It is interesting to me that the Optimal feed is getting comments about its shape maybe being better. I can see that to be the case. But what makes the comment seem odd to me is that the Optimal feed I have seen pictures of looks like it came directly out of the pelleting machine. In years gone by I have fed a lot of hog feed that is pelleted and the Optimal looks just like hog feed coming out of the pelleting machine. The odd part of this to me is I would assume the pellets we are used like Aqua-Max or Cargill are round. I'm no expert on feed making, but I would assume that it takes another process (maybe a tumbler while the pellets are still soft) to create the round pellets we are used to. So perhaps the Optimal feed is a simpler process????
I don't know. Just trying to envision how the round pellets are made. I've seen the machines in action making feed like the Optimal pellets. They change the length of the pellet by changing the cut off arm speed I believe.
Anyone know the specifics of the making of fish feed pellets?
