TI  - Effects of Usage of Sepiolite in Layer Diet on Pellet Quality and Pellet Production Parameters
AB  - The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effects of sepiolite usage on pellet quality and pellet productionparameters for layer diet under industrial conditions. In this study; 14 t pellet diets for control and treatment groups with 7batch were produced in a commercial feed factory. Each batch was 2 t. Control group diet manufactured in this study,contained 14.12% crude protein, 4.47% crude fibre and 3.20% ether extract. For the treatment group diet 1% sepiolite wasused as top dressed in the mixer. Pelleting disc having 6 mm hole diameter was used in the factory. Sepiolite usage reducedenergy consumption at the level of 16.14% and increased pellet durability index significantly (p<0.001). Pellet durabilityindex was found to be 49.08% in the control group and 87.39% in the treatment group. Therefore, it is concluded thatsepiolite usage in layer diets would be beneficial for improvement in pellet quality.
