Fat is one of the most influential formulation variables affecting pellet durability. In feed manufacturing, fat addition improves dietary energy density, palatability, nutrient delivery, and pellet mill throughput, but excessive fat addition before pelleting often reduces pellet durability, pellet hardness, and resistance to handling damage. The negative effect is mainly caused by three mechanisms: first,…
