Looking to Improve Your Pellet Durability Index (PDI)? Here Are Some Proven Strategies
Pellet quality plays a critical role in feed efficiency and handling. Enhancing PDI requires a multi-faceted approach, involving formulation tweaks, ingredient processing, and equipment optimization. Here are a few strategies worth considering
1. Smart Feed Formulation
Wheat & Wheat Gluten: Adding 10% wheat or 1–2% wheat gluten can significantly boost binding capacity.
Control Oil Levels: Favor solid animal fats over vegetable oils. If higher oil inclusion is needed, consider post-pelleting application to avoid compromising PDI.
Limit Fiber: While helpful for structure, too much fiber can weaken pellets
Use Natural Binders: Animal by-products, milk products, and additives like lignosulfonate or small amounts of molasses (1–2%) can strengthen pellet cohesion.
Holistic Formulation: Consider how ingredients interact chemically and physically—formulation synergy matters more than individual components.
2. Improve Ingredient Processing
Grinding: Aim for a consistent grind to maximize surface area and binding potential.
Conditioning: Proper heat and moisture treatment help gelatinize starch, naturally improving PDI. Balance is key to preserve nutrient quality.
3. Optimize the Pelleting Process
Die Design: A higher length-to-diameter (L:D) ratio improves pellet strength but may impact throughput—find the right balance.
