Rice-Based Ingredients
More than a By-Product
Rice processing doesn’t end at polished grains — some of its most valuable outputs are what remains. Our rice-based ingredients are sourced directly from the milling process and repurposed as efficient, nutritionally rich components for feed and pet food production.
Whether used to boost digestibility, enrich formulas with natural oils, or create affordable bulk in mixed feeds, our rice derivatives offer more than just filler — they bring function. With stable supply, consistent quality, and versatility across species, these by-products are a smart choice for feed manufacturers.
Excellent Digestibility
Rice and its derivatives are easy on the digestive system, especially for young animals and sensitive pets
Clean & Allergen-Friendly
Rice is naturally gluten-free and rarely causes allergic reactions, making it ideal for hypoallergenic pet food formulations.
High Energy Value
Broken rice and rice bran provide concentrated sources of carbohydrates and healthy fats, ideal for growth and recovery diets.
Versatility Across Species
Suitable for poultry, pigs, ruminants, fish, dogs, and cats — rice-based materials can be used in both complete feeds and specialized blends.
Sortex rejected kernels are rice fractions removed during optical sorting processes. These kernels, while cosmetically imperfect, retain nutritional value and serve as functional ingredients in various feed applications.
Key Features:
• Variable appearance but consistent nutritional profile
• Economical source of rice nutrients
• Suitable for grinding into flour for complete feeds
• Sustainable utilization of rice processing by-products
Applications:
• Industrial pet food production
• Ground component in complete feeds
• Economical energy source in livestock formulations
Sortex Rejected Kernels
Green rice kernels are immature rice grains harvested before full maturity. They offer a unique nutritional profile with a balance of digestible carbohydrates and higher fiber content compared to mature rice.
Key Features:
• Moderate energy content with increased fiber
• Novel carbohydrate profile with slow-release properties
• Natural green color from chlorophyll content
• Cost-effective inclusion in feed formulations
Applications:
• Economical ingredient in maintenance animal feeds
• Filler component in complete feed formulations
• Fiber source in ruminant diets
• Specialty ingredient for weight management pet foods
Green Rice Kernels
Rice bran is the nutrient-rich outer layer of the rice kernel, removed during the milling process. It's valued in animal nutrition for its unique combination of protein, fat, and micronutrients.
Key Features:
• Naturally high in oil content (15-20%)
• Good protein levels (12-15%)
• Rich source of B vitamins and minerals
• Contains natural antioxidants like oryzanol and tocotrienols
Applications:
• Energy-dense ingredient for performance horse feeds
• Component in dairy cattle rations to increase milk fat
• Value-added ingredient in premium pet foods
• Natural source of fat and nutrients in organic animal feeds

Rice Bran
Broken rice
Broken rice consists of rice kernels that have fractured during the milling process. These fragments, while not suitable for human consumption markets, provide an excellent digestible carbohydrate source for animal feeds.
Key Features:
• Highly digestible starch source (over 90% digestibility)
• Low fiber content making it suitable for monogastric animals
• Clean, consistent product with minimal contaminants
• Cost-effective alternative to whole grains
Applications:
• Premium pet foods requiring highly digestible ingredients
• Aquaculture feeds where digestibility is critical
• Piglet starter feeds requiring easily digestible energy sources
• Specialty feeds for young or sensitive animals
