Impact of pet feed production equipment on pet feed

The production equipment for pet feed increases the starch gelatinization content, producing modified starch with strong water absorption and adhesion. Due to its high water absorption, we can add more liquid ingredients (such as oils, molasses, etc.) to the product. Moreover, because it has stronger adhesive properties than ordinary starch, the amount of starch added during expansion production can be significantly reduced. This provides more flexibility in selecting other raw materials. By choosing cheaper ingredients in the formula to replace expensive ones, costs can be substantially reduced without compromising product quality.

Due to the binding of protein and starch matrix, it is not easily lost during feeding. Only when digestive enzymes break down the animal's starch can protein be released, thereby improving protein efficiency. The mechanical expansion process of PET feed also denatures proteins, inactivates many anti-nutritional factors, alters the tertiary structure of proteins, and shortens the hydrolysis time of proteins in the intestine. For ruminants, swelling produces rumen-undegradable protein, i.e., rumen protein, which can prevent ammonia poisoning and improve protein utilization.
