Field Trial: Liquid Ameri-Bond 2X in broiler withdrawal
This pelleting trial on a broiler withdrawal feed in the South Central USA shows how the inclusion of 10% distillers grains (DDGS) in the formulation caused amperage to increase and limited conditioning temperature. These restrictions were eliminated by application of liquid Ameri-Bond 2X.
The purpose of this trial was to document the ability of liquid Ameri-Bond 2X to allow increased conditioning temperature and increased production rate in a Broiler Withdrawal 2 ration containing 10% DDGS.
Key takeaways:
- Increasing amperage caused by the inclusion of 10% DDGS was reversed by application of liquid Ameri-Bond 2X
- Production rate was increased from 45 to 50 TPH
- Pellet durability was improved from 75.9 to 77.3
