Organic rice protein
High-quality plant-based protein source for organic animal feed
In summary
- Plant-based protein raw material from organically grown rice
- High digestibility and low anti-nutritional factors
- Contains all essential amino acids
- Gluten-free and soy-free, suitable for sensitive species
- Applicable in organic animal feed and aquafeed
- Feed grade quality with organic certification
Organic rice protein is a plant-based protein raw material extracted from organically grown rice. The product is used in organic animal feed and aquafeed as a high-quality, highly digestible protein source. Due to its organic origin and controlled processing, organic rice protein aligns with cultivation systems where sustainability, transparency, and natural raw materials are central.
The protein-rich fraction is then concentrated, dried, and ground into a homogeneous powder. The production process complies with organic processing standards and results in a stable, feed-grade raw material with consistent quality.
The product meets strict quality and safety criteria and has a low moisture and ash content. Additionally, it meets microbiological requirements for use in animal feed, including the absence of salmonella and low microbial counts.
Although rice protein is not a primary mineral source, it can play a complementary role within balanced organic feed concepts.
These properties make the product suitable for young animals, sensitive species, and feeds where stability and predictability are important.
The product is typically used as part of an organic protein mix and contributes to a balanced protein supply within permitted regulations.
These certifications make the product suitable for professional applications within certified organic feed chains.
Origin and production process
Organic rice protein is produced from rice originating from certified organic cultivation. During processing, the rice is mechanically ground and subsequently treated enzymatically to separate starch and other carbohydrates from the protein fractions.The protein-rich fraction is then concentrated, dried, and ground into a homogeneous powder. The production process complies with organic processing standards and results in a stable, feed-grade raw material with consistent quality.
Nutritional and analytical properties
Organic rice protein is rich in plant-based protein and contains all essential amino acids. The amino acid profile is typical for rice, with a relatively lower lysine content, which is why the product is often combined in practice with other permitted organic protein sources.The product meets strict quality and safety criteria and has a low moisture and ash content. Additionally, it meets microbiological requirements for use in animal feed, including the absence of salmonella and low microbial counts.
Mineral contribution
In addition to protein, organic rice protein provides small amounts of natural minerals originating from the rice raw material. These contribute to the total mineral profile of the animal feed without synthetic additives.Although rice protein is not a primary mineral source, it can play a complementary role within balanced organic feed concepts.
Functional properties in organic animal feed
Within organic animal feed, organic rice protein is valued for its high digestibility and low presence of anti-nutritional factors. It is naturally gluten-free and soy-free and has a neutral influence on feed intake.These properties make the product suitable for young animals, sensitive species, and feeds where stability and predictability are important.
Application in animal feed and aquafeed
Organic rice protein is used in organic feeds for various animal species, such as poultry, pigs, ruminants, pets, and aquaculture. Within aquafeed, the product is of interest due to the combination of digestibility and stable protein quality.The product is typically used as part of an organic protein mix and contributes to a balanced protein supply within permitted regulations.
Certification and quality
Organic rice protein is available with organic certification according to EU regulations for organic production. Furthermore, the product complies with feed safety standards such as GMP+.These certifications make the product suitable for professional applications within certified organic feed chains.
