%X The aim of this experiment was to evaluate the effects of sepiolite with water on pellet quality and pellet production parameters for broiler grower feed under regular industrial conditions. Sepiolite, a natural feed additive, is a hydrated magnesium silicate. In the experiment, 12 mt pellet feeds for control and treatment groups with 6 batch were produced in a commercial feed factory. Each batch was 2 mt. Control group feed produced contained 88.80% dry matter, 19.22% crude protein and 1.85% crude fiber. For the treatment group feed, 1% sepiolite (Exal T) and 1% water was used ¡®on top¡¯ in the mixer. Pelleting disc having 3.5 mm hole diameter was used in the factory. Energy consumption and pelleting duration were increased at the level of 0.87% and 2.5%, respectively. The inclusion of sepiolite in the diet increased the pellet durability index significantly (P<0.001). Pellet durability index was found as 60.40% in control group feed and 67.99% in treatment group feed. Therefore, it is concluded that sepiolite with water usage into broiler grower feeds would be beneficial in pellet quality
