Hemp Seeds - Feed Ingredient

Hemp Seeds are the small, oil-rich seeds of the Cannabis sativa plant. These seeds are non-psychoactive and contain negligible levels of THC. In equine nutrition, hemp seeds may be included whole, hulled, or ground, and are valued for their nutrient-dense profile.

Hemp seeds are a rich source of plant-based protein, essential fatty acids (particularly omega-3 and omega-6), and various vitamins and minerals, including magnesium, phosphorus, and vitamin E. They are used in feed and supplement formulations to contribute both energy and high-quality protein. However, the digestibility of hemp seed protein in horses has not been thoroughly studied, and its bioavailability remains uncertain.
