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 …

The Effects Of Medium Chain Fatty Acids In Mash And Crumbled Pellet Diets On Growth Performance Of Broilers, Gage E. Nichols, Haley K. Wecker, Caitlin E. Evans, Cassandra K. Jones, Charles R. Stark, Chad B. Paulk
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
The objective of this experiment was to determine the effects of medium chain fatty acids (MCFA) in mash and crumbled pellet broiler diets. A total of 400 male chicks (Cobb 500; initial BW 0.092 lb) were housed in 4 Petersime batteries and used in an 18-d study. Treatments were randomly assigned to 80 cages within location block resulting in 8 cages per treatment with 5 chicks per cage at placement. Treatments were arranged in a 2 × 5 factorial with main effects of feed type (mash and crumbled pellet) and 0.5% MCFA inclusion (no inclusion, control; hexanoic acid, C6; octanoic …
