Rice bran

Rice bran is a by-product of milling and is supplied to feed compounders, poultry units and dairy farms. Bran degrades quickly once milled, so it is moved on a short cycle and dispatched as fresh as the milling programme allows. Fat and fibre content vary with the degree of milling and are stated per lot.
