De-Oiled Rice Bran (DORB) is a sustainable, nutrient-rich byproduct of rice milling used primarily as high-protein, cost-effective animal feed for cattle, poultry, and fish. It typically contains 14–18% protein and 10–16% fiber, acting as a healthy, low-cost substitute to traditional feeds. Prices range from ₹10–₹19/kg depending on quality and form.
Key Details About De-Oiled Rice Bran (DORB):
- Nutritional Profile: Contains high fiber (10–16%), crude protein (14–18%), and essential amino acids, promoting better digestibility and increased milk production in livestock.
- Uses: Widely used in cattle feed, poultry feed, aquaculture (aquafeed), and swine feed. It is also used in manufacturing sodium silicate and silica gel and as fuel.
- Benefits: It provides high-quality protein, serves as a cheaper alternative to ingredients like soybean meal, and supports sustainable farming.
- Forms: Available in powder, granules, or pelleted forms (DORB goli), often packed in 50 kg PP or HDPE bags.
