Safe and Ethical Animal Nutrition

Hemp Nutrition Facts

Hemp products such as whole seed, dehulled seed, hempseed oil, hempseed meal, hempseed hulls, and to some extent hempseed screenings have been evaluated in the production of various animals including poultry, swine, ruminants, and aquaculture. These studies indicate hempseed products do not negatively influence animal health indicators or animal performance. Moreover, they enhanced animal products (egg, meat, and milk) with health-benefiting bioactive components such as omega-3 fatty acids, fat, gamma-linolenic acid, and conjugated linoleic acid. Although most supporting evidence from literature on the safety and efficacy may have focused on the application of whole hempseed, hempseed oil, and hempseed meal for use in animal feeds, other hempseed-derived fractions such as such as dehulled seed, hulls, screenings and protein concentrates are nutritionally valuable for animals.

For detail on hempseed ingredient research for each species of livestock please refer to N.Mohamed and J.House, Safety and Efficacy of Hemp-Derived Products in Animal Feeds – A Narrative Review. Cdn J.Ani. Sci. 2024. The authors concluded that within prescribed limits, hempseed-derived products can be regarded as safe and effective feed ingredients and suitable alternatives to the conventional feed ingredients for inclusion in animal feeds.

Nutritional Information

Hempseed byproducts are excellent sources of protein and energy (Mohamed et al. 2024). Data indicates the seed contains 20–25% protein, 20–30% carbohydrates (mostly as fibre), and 25–35% oil (House et al. 2010), and is valuable for livestock and poultry (Callaway 2004; Mustafa et al. 1999; Silversides and LefranÇois 2005).

Hempseed and hempseed meal are also rich in amino acids, particularly high in arginine, glutamic, and aspartic acids. In addition, hempseed oil contains a high content of polyunsaturated fatty acid (approximately 80%) with a favourable ratio of approximately 3 to 1 of linoleic acid to alpha-linolenic acid (Parker et al. 2003). This ratio of these healthy fats is unique to hempseed oil compared to other plant-derived dietary source of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as flaxseed oil (1:4) (Callaway 2004), making it desirable for good health and development in animals (Yao et al. 2012).

Moreover hempseed and hempseed oil have been shown to efficiently enrich animal products with the essential fatty acids (Gakhar et al. 2012; Gibb et al. 2005; Neijat et al. 2016a; Neijat et al. 2016b; Silversides and LefranÇois 2005).
