Pelleting was necessary to maximize efficiency of growth, but only with standard and long-term conditioning. Indeed, the best efficiencies of gain were for pigs fed the expander processed diets, with no additional benefits from pelleting the expanded mash.SwineExpanderPelletUlcersFinishing pigsEffects of expanders (high shear conditioning) on growth performance in finishing pigsConference paper
