Hemp Seed as Poultry Feed Page 13


Broilers-Up to 20% dried and crushed hemp seeds have been used successfully in broiler diets and resulted in higher breast, leg and thigh weight. This positive effect has been linked to the combination of a good protein and lipid quality associated to other beneficial properties, such as the lack of trypsin inhibitors and the antioxidant activity. Feeding broilers with hemp seed powder at 20% resulted in better feed conversion ratio, higher live-weight gain and lower age at slaughter, and lower mortality rate.

Laying hens With hens fed on 20% of cold-pressed hemp seed meal, no significant differences were found between feed treatments for egg production, feed consumption, feed efficiency, body weight change or egg quality. Increasing dietary inclusion of hemp seed meal produced eggs with lower concentrations of palmitic acid and higher concentrations of linoleic and alpha-linolenic acids

Hemp Seed as Cattle and Ruminant Feed Page 12

 Hemp seed-cake has been used for fattening cattle with gains reported at 6 pounds 9.2 ounces/3 kg/day & adult sheep 0.5 kg per day. The digestive system also works in a more balanced manner when feeding hemp seed cake compared to soybean meal which is shown by a higher faecal consistency and DM concentration and a smaller number of long particles in the faecal matter from the experiment with the steers (Reducing the Methane emissions).


Hempseed cake is a suitable alternative to soybean meal as a protein feed for growing cattle because hempseed cake gives similar growth and carcass traits as soybean meal. From the results with calves, there is an indication that hempseed cake gives a higher feed intake, similar growth and lower feed conversion compared to calves given soybean meal.

Hemp Seed Nutritional Value Page 11


The nutritional composition of a hemp seed is incredible! In it's perfect organic natural state hemp seed is considered by many to be the safest, most digestible, balanced, natural and complete source of protein, amino acids, and essential fats found anywhere in nature. Hemp seed is 33% protein, 35% essential fatty acid, (Omega 3, 6, 9 and GLA), contains all 9 essential amino acids, has 6.2 x more Omega-3 than raw tuna. Abundant source of GLA, rich in trace minerals and also High in dietary fiber
