Rice bran (full-fat)

Dedak padi halus · Oryza sativa

Also known in Indonesia as: bekatul, dedak halus, dedak padi

Suitable for: Ruminants, Poultry, Fish

Rows: E-S2 table fibre 4-11%; E-S1 entry 0318 (dedak pabrik no.1, CF 9-13%); E-S17 sample labelled bekatul. Hartadi lists bekatul (rice polishings) as a separate feed: see E-gaps.md.

Inclusion limit

Broilers: suggested up to 15% full-fat bran (extruded bran allowed 20%); defatted bran 15-20% in broilers [E-S2]. Sheep: recommended levels range from <20% to >40% depending on basal diet [E-S2]. Pigs: 22-60% depending on treatment [E-S2]. Tilapia: used widely, but gave lower performance than wheat or maize bran in one Kenyan trial [E-S2].

Rancidity: lipase becomes active after milling and free fatty acids rise about 1%/hour in parboiled-rice bran; steam heating (100 C, 4-5 min) or drying delays it [E-S2]. Phytate, enzyme inhibitor, high and variable fibre and oxidative rancidity can harm poultry [E-S2]. Very low Ca relative to P (Ca 0.07% vs P 1.70% DM in E-S2 table). Fibre class matters: high-fibre (husk-contaminated) bran has much lower energy (see E-S1 entries 0319-0322 and E-S2 fibre classes).
