Frequently asked questions
How do I prevent rice bran rancidity?
Heat-stabilize within 4 hours of milling, or use antioxidants and refrigerated storage. De-oiled bran is shelf-stable.
Is DORB suitable for layer feed?
Yes up to 15% with phytase supplementation. Higher inclusion reduces energy density.
How is rice bran priced in Asia?
Full-fat rice bran typically trades at 60–75% of corn price; DORB at 40–55%.
