The document discusses how inadequate starch cooking, particularly in tropical climates, can cause various problems for feed mills like poor pellet quality, low throughput, and high fines. It notes that poor starch cooking negatively impacts both the feed mill and bird performance. The key solution proposed is adequately gelatinizing starch granules during pelleting, which brings many benefits like improved pellet quality, increased throughput, reduced costs, and enhanced bird performance and health. Pictures show how adequate starch cooking improves pellet quality by creating a gelatinized surface on the pellets.

5. is the root cause for all these symptoms.
Inadequate Starch Cooking
(gelatinization) particularly in
the Tropics
Our survey on >1500 Feed mills
has confirmed that
6. Poor Starch Cooking
in tropics during Pelleting is not only Negatively
affecting the Feed Mills & Pellet Quality
but…
also the Bird Performance!
7. ? Better Intra-particles Binding
? High Micronutrients protection
? Enhanced Pellet Quality
? High feeding value
? Enhanced Die Life
? Reduced Processing Cost
? Reduced motoAmp
? Reduced Replacement Cost
at feed mill level.
Benefits of Starch Cooking
? Greater lubrication,
Increased Throughput
? High Moisture Retention
? More Bio-available Feed
8. ? Higher Moisture & Digestibility
? More Bio-available Feed
? High Palatability, Feed Intake
? Reduced wet litter incidence
? High Productive Energy
? Reduced raw starch overload
? Less fines, lesser disease
? Enhanced Digestibility
? High performance
At Birds level.
Benefits of Starch Cooking
9. Starch Granule 400:1
Adequately gelatinizing the
starch granules (~ 30-40%) during
pelleting brings in paradigm shift in your
feed processing parameters,
pellet quality and bird
performance.
10. Adequate Starch Cooking
Support Coarse Meal Particles Too
Adequately gelatinized mash meal during feed processing
yields quality pellets & crumbs.
