Description: Bulk properties of alfalfa pellets needed for design of storage and handling equipment were experimentally determined. Bulk density, angle ofrepose onfilling andemptying, andinternal angle of friction were affected bymoisture content andpellet type. The internal angle of friction (23.2? to 26.9?) was less than angle of repose (27.6? to 35.2? on filling, and 35.4? to 48.5? on emptying) at any moisture content. Bulk density ofpellets ranged from 578 to 665 kg/m3 within the moisture range of 7.5% and 18%, wet basis.
