Production of Floating Pellets Using Appropriate Methods.

Abstract

The study was investigated into the use of floating materials like candle wax, yeast and baking powder to achieve pellet buoyancy. Ten diets were formulated with incorporation of floating agents; diet I- YBCT-(yeast-baking powder in cold water-toasted), diet II-YBCU-(yeast-baking powder in cold water-untoasted), diet III-YBWT (yeast-baking powder in warm water-toasted), diet IV-YBWU (yeast-baking powder in warm water-untoasted), diet V-WIT-(candle wax incorporated toasted), diet VI-WIU-(candle wax incorporated untoasted), diet VII- WCT-(candle wax coated-toasted), diet VIII-WCU-(candle wax coated untoasted), diet IX-WBYT-(wax-baking powder-yeast toasted), diet X-WBYU-(wax-baking powder-yeast-untoasted).
