If you haven't visited WorldPoultry.net and AllAboutFeed.net, they are two excellent websites that give you a finger on the global poultry industry, including the research and outcomes around the world on poultry and feed.

"Solving the feed structure dilemma with the Kahl Crown Expander"

Research shows that coarsely ground feed with an even texture actually improves feed conversion and weight gain. However, a feed that includes a large amount of 'fines' or small particles in the feed that tend to separate or settle out from the larger particles, causes major digestive and "health problems and reductions in performance."

This article highlights the issue and gives recognition to the Kahl Crown Expander which is a machine that allows pelleting of poultry feed without all the fines. It also maintains nutritional content by creating the pellets without the high heat from mechanical compression.

Be sure to look for the best feeds with even coarse milled textures with minimal separation of the fines from the coarse particles for the best in digestive health and absorption for your chickens.
