In the feed mill, pellet production is one of the most energy consuming process step; therefore, any potential area of optimization is beneficial to pursue. Adisseo has conducted different studies to see the comparative effect of DL-Methionine in powder form and OH-Methionine in liquid form on the electricity consumption at this specific step of pellet production.
Trials are performed in field conditions, as well as in a pilot plant (in Tecaliman, the French technical center for feed) between 2015 and 2020 and on more than 10 different diets.
On 2 thirds of the tested feed formulas, energy savings are observed for pelleted feed supplemented with Rhodimet® AT88 vs DL-Methionine, ranging from 3% up to 13%. Energy savings with DL-Methionine are never observed.
