The present invention relates to a process for producing an animal feed which comprises the use of emulsifiers in association or in admixture with vegetable oleins and glycols. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a feed obtained with said process having improved physical properties and technical production characteristics. The present invention further relates to the use of said feed in animal nutrition. Finally, the present invention relates to the use of emulsifier E484 and/or E487 (Community Register of Feed Additives - EU Reg. No. 1831/2003) in association or in admixture with vegetable oleins and glycols, as a technological additive for increasing the hourly output (tons/hour) in a plant for preparing an animal feed and/or to improve the characteristics of an animal feed, preferably in the form of pellets, in terms of thermal stability and/or stability against microbial growth following long-term storage and/or to reduce the dustiness thereof.
