Objective
Pelleting processing and using pellet processing to develop all different pelleted products. To determine chemical composition of the selected best pelleted products. To determine important amino acid profile of the selected best pelleted products.
Outcome
o Pellets which included up to 25% peas blended with carinata provided products with high amounts of rumen bypass protein, absorbable intestinal feed protein and total digestible fibre. o Milk production not affected by pelleted products which included peas.
