⠀ Why is Aspergillosis added to chicken food?

The feed I was using prior was the TSC store brand. After opening the bag of Purina I noticed it seemed like it has a different texture and possibly a coating of some kind that gives it a "shine" or "wet" look. Where the other brand was dry didn't seem t b coated. Was just curious if this "coating" is why it isn't fermenting as well.?

Pelleted feed has a binding agent added before pelletizing.
Crumbled feed is usually pellets that have gone through the crumbler. They will still have that binding agent added.

But will that stop or slow the fermentation process?
