Since Rice Bran Oil contains three different kinds of natural antioxidants -- namely Tocopherol, Tocotrienol, and Oryzanol -- some of the major antioxidant companies have recently switched their basic oil to rice bran oil. This movement shows that the industry leaders recognize rice bran oil's oxidative stability.In animal feed industry, crude rice bran oil is a better source of energy when compared to animal fats because it is high in metabolizable energy. It contains essential fatty acids for animals and helps reduce heat of digestion. Based on research studies concluded that the inclusion of crude rice bran oil up to 3 percent in broiler ration is recommended for better growth and high return over feed cost.Crude rice bran oil also helps reduce dust in feed, making it more palatable to animals; moreover, it acts as a lubricant in animal feed pellatization stage.

In the rice bran oil extracting process, oil is removed from the rice bran, resulting in de-oiled rice bran (defatted rice bran). To produce high quality de-oiled rice bran, the extractions processes, from raw material preparation to the end product, are always controlled under appropriate pressure, time and temperature in order to reduce microorganism in the de-oiled rice bran.
