Researchers tested whether fermented rice husk powder could improve the health and growth of sheep when used as feed. They found that sheep fed fermented rice husk grew faster and gained more weight than sheep fed unfermented rice husk. The fermented version also improved digestion and changed the beneficial bacteria in the sheep’s stomach in positive ways. This discovery could help farmers use agricultural waste more effectively as animal feed.
