The physicochemical properties of the pineapple waste pellets at different moisture content level, in terms of
friability, bulk density, true density and porosity were determined in this research. It could be concluded from this
study that moisture content ranging from 35 to 50%, had no significant effect upon the physical characteristics of the
pellets except for true density. Based on this research, the best condition for the pellets was at 35% of moisture
content with lowest value of friability (0.85 ± 0.28%) and higher value of true density (1520.35 ± 0.35 kg m-3) and
porosity (80.05 ± 0.86%). Pelleting could increase the bulk density of the pellets, thus reducing the amount of space
required for transportation and storage. Pelleting of pineapple plant waste could potentially increase the utility of
this forage as a natural fiber source for ruminants. Pelleting also had an added value of increasing its flexibility for
feeding. As a result, densification of pineapple waste into pellets could reduce costs and solve problems related with
handling, transportation and storage.
