Hempseed Meal Approved for Inclusion in Laying Hen Diets

Hempseed Meal Approved for Inclusion in Laying Hen Diets

The Hemp Feeds Coalition announces major progress in the effort to gain approvals for hemp derivatives in animal feeds.  The FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine (FDA CVM) has recommended approval of hempseed meal for laying hens, which prompted the American Association of Feed Control Officials to take up the issue at their mid-year meeting this week.

With FDA-CVM’s recommendation for approval, the Ingredient Definition Committee approved the hempseed meal tentative definition yesterday with no opposition. This will go before AAFCO’s Board and members for final approval, and then be adopted into the Official Publication later this year.
