1. Pellet feed helps prevent selective eating in animals. Formulated feed contains a variety of ingredients, ensuring balanced nutrition and reducing the likelihood of animals picking only their favorite components and refusing others. The uniform structure of pelleted feed during storage and feeding minimizes waste, with studies showing a reduction of 8% to 10% in feed loss compared to loose feed.
2. Pellet feed improves feeding efficiency. During the pelleting process, moisture, heat, and pressure combine to trigger physical and chemical changes that gelatinize starch and boost enzyme activity. This makes the feed easier for animals to digest, leading to better weight gain. For poultry and pigs, pelleted feed can improve feed conversion ratios by 10% to 12%. Finishing pigs fed pellets show an average daily gain increase of 4% and a feed-to-meat ratio improvement of 6%, while broilers can see a 3% to 10% improvement in feed-to-meat efficiency.
3. Pellets are more cost-effective for storage and transport. After pelleting, the bulk density of feed typically increases by 40% to 100%, which reduces storage space requirements and lowers transportation costs. This makes pellet feed a more practical choice for large-scale operations.
4. Pelleted feed offers better flowability and is easier to manage. Many powdered feeds, especially those with added molasses or high-fat content, tend to stick together or clump. Pellets, on the other hand, have excellent flow properties and minimal stickiness. This makes them ideal for use in automated feeding systems, particularly in large dairy or poultry farms where efficiency is key.
5. Pellet feed reduces ingredient segregation and environmental pollution. Powdered feed tends to separate during storage and transport due to differences in particle size and weight. Pellets, however, maintain a uniform mix and are less prone to dusting. Additionally, they are less likely to be contaminated by air or water during feeding, making them a cleaner and more environmentally friendly option.
6. Pelletizing can help eliminate harmful bacteria like Salmonella. When animals consume feed contaminated with Salmonella, the bacteria can remain in their tissues and pose a risk to humans through the food chain. High-temperature steam processing during pelleting effectively kills Salmonella, improving both animal and human health safety.
Finished Pharmaceutical Products
The definition of Finished
Pharmaceutical Product can be found in § 4 (1) of the Medicines Law. It reads:
"Finished drugs are drugs that are prepared in advance and sold in
specific packaging to the consumer..." The drugs are mostly in the form of
tablets, capsules, drops, liquids, ointments and suppositories. For
Phytotherapy (healing with plants) numerous drugs are also available in
pharmacies in which drugs or drug preparations are processed. One distinguishes
between the drug preparations: the chopped drug to prepare a tea, the milled drug
(= drug powder) and the dried extract for the manufacture of tablets, capsules
and pills, tincture for the preparation of drops and the fluid extract for
juices, salves and other ointments to name a few. A finished drug with a drug
formulation is called an "herbal medicine" or phytopharmacon (plural:
phytopharmaceuticals).
