Our complete pellet range is made using the highest production<br />
standards in Europe for <strong>Carp</strong> nutrition.<br />
We do not produce any pressed pellets in our range, but only<br />
the very best extruded pellets. In our extrusion process, raw<br />
materials are first ground to the correct particle size, normally the<br />
consistency of a coarse flour. The dry mix is then passed through<br />
a pre-conditioner, where other ingredients are added, and steam<br />
is injected to begin the essential pre-cooking process. This preconditioned<br />
mix is then passed through an extruder, and then<br />
forced through a die where it is cut to the desired length. The<br />
cooking process takes place within the extruder where the product<br />
produces its own friction and heat due to the pressure generated<br />
(10–20 bar) to complete the cooking process.<br />
This extrusion cooking process gives the following<br />
enhanced food benefits:<br />
• Starch gelatinization<br />
• Protein denaturation<br />

• Inactivation of raw food enzymes<br />
• Destruction of naturally occurring toxins<br />
• The reduction of micro-organisms in the final product<br />
<strong>Berkley</strong> <strong>Gulp</strong>! pellets are a range of feed pellets that have all been<br />
designed to attract and hold fish in your swim. The ingredients<br />
used are selected to create highly attractive and palatable pellets.<br />
The flavours used will create a powerful flavour trail that leads the<br />
fish to the fishing area and triggers a very strong feeding response.<br />
All our products are nutritious and palatable to fish, containing all<br />
the necessary vitamins; whilst no harmful preservatives are used.<br />
All the ingredients used are natural and biologically degradable.
