ABSTRACT

The study determined the usefulness of dried carrot as a raw material for the production of feed pellet. The influence of relative humidity of ground carrot dried on the hardness, specific density and absorbability of the granulated product was investigated. The results were compared to the hardness, density and absorbability of the dried, unchopped carrot root sections. The relative humidity of the raw material was: 12, 18, 24%. It was found that with increasing relative humidity of raw material from crushed dried carrot, the hardness of the granulate increases and its specific density and absorption coefficient decrease.
