Abstract
Broilers are commonly fed crumble type of feeds which is subjected to
heat and compression. Pelleting is associated with positive effects for both feed
handling and bird performance, including increased feed utilization and better growth
rate (Gibson, 1995). Pelleting can also be associated with negative effects, especially
when the mixture is overheated. Overheating can result in resistance of protein (Araba
and Dale 1990) and starch (Brown, 1996) to digestion, inactivation of vitamins,
increased intestinal viscosity (Nissinen, 1994), and inactivation of endogenous enzymes
(Inborr and Bedford, 1994).
