Patience, still not knowing where you are located and what feedstuffs are available, try this site.

http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/AN128.

And depending if the nutrient value is there but the palatability is not, you can blend malt, or molasses to encourage the cattle to eat it.

Are these cattle being raise for beef or dairy. This also has an effect for the types of nutrients. As far as cattle being raise for dairy, you may need to monitor the calcium/potassium balance on the feed intake.

Any bran taken from any grain has a higher nutritional valve then the milled grain that's left. So blending it with cottonseed cake would increase the nutritional valve of the feed.
Bran is used in horse feed to help them gain weight.

Yep. They feed that blend a lot in India. Maybe somebody from India could comment further.

Rice hulls have a high silica content.

I don't know if this would affect their suitability as part of cattle feed, probably not. cattle can eat some remarkable things.
