Abstract

This study aims to address the high cost of aquaculture feed in Malaysia by exploring the use of rice bran (RB), a byproduct of rice milling, as an alternative feed ingredient. It compares the effectiveness of two fungal strains, Schizophyllum commune and Rhizopus sp., in enhancing the nutritional value of RB through solid state fermentation (SSF). The goal is to assess the potential of fungal-treated RB as a sustainable and economical substitute for traditional aquaculture feed.
