Rice bran, a byproduct of the rice milling process, is derived from the outer layer of the rice grain; it contains a number of nutrients and biologically active compounds. Rice bran is often processed using stabilization, fractionation, enzymatic treatment, or fermentation.
Rice Husk are the hard protecting coverings of grains of rice. In addition to protecting rice during the growing season, rice husk can be put to use as building material, fertilizer, insulation material, or fuel. Rice husk are part of the chaff of the rice.
Wheat bran is a source of fiber. Some people take wheat bran by mouth for preventing diseases of the large intestine (including cancer), stomach cancer, breast cancer, gallbladder disease, hemorrhoids, and a condition where the stomach pushes up through the diaphragm muscle (hiatal hernia). It is also used for treating constipation, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and diabetes.

The cashew is technically not a nut; it is a seed harvested from the cashew apple, the fruit produced by cashew trees. Unlike many other nuts and seeds, the cashew grows outside the fruit instead of inside, within a kidney-shaped drupe that hangs at the end of the cashew apple's base.
Poultry oil is derived from poultry by-products. It is the most unsaturated terrestrial animal fat and with a high oleic acid content. Therefore a large number of studies over the past decade have been carried out and are indicating its high nutritional value for many fish species.
Poultry by-product meal is a high-protein commodity used as a major component in some pet foods. It is made from grinding clean, rendered parts of poultry carcasses and can contain bones, offal and undeveloped eggs. Poultry by-product meal quality and composition can change from one batch to another.
