Feed Pellets
Animal feed pellets are a popular choice among farmers and pet owners alike. These small, compressed pellets are made by grinding up various types of grains, vegetables, and proteins, and then extruding them through a pelleting machine. The result is a convenient and easy-to-use form of animal feed that offers a number of benefits. They are compressed under pressure which means they have a greater resistance to moisture compared to loose feed which means they have a longer shelf life. They also take up less room when stored.
Key benefits of feed pellets
One of the main advantages of animal feed pellets is their convenience. Unlike loose feed, pellets are easy to measure and distribute. This means that farmers and pet owners alike can quickly and easily provide their animals with the right amount of nutrition, ensuring that they receive all of the vitamins, minerals, and protein they need to stay healthy.
​
Another benefit of animal feed pellets is their durability. Because they are compressed under high pressure, pellets are much more resistant to moisture and damage than loose feed. This means that they can be stored for long periods of time without spoiling, making them a great option for farmers who need to stock up on feed for the winter months.
​
In addition to their convenience and durability, animal feed pellets also offer a number of nutritional benefits. Pellets can be formulated with specific vitamins and minerals to meet the needs of different types of animals. For example, pellets for chickens might contain extra calcium to support strong eggshells, while pellets for horses might contain more protein to support muscle growth and development.
