* Effects of pelleting on protein availability The second most abundant nutrient in pelleted feeds is proteins. Less is known about changes occurring in proteins during the pelleting process. However, proteins are known to respond easily to heat when water is present, changing their tri-dimensional structure and thus their physical behaviour. It is also known that this will allow for improved binding properties of the feed material, which will result in improved pellet durability. To what extent this denaturation of proteins will improve protein availability through improved digestibility is
