采供Pellet Die Size & Machine Selection Guide
In feed production, choosing the right pellet die size and pellet mill configuration directly impacts feed conversion rates, animal health, and operational efficiency.
This guide provides practical insights for animal feed manufacturers, farm owners, and distributors.
Pellet Die Size Selection by Animal Type

3mm Broilers, laying hens, rabbits, pigeons Suitable for mid-sized poultry and herbivores
4mm Adult chickens, ducks, geese, mature rabbits Widely used, well-balanced for most small livestock
6mm Pigs, sheep, dogs, large poultry Larger size for animals with stronger teeth
8mm Cattle, horses, buffalo, large ruminants High-energy coarse pellets, easy to chew slowly
