Abstract

During the animal feed production process, it inevitably loses water due to the high temperature applied in the production process. Feed manufactures have the objective to attain a maximum level of moisture in the feed without encouraging mold growth. Admixing moisture with organic acid-surfactant milling aid can guarantee a constant water level in feeds without harming the microbiological quality of the feed. A feed production trial was conducted to study the effect of introducing a milling aid and milling solution comprised of water mixed with organic acids-surfactant milling aid on the process and quality of pelletized broiler feed. The studied organic acids-surfactant milling aid (MNL) is synergistic blend containing ~54% of mixed organic acids and their salts with 1.95% of ethoxylated castor oil surfactant. The treatments: C0: no moisture and no organic acids-surfactant milling aid; T1: no moisture and NML at 1.0kg/T and T2: 1% moisture and MNL at 1.0kg/T were added to corn-soy based broiler diet at the mixer as top-dressing addition and diets were processed at a feed milling facility. Pellets were then evaluated according to feed manufacturing variables and pellet quality. Admixing organic acid-surfactant milling aid and/or with moisture resulted in an improvement in the pellet quality (starch gelatinization, pellet durability, moisture retention), feed mill parameters (feed production, energy consumption) and no deteriorate effect in mold inhibition compared to control. These results also demonstrated that T2 treatment group improved the overall pellet quality and feed mill parameters to much extent due to the better water holding capacity of feed moistened with milling solution attributed by the presence of surfactant in the organic acid-surfactant milling aid to potentiate the water binding during the preconditioning process.
