“…Hens fed the sand diet adjusted feed intake so that caloric intake and rate of egg production were higher than for those fed the wood fiber diet. Bulk density results from the present experiment are different from previous research (Skoch et al, 1983). In that research, bulk density was 0.50 for the corn-soy diet in mash form and 0.68 when pellets were formed using steam.…”

An experiment was designed to test the ability of broiler chickens to equalize daily energy intake when proximate components of the diet were changed. A factorial arrangement was used to test effects of protein, fat, and fiber content in the diet. The simplest diet contained only corn and soybean meal to provide energy and protein. Protein contents were calculated to be 16.4, 18.2, and 20.0%, with added protein from a combination of corn gluten meal, fish meal, and peanut meal. Hydrolyzed fat was added at 0, 2.5, 5.0, and 7.5% of the diets. A combination of alfalfa meal, oats, and wheat middlings was used to increase the fiber of the corn soy diet by approximately 2 and 4%. The 36 combinations were fed as mash. In addition, 8 of the diets were fed as pellets. All diets were fed for 12 d from the time broilers reached approximately 1.2 kg. A total excreta collection

“…Hardness and water stability are important factors which determine nutrient retention capacity as well as the sinking velocity of pellets (Baeverfjord et al, 2006;Chevanan et al, 2009;. The hardness of pellets generally affects their preference and acceptability by fish, where softer pellets are usually preferred to harder pellets (Aas et al, 2011;Skoch et al, 1983). High water-stable diets are known to prolong digestion and intestinal absorption of nutrients in fish (Pillay and Kutty, 2005;Venou et al, 2009).…”

Aquac. Rep. (2015), http://dx. a b s t r a c tThe present study investigated the effects of the inclusion of three oilseed by-products (soybean, copra and palm kernel meals) on some physical characteristics of pelletized feeds as well as on voluntary feed intake and faecal matter production by the Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus. The dietary inclusion of soybean meal resulted in a significantly higher feed bulk density relative to the fishmeal control diet. The inclusions of copra and palm kernel meals, however, resulted in lower feed bulk densities. Sinking rates, water stabilities and nutrient retention efficiencies of feed pellets were directly related to feed bulk densities. The soybean meal diet had the fastest sinking velocities, greatest water stability and highest nutrient retention rates. The dietary inclusion of soybean meal, however, significantly impaired feed intake compared to the other three diets. Mean daily feed intakes of the control, palm kernel meal and copra meal diets corresponded to 28.88, 27.01 and 28.31 g during the experimental period and varied significantly from the mean daily intake of the soybean meal diet which corresponded to 20.01 g. Faecal matter production (g dry mass kg −1 ingested feed) was significantly higher in the tilapia groups fed the copra and palm kernel meals. The results obtained from this study show that 30% inclusions of unrefined forms of copra and palm kernel meal in Nile tilapia diets is possible, without adversely affecting feed intake or pellet nutrient losses prior to ingestion.

“…However, the vast majority of research comparing meal and pelleted diets in finishing pigs has shown significant or numerical improvements in ADG when pigs are fed pelleted diets (Skoch et al, 1983;Wondra et al, 1995a,b;Potter et al, 2010). The lack of an improvement in ADG in pigs fed pelleted diets may be a result of worsened stomach morphology as indicated by the ulcer index scores.…”

“…Wondra et al (1995b) observed that pigs fed a pelleted diet had reduced intake when compared with pigs fed a meal diet. The decrease in feed intake from feeding a pelleted diet may be a result of feed wastage being limited, as noted by Hanrahan (1984), or as a result of the improved digestibility of a pelleted diet (Skoch et al, 1983). Improvements in digestibility or less feed wastage would also explain why pigs fed pelleted diets throughout had the most improved (P < 0.05) G:F whereas pigs fed meal throughout had the worst G:F (P < 0.05) and all other treatments were intermediate (P < 0.05).…”
