The effects of dacitic (rhyolitic) tuff breccia and corn distillers' dried grains with solubles (DDGS) inclusion on pellet mill electrical efficiency, production rate, and subsequent pellet quality.

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of Azomite (AZO) and 30% distillers' dried grains with solubles (DDGS) on pellet mill (PM) electrical consumption (kWh/MT), production rate, and pellet quality. Experiment 1 was conducted as a 2 × 2 × 2 factorial with main effects of diet formulation (0% or 30% DDGS), PM (1 or 2), and AZO (0% or 0.25%) with 4 replications per treatment.
