Evaluation of Rhizopus fermented rice bran as feed in Red Tilapia juveniles, Oreochromis sp.

Abstract

Rice bran (RB) is an abundant agro-industrial waste that is generated during the rice milling process. Improper management of the bran can lead to economic and environmental burdens, as it contributes to the accumulation of agricultural waste and may pose disposal challenges. RB is known to be highly nutritious, containing various beneficial components, however, its potential as a valuable resource is underutilized due to certain challenges, such as high insoluble fiber and unstable fatty acid content.
