ABSTRACT
The effects of concentrates, in which glycerol plus soyabean meal replaced wheat, on physical,
chemical and hygienic pellet quality characteristics were investigated. Three purities of glycerol
were used, reflecting different stages of the biodiesel production process. Glycerol inclusion levels
were 50, 100 and 150 g/kg concentrate dry matter (DM). Concentrates were stored under good
(15°C, 60% relative humidity) or bad (20°C, 70% relative humidity) environmental conditions and
for 4 or 8 weeks. Chemical quality was only slightly affected by purity and concentration of glycerol
and likewise by storage conditions or duration. Ergosterol concentration indicated that glycerol of
different purity had a preserving effect. The physical quality of pellets was not affected by the purity
of glycerol or by glycerol concentration of up to 150 g/kg DM. Glycerol at different purity may help
to stabilize the hygienic quality of pelleted compound feeds without compromising the physical
quality of pellets.
