The invention belongs to the technical field of oil deep processing and particularly relates to nutrition enriched rice oil and a production method thereof. The nutrition enriched rice oil is prepared by the following optimized process: (1) preparing crude oil by rice bran; (2) refining the crude oil, namely (i) degumming; (ii) carrying out ultrasonic-assisted dewaxing; (iii) de-coloring for the first time; (iv) falling-film deacidifying; (v) de-coloring; (vi) deodorizing; (vii) de-coloring for the second time; and (viii) dewaxing and degreasing; and (3) enhancing the rice oil, namely adding a suitable amount of oryzanol, sterol and vitamin E to the rice oil which is refined by steps to obtain the nutrition enriched rice oil. The content of necessary fatty acid of the nutrition enriched rice oil is 40-50%, the content of linoleic acid is 35-40% and the content of oleic acid is 40-50%; the mass ratio of the contents of the necessary fatty acid to the linoleic acid to the oleic acid is 1 to 1 to 1. The nutrition enriched rice oil provided by the invention can be used for developing other foods, food auxiliary materials or medicine auxiliary materials.

The invention discloses a method for improving overwintering survival rate and qualities of oreochromis niloticus fries. Before overwintering, feeds with 12% to 14% fat level are fed to the fries, and soybean oil and fish oil are blent in a proportion of 4:1 to form fat sources. Fatty acids--linoleic acids and linolenic acids which are necessary to growth of oreochromis niloticus are mainly increased so as to improve energy reserve. Low-temperature stress resistance of the oreochromis niloticus can be improved by low temperature acclimatization and the low temperature adaptability is improved. During overwintering, feeds with 1.5% to 2% compound Chinese herbal medicine are fed to the fries, so that damages of the low-temperature stress to fish bodies can be effectively relieved, the non-specificity immunity of the fish bodies is improved, and the overwintering survival rate and fry qualities are improved. Meanwhile, according to the above three steps, material selection and facility configuration are easy, the price is relatively low, processes are simple, traditional problems that overwintering costs are high, the survival rate of the fries is low, and qualities of the fries are poor are excellently solved, and environment-friendly and physically beneficial breeding requirements can be met.
