Broiler litter pelleting using Siriwan model machine

Broiler litter (BL) is an effective material for improving the physical and chemical condition of soil, including for the fattening ruminant. However, there are three factors that limit the application of fresh broiler litter (FBL). The first problem is that BL usually has high moisture content and high volume per unit of weight. As a result, it is difficult and costly to transport. The second problem is that the quality of the BL and its nutrient contents is not constant. The third problem is that safety for utilizing BL as feed ingredient and impact to environment from pathogens. These are also limited the efficient use of BL. The pelleting technology is an effective method to solve almost all problems. A Siriwan model machine is used to make BL into pellets. The moisture content of BL and the rate at which BL is supplied to the die part in the chamber that very important in pelleting processes. After processing, the pelleted BL has a volume of only 60.0-90.0 % of the FBL and retains their form during storage and distribution. When the pellets are scattered, they generated less dust than FBL
