Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of the moisture content and pellet mill type on the physical and chemical characteristics of Italian ryegrass (IRG) pellet. Moisture content of raw material significantly (p<0.05) affected IRG pellet formation. Moisture content at 25% was the best condition for IRG pellet formation in terms of shape, power load and temperature changes. The hardness of pellet was decreased when moisture content was increase. However, the hardness of pellet was not affected by pellet mill type. Moisture content at 30% dramatically (p<0.05) decreased the durability compared to moisture content at 25%. Dry matter content of IRG pellet was increased (p<0.05) after pelleting. Total count of microorganism was decreased in pellet due to pressure heat and moisture losses during the pelleting process. These results indicated that the proper moisture content of Italian ryegrass pelleting would be at 25%. In addition, Roll & flat die type would be more suitable than Ring die and Die & flat die type in IRG pelleting. Pelleting works would be beneficial for improving forage quality and long storage.

본 연구는 IRG의 사료 가치 및 보관성 향상을 목적으로 소형 펠렛밀의 동력 구동방식 및 함수율이 IRG 펠렛의 성형 특성 및 품질에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위해 실시되었다. IRG의 펠렛 형성은 재료의 함수율에 큰 영향을 받았다(p<0.05). 펠렛밀의 종류별로 약간의 차이는 있지만, 함수율 25% 조건이 외관, 부하량 및 온도 변화를 고려했을 때 IRG 펠렛 성형에 가장 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 펠렛의 경도는 펠렛밀의 종류에 관계없이 함수율이 높을수록 낮아지는 경향을 보였다. 15~25% 조건의 함수율이 내구도에 미치는 영향은 적었지만, 함수율 25% 조건에 비해 30% 조건에서는 내구도가 급격히 떨어지는 결과를 보였다 (p<0.05). 펠렛밀의 종류와 함수율에 관계없이 IRG 펠렛 성형전에 비해 성형 후에 건물 함량이 높아졌으며(p<0.05), 펠렛 성형과정에서 발생되는 압축열과 재료의 급격한 수분 손실로 인해 총 세균수는 크게 감소되는 결과를 보였다. 따라서 본 연구의 결과에서 IRG 펠렛 형성에 바람직한 함수율은 25%로 나타났으며, 원형 펠렛밀 보다는 수평형 펠렛밀 특히, roller 구동의 수평형 펠렛밀이 IRG 펠렛 형성에 유리한 것으로 판단된다. 또한 IRG에 대한 펠렛 성형은 IRG의 사료 가치 및 장기 보관성 향상에 긍정적인 방법인 것으로 사료된다.
