Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for production of feed pellets comprising grinding of the raw materials prior to extrusion, and such pellets comprising 0-20 weight % carbohydrates, 30-45 weight % protein, 35-52 weight % lipid, 2.5-10 weight % water and the balance being water. The raw materials comprising 0-26 weight % carbohydrates, 30-70 weight % protein, 3-30 weight % lipid and 12-30 weight % water are ground to an average particle size of less than 0.25 mm. The pellets are a homogenous mixture of raw materials comprising 0-26 weight % carbohydrates, 30-70 weight % protein, 3-30 weight % lipid and 12-30 weight % water having an average particle size of less than 0.25 mm and having been extruded and coated with lipid constituting at least 75 weight % of the total lipid content of the pellets.
