A high-energy feed pellet based on natural materials and a method for the preparation thereof

摘要

The present invention relates to a high-energy feed pellet based on natural materials having a total fat percentage of more than 15 wt.%. The present invention also relates to a method for the preparation of the high-energy feed pellet based on natural materials in which the starting materials are mixed and processed to obtain a feed pellet, which method comprises the following steps: a) providing a starch-containing composition having an average particle size of 200-650 µm; b) bringing the composition of step a) into contact with a certain amount of supplementary components; c) extruding the product obtained in step b) to obtain a feed pellet; d) introducing a fat-containing composition into the feed pellet obtained in step c) in a vacuum; and e) bringing the feed pellet obtained in step d) to atmospheric pressure in order to obtain the high-energy feed pellet having a total fat percentage of more than 15 wt.%.
