CPM Model 1012-2) with a 3/16 × 1 1/4 in pellet die (L:D 6.7). Conditioner retention time was set …

A study was conducted to determine the stability of four commercial phytase products exposed to increasing conditioning temperatures. The four commercial products used were: Quantum Blue G (AB Vista, Plantation, FL); Ronozyme Hi Phos GT (DSM Nutritional Products, Parsippany, NJ); Axtra Phy TPT (Dupont, Wilmington, DE); and Microtech 5000 Plus (Guangdong Vtr Bio-Tech Co., Ltd., Guangdong, China). The phytase products were mixed as part of corn-soybean meal-based swine diet at a concentration recommended to provide a 0.12% aP release. All four diets were analyzed for phytase activity to establish baseline phytase activity for each product. Diets were then conditioned at …
