Humidity and comparative analysis of durability index in pellet of balanced foods for birds

The research was carried out to improve the humidity parameters and durability index in the balanced feed for poultry in flour and pellet, to guarantee the quality and avoid contamination in the mycotoxin finished product. Samples of flours and pellets were used for four months to evaluate and standardize the pelletization process, to produce balanced food, which is intended for bird consumption in each of the breeding, posture and fattening phases, guaranteeing them a healthy development. In this investigation, we worked with two pelletizing machines of model 700 and model 702 to keep a statistical control of humidity and durability index (IDP), to avoid product losses in the pelletizing process. The contribution of the present investigation was to reduce the economic impact of the feed processing plant since reprocesses were significantly reduced.
