🌱🎉 Hemp Receives AAFCO Feed Approval 🌱🎉 As of this morning, the full Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) membership approved Hemp Feed Coalition’s Ingredient Definition for Hemp Seed Meal for Laying Hens. https://lnkd.in/gDU7njsS This groundbreaking federal approval of a hemp feed ingredient is a major moment for the hemp industry as well as the health of our animals. Hemp seed meal offers incredible nutrition benefits, and its approval opens the floodgates for the use of hemp grain! Hemp Seed Meal (HSM) is a highly nutritious ingredient with a wide range of essential vitamins, minerals, and a complete protein profile with all 20 amino acids (and the 9 essential amino acids). Studies show as HSM increased in a hen's diet, egg quality improved significantly. Notably, hemp-fed hens lay eggs enriched with essential fatty acids such as ALA, DHA, and GLA, which are known to promote human health. Get yours today!! We are grateful to AAFCO members for recognizing the value of this new feed ingredient - extra thanks to AAFCO Ingredient Deffinition Committe Chair Erin Bubb (pictured here with Morgan Tweet, Andrew Bish (left) and Bill Bookout (right)) and Montana Department of Agriculture's Ingredient Investigator and AAFCO member Falina Hutchinson. Special thank you to HFC’s Board of Directors for their tenacity and efforts! Andrew Bish, Wendy Mosher, Justin Swanson, Bill Bookout, Ken Elliott, Dr Rajasekhar (Raj) Kasula, Thomas Nelis and HFC Executive Director Morgan Tweet (Elliott).

More excellent Hemp Feed Research - This review by Madhu Kamle et al. gives a great summary of the nutrition packed value of hemp seed AND viable feed applications. Hemp seeds have gained increased attention due to their multifaceted nutritional and pharmaceutical properties. Rich in protein, carbohydrates, polyunsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals, these seeds offer a valuable addition to food and feed supply chains. Regarding feed applications, “hempseed cake, generated after cold pressing, boasts a high protein concentration, making it a valuable feed for ruminants.” 🐄 The cake's adequate methionine and histidine levels, coupled with its high fiber content, make it suitable for improving digestibility in ruminants. Overall, hemp seed and its by-products present promising opportunities as nutritional and functional ingredients in feed formulations.

Popped down to DC for the #AgOnTheMall event to visit with Andrew Bish at the hemp booth representing the Hemp Feed Coalition. While I was there, also ran into Ken Elliott repping his best IND HEMP look. Saw lots of interested folks touring the hemp house and especially interested in the motorcycle. Finally saw the new Hemptana packaging in person and it looks good. Always a great day when talking hemp!

HFC is excited to highlight a hemp feed study published in February concerning Consumer Support for Hemp By-Products as Food and Feed. Thanks to the Drewery Lab at Texas A&M for their dedicated research. The study found higher consumer acceptance for using hemp by-products in animal feed compared to human food products. Respondents viewed hemp as an environmentally-friendly, sustainable crop. The results highlight opportunities for market growth contingent on targeted consumer education campaigns that address concerns and provide transparent labeling and safety assurances. Such efforts could boost confidence in hemp-derived products across food and feed applications.
