TLDR
This experiment shows a positive effect of brown rice on growth performance, especially on nutrient digestibility, and a slight improvement in growth performance of pigs in brown rice treatments.Abstract:
A 4 week experiment was designed to study the effects of replacing corn with Chinese brown rice or adding different amylase in brown rice basal diet on growth performance and apparent fecal digestibilities of nutrients in growing pigs. One hundred and eight cross-bred pigs (Duroc×Landrace×Large White), weighing an average of 18.35±0.12 kg, were randomly assigned to 6 treatments with 6 replications per treatment. Diet in treatment 1 was corn-soybean meal basal diet, and in treatment 2, 3 and 4, corn was replaced by brown rice on rates of 33.3%, 66.7% and 100% respectively on the basis of treatment 1. And diets in treatment 5 and 6 were similar to treatment 4 except two kinds of amylases, glucoamylase and α-amylase, were added respectively. The brown rice used in this experiment was husked from one kind of early, long grain, non-glutinous rice (ELGNR, indica rice) in southern China. The results indicated that there was a slight improvement in growth performance of pigs in brown rice treatments (p>0.05). The blood urea nitrogen value in treatment 2 was lower than that in treatment 1 (p 0.05) but not for digestibilities. This experiment shows a positive effect of brown rice on growth performance, especially on nutrient digestibility. (Asian-Aust. J. Anim. Sci. 2002. Vol 15, No. 9 : 1334-1340)read more

The nutritional value of brown rice and maize for growing pigs
TL;DR: It can be concluded that Chinese brown rice are better than maize not only in apparent ileal digestibilities, but also in metabolizable rate of amino acids and gross energy under the present study conditions.

Performance, nutrient digestibility and intestinal disaccharidase activity of weaner/grower pigs given diets containing extruded Chinese stored brown rice with exogenous enzyme supplements.
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance and one ileal apparent digestibility (IAD) trial were conducted to investigate the performance, nutrient digestibility and intestinal disaccharidase activity of weaner/grower pigs given diets containing Chinese stored brown rice (CSBR) extruded and with exogenous enzyme supplements.

Effects of brown rice particle size on energy and nutrient digestibility in diets for young pigs and adult sows.
TL;DR: Considering the energy required for milling and nutrient digestibility, milling brown rice to 600 and 800 μm are recommended in diets for young pigs and adult sows, respectively.

Growth performance and intestinal microflora population of broilers fed aged brown rice.
TL;DR: It is found that ABR may replace 100% of yellow corn and did not influence growth performance of broilers, thus providing an alternative for the use of stored rice in broiler diets.

Rice as an alternative feed ingredient in swine diets
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of rice as a feed ingredient for swine diets has been investigated and it has been shown that rice can reduce the usage of antibiotics and pig removal and protect pigs from gastrointestinal diseases including diarrhea.

TL;DR: The data confirm earlier findings that brown rice raises large bowel digesta mass and SCFA through greater fermentation of starch but show that starch itself makes a relatively small contribution to digesta and stool mass.
