  1. Assessment of the Safety and Efficacy of Hemp for Poultry Diets J.D. House, E. Goldberg, N. Gakhar, M. Aliani Department of Human Nutritional SciencesUniversity of Manitoba 2011 CHTA National Hemp Convention

  2. Outline • Current Status of Hemp Use in Livestock Rations • Canada • European Union • Preliminary Studies with Laying Hens • Canadian Agriculture Adaptation Program Grant • Partnership between CHTA and University of Manitoba • Develop data in support of safety and efficacy of hemp for poultry rations 2011 CHTA National Hemp Convention

  3. Hemp Products:Food and Feed Ingredients Hemp Seed Hemp Oil Hemp Nuts House et al., 2010. J. Agric. Food Chem.58: 11801-11807

  4. Fatty Acid Profile of Hemp Oil Varietal differences in Fatty Acid Content of Hemp. Przybylski, R. Unpublished

  5. Alpha-Linolenic Acid Content of Plant Oils

  6. Amino Acid Composition ofHemp Seed (mg/g Protein) House et al., 2010. J. Agric. Food Chem.58: 11801-11807

  7. Hemp as a Feed IngredientSummary • Whole hemp seed offers high protein and energy content, making it attractive from a feed formulation standpoint • High levels of ALA offer potential for hemp seed and oil to be used for the production of omega-3 eggs and meat • Challenge: • Hemp is not an approved feed ingredient in Canada 2011 CHTA National Hemp Convention

  8. Excerpt from the Regulatory Guidance (RG-1) – Canadian Food Inspection Agency “In Canada, livestock feeds are regulated, as per the federal Feeds Act and Regulations, by the CFIA. All single ingredient feeds manufactured, sold or imported into Canada must be approved and listed in either Schedule IV or Schedule V of the Feeds Regulations. At the present time, hemp products are not approved as livestock feed ingredients in Canada. Each hemp product intended to be used as a livestock single ingredient feed (e.g., hemp meal, hemp oil, seeds) will require separate approval.” http://www.inspection.gc.ca/english/anima/feebet/regdir/regdire.shtml

  9. Process for Registration of Hemp Seed Products • Regulatory Guidance Process Administrative information • Labeling • Ingredient Description • Ingredient Composition • Manufacturing Process • Safety Data Requirements • Efficacy Data Requirements • Minimum of 3 studies required http://www.inspection.gc.ca/english/anima/feebet/regdir/sect3_10e.shtml

  13. Situation in Europe 2011 CHTA National Hemp Convention

  14. Towards Registration in Canada • Safety and Efficacy Studies • Funding from the following is committed to addressing the need for data: • Canadian Hemp Trade Alliance • Poultry Industry Council • Manitoba Innovation, Energy and Mines STIC Fund • Canadian Agriculture Adapation Program (AAFC) 2011 CHTA National Hemp Convention

  15. Studies to Date 2011 CHTA National Hemp Convention

  16. Study Design • 48 Bovan hens • 19 weeks of age • Housed in individual metabolism cages for 12 weeks • Wheat/Barley/Soy-based diets • Formulated to meet hen requirements Control 48 Bovan hens (19 weeks) Hempseed oil(4, 8, 12%) Hempseed(10, 20%)

  17. Study Design • Measurements • Production • Egg quality • Fatty acid analysis • Indices of bird health and welfare • Sensory analysis of cooked eggs

  18. Results – Hemp Seed (HS) 2011 CHTA National Hemp Convention

  19. Results – Hemp Oil (HO) 2011 CHTA National Hemp Convention

  20. ResultsOmega-3 Fatty Acids 2011 CHTA National Hemp Convention

  21. Sensory Evaluation • Sensory analysis conducted with trained panel • Cooked egg product • Attributes included aroma and flavour • No significant differences on sensory parameters due to hemp inclusion 2011 CHTA National Hemp Convention

  22. Next Steps • Complete studies with laying hens • Initiate and complete studies with broiler chickens • Project completion: March 31, 2014. 2011 CHTA National Hemp Convention
