The Application of Taguchi Method to Optimize Pellet Quality in Broiler Feeds
Reza Vakili
Abstract:The aim of this experiment was to optimize pellet quality by changing different levels of moisture, production rate, grain particle size and conditioning temperature using Taguchi method. In this experiment A 43 fractional factorial arrangement using Taguchi method was conducted in broiler starter, Grower and finisher feeds with three production rates (3.5, 4 and 4.5 ton h-1), three steam conditioning temperatures (65, 75 and 85°C), three particle sizes that were achieved by grinding the whole grains in the ha… Show more
