Research from Embrapa Suínos e Aves shows that rice can replace corn in animal feed, which could help Brazilian swine and poultry farmers due to high corn and soybean prices. This is particularly significant as Brazil has an excess of rice in its national market. The cost of using rice in animal feed will depend on freight costs and the comparison with corn prices. The South Region of Brazil, with a grain deficit for swine and poultry and a rice surplus, could particularly benefit from this. The use of rice in animal feed also raises the need for mechanisms to make alternative foods for animal feed permanent.

Studies by Embrapa Suínos e Aves (SC) show that, from a nutritional point of view, rice can complement or replace corn in animal feed. The conclusion could be great news for Brazilian swine and poultry farmers facing high prices stemming from the growing appreciation of corn and soybeans. At the same time, the excess supply of rice in the national market, with a surplus of 600 to 800 thousand tons in the 2020/2021 harvest, reinforces the viability of the grain to make swine and poultry rations cheaper, which currently account for about 70% of 80% of the production cost of the two activities. “Embrapa has already shown that husked rice (brown rice), from a nutritional point of view, is perfectly suited to complement or replace corn in animal feed,” says Embrapa Swine and Poultry researcher Jorge Vitor Ludke. For three years now, corn and soybeans have influenced the performance of swine and poultry, according to data from Embrapa Suínos e Aves's Swine and Poultry Intelligence ...
