Rice bran is a highly valuable feed additive in animal nutrition. It is commonly used as a source of protein, energy, and fiber in the diets of farm animals such as cattle, sheep, poultry, and horses.

USE OF RICE BRAN AS ANIMAL FEED

Average Nutritional Value:
Crude Protein: 12–16%
Crude Fat: 12–20% (can oxidize rapidly if not stabilized)
Crude Fiber: 7–10%
Metabolizable Energy (ME): 2200–2800 kcal/kg

For Cattle and Large Ruminants:
Rice bran is included in rations as a source of energy and protein. 
It can be used at inclusion rates of up to 10–20% of the total ration.

It supports rumen fermentation; however, excessive use may increase the risk of acidosis.
