Using Rice Bran to Improve Fish Nutrition

This study raised Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia on diets with different amounts of rice bran and measured the omega-3 content of the fillets afterward. Fish fed more rice bran produced fillets with significantly higher omega-3 levels, and growth and survival stayed the same either way. It shows that a low-cost, locally available ingredient can improve a final product's nutritional value without any trade-off in performance, the same principle we look for in by-product based fertilizer inputs.
