PEL-BOND
NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENT
A pellet binder for use in animal and aquaculture feeds for improving pellet quality and pelleting efficiency
Features & Benefits
PELLET BINDER
• Proven effectiveness in increasing pellet hardness and durability
• Reduces the power requirements for the pelleting process
• Low inclusion rate to allow for improved least-cost formulation and increased nutrient density
• Increases pelleting rate
• Extends pellet die life
• Assists in reducing the amount of fines in pelleted feeds
• Safe to add to all feeds with no residue or withdrawal concerns
• All ingredients are GRAS certified (Generally Recognized As Safe)
• Manufactured in the United States of America
directions For Use
For animal feeds, add 1 – 2 kg per ton of complete feed
For fish feeds, add 3 – 5 kg per ton of complete feed
For shrimp feeds, add 6 – 10 kg per ton of complete feed
*The usage rate will vary depending upon factors such as feed moisture, fat, and fiber content
Packaging
25 kg bags
Species
Poultry, Swine, Ruminant, Equestrian, Aquaculture
*May not be available in all markets due to regulatory restrictions
**All ingredients are Generally Recognized As Safe by the United States Food and Drug Administration. There are no adverse effect, interactions or contraindications with the product. No withdrawal time is required.
superior alternative to sodium bentonite
A trial was conducted at a feed manufacturing plant in the United States to compare the efficacy of Pel-Bond as a pellet binder to sodium bentonite
Procedure
- An animal feed containing 14% protein, 6% fiber and 2.5% fat was utilized in the trial
- Sodium bentonite was added at the rate of 25.0 kgs per ton while PEL-BOND was added at the rate of 1.0 kg per ton
- The results of the trial are shown in the following table:
Results & Discussion
• These results show that PEL-BOND increased pellet hardness by over 40.0%
compared to sodium bentonite and at only 1/25th the inclusion rate (1.0 kg vs. 25.0 kg)
• The use of PEL-BOND would provide much greater formulation flexibility which
could lead to savings in the feed formula when least-cost formulation procedures
are employed

increased pelleting rate and durability
A trial was conducted to evaluate the use of PEL-BOND as compared to sodium bentonite for use as a pellet binder in a turkey feed
Procedure
- The sodium bentonite was added at the rate of 10 kg per ton while the PEL-BOND was added at the rate of 1 kg per ton. Choice White Grease was added at the rate of
5% at the mixer - The feeds were pelleted using a California Century 100 HP dual speed pellet mill with a T.S. 11/64” stainless steel die
- The pellets were cooled with a continuos flow, horizontal cooler
- The results of the trial are shown in the following table:
Table 2: Evaluation of Pel-Bond Efficacy vs. Sodium Bentonite
Results & Discussion
• These results show that PEL-BOND, when compared to sodium bentonite, increased the pelleting rate by 11.3%
• The feed containing PEL-BOND had a marked increase in the pellet temperature which will maximize the gelatinization of the starches too improve the digestibility
of the feed
• The use of PEL-BOND reduced the power required to accomplish the pelleting process with the average amperage range being reduced by approximately 15 – 20 %
• This reduction in amperage, along with the more than 11% increase in pelleting rate, resulted in a reduction of 32.7% in the kilowatt hours required to produce a ton of
pellets when PEL-BOND is compared to the sodium bentonite
• The pellets made with PEL-BOND were significantly harder and also more durable when compared to the sodium bentonite, resulting in superior quality pellets
• The use of PEL-BOND in animal feeds, when compared to more commonly used, sodium bentonite, is clearly the superior choice for increasing pellet quality
