Rice Hulls as Animal Feed in Kazakhstan

Date:28 March 2018

Country: Kazakhstan

Application

• Converts rice hulls into a digestible feed ingredient for livestock.
• Offers an environmentally sustainable solution for managing rice hull waste.

Description

Kazakhstan is exploring the use of rice hulls as an animal feed ingredient by adopting South Korean technology. The process involves high-pressure compression to break down lignin, improving the digestibility of the rice hulls. This sustainable solution addresses the challenge of managing 90,000 metric tons of rice hulls produced annually. The Chamber of Entrepreneurs is offering subsidies to encourage local farmers to invest in this eco-friendly technology.

 

 

Pathway Description:

The process involves high-pressure compression technology to break down the lignin in rice hulls. This treatment helps release the nutrients in the remaining material. The result is an easily digestible ingredient suitable for animal feed. This method improves the nutritional value of rice hulls and reduces waste.
