“…Furthermore, the inclusion of up to 30% hemp seed meal did not affect growth, egg production, and feed intake (Neijat et al 2014). However, the current study is similar to the results of Kasula et al (2021b), that there was a decrease in egg production, and feed e ciency with dietary 10% hempseed meal. We assumed that the hemp variety utilized in this study had a higher antinutrient content which exceeded the hens' tolerable limits.…”

Hemp seed meals contain high protein and unsaturated fatty acids which have the potential as a substitute for soybean meal and yield eggs rich in unsaturated fatty acids. Therefore, the study aimed to evaluate the impact of dietary hemp seed meal as a substitute for soybean meal protein on productive performances, egg quality, and yolk fatty acid composition. A total of 120 Lohmann Brown laying hens aged 50 weeks were separated into 4 groups and 10 repetitions with 3 birds each. Birds received treatment without hemp seed meal (control group), or soybean meal substituted with 4%, 8%, and 12% hemp seed meal. Dietary 4% hemp seed meal significantly increased (p < 0.05) feed efficiency and egg production compared to the 8% and 12% hemp seed meal group. Meanwhile, feed intake, egg weight, body weight loss, egg shape index, albumen index, albumen weight, Haugh unit, yolk weight, yolk index, and eggshell thickness had no significant influence (p > 0.05). However, dietary 8% and 12% hemp seed meal significantly increased (p < 0.05) eggshell weight and yolk color score compared to the control and 4% hemp seed meal group. There was a significant increase (p < 0.05) in omega-3 fatty acid levels and a significant decrease in yolk omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids ratio with an increase in dietary hemp seed meal. It concluded that dietary 4% hemp seed meal as soybean meal substitution was able to increase egg production, and feed efficiency compared to the level of 8% and 12% hemp seed meal. Increasing dietary levels of hemp seed meal increased eggshell weight, yolk color, and omega-3 fatty acids content, and decreased the omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids ratio.

“…Researchers from the European Monitoring Centre of Drug Addiction have reported that HSC may be fed safely to about 30% of the diet to hens (EFSA, 2011). It has been reported that the use of hemp seed up to 30%; up to 10% and up to 20% did not have adverse effects in laying hens (Kasula et al, 2021b).…”

Although the nutrient composition of hemp products provides evidence that these potentially serve as valuable livestock feed ingredients and may enhance human health, the cultivation of hemp was prohibited due to the high content of the Δ-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Recently, regulatory changes by several countries allowed the cultivation of industry hemp under a license that permits plants and plant parts of the genera Cannabis with a THC lower than 0.3%. The concern of a higher THC value still remains; thus, it is justified to test the nutritional and safety properties of Hemp Seed Cake (HSC) in animal feed. The objectives of this study were to determine the nutritional (proximate principles, minerals, amino acids and fatty acids), and safety properties (mycotoxin, heavy metals and cannabinoid profiles) of HSC and feed manufactured with the ingredient for use in animal feed. Three replicate samples of HSC and two replicate samples of each feed manufactured with 0, 10%, 20 and 30% of HSC were analyzed by reference laboratories for parameters identified under study objectives. The results of the nutritional values were consistent with published results. Similarly, the safety parameters were below the detectable levels and maximum legal levels. The results of this study confirm that HSC can safely be used as animal feed ingredient.

“…In addition, hemp seeds increased hen laying performance, such as the egg laying rate, as well as egg quality, namely, the average egg weight, eggshell strength, and the biochemical composition. Furthermore, Kasula et al [ 17 ] showed that laying hens fed hemp seedcake have a high polyunsaturated fatty acid content as well as no tetrahydrocannabinol or cannabinoid residues in eggs, internal organs, or body tissue indicating that there are no transfer cannabinoid residues in hens' fats. According to a survey conducted in Morocco [ 18 ], 80% of the participants thought that the availability of eggs fortified with n-3 would be interesting, and 74% stated that they would be willing to pay more for them than ordinary eggs.…”

The purpose of this study was to evaluate how cannabis-derived nonindustrial hemp seed (HS) inclusion in laying hen diets, as well as treatment duration, affected the fatty acid (FA) profile, cholesterol level, and tocopherol composition of egg yolks. Ninety-six ( n = 96 ) Lohmann Brown classic laying hens were randomly assigned to one of the four groups: control (standard diet) and HS-containing diets (10% HS, 20% HS, and 30% HS). The study was conducted for a period of 4 months. The findings demonstrated that the FA profile and the tocopherol composition are strongly impacted by the addition of HS to the diet of laying hens ( p < 0.05 ), but the cholesterol content remained unaffected. The increase in the dose of cannabis incorporated into the hen’s diet (HS-30% group) led to a significant increase in the amounts of the polyunsaturated fatty acids n-3 and n-6 content of egg yolk. This enrichment was accompanied by a considerable decrease in the n-6/n-3 ratio ( p < 0.001 ) from 8.19 to 4.88, on day 84 of the experiment. The total tocopherol content significantly increased ( p < 0.05 ) from 281.44 (control) to 327.02 μg/g yolk (HS-30%) on day 84. Finally, in the context of warfare, these seeds might be used as a feed additive for laying hens to produce higher nutritive value eggs with affordable prices.
