Rice Straw is the byproduct of rice production, consisting of the stalks and leaves left after harvesting the rice grains. It is widely used as animal feed, organic mulch, biofuel, and raw material for paper and packaging industries. Due to its fibrous nature, Rice Straw serves as an excellent roughage source in livestock diets, particularly for cattle, sheep, and goats.
