The United States: Feeding Hemp

Tridge summary

A study by Kansas State University's Michael Kleinhenz has found that feeding cattle industrial hemp can help reduce stress and inflammation in the animals. The study indicated that hemp feeding led to lower cortisol and inflammatory marker levels in cattle, and also increased the amount of time the animals spent lying down for rumination. The research also noted that repeated doses of high cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) from hemp did not result in cannabinoid accumulation in the blood. Kleinhenz emphasized the need for further research to determine if hemp-derived cannabinoids can effectively alter stress response in cattle during key periods like transportation and weaning.

Feeding cattle industrial hemp may be a future solution for times of stress. A new study from Kansas State University (KSU) researcher Michael Kleinhenz looks at some of the positive effects the management strategy could have. The benefits Kleinhenz reported after feeding cattle industrial hemp came largely in the areas of stress reduction, with the researcher noting that data shows cannabinoids fed via industrial hemp decreased the stress hormone cortisol and inflammatory biomarkers in cattle. "Hemp may be a natural way to decrease stress and inflammation related to production practices such as transportation and weaning," he said. Feeding hemp also seems to increase the amount of time cattle lie down when they ruminate and produce saliva, according to the report. The KSU researchers found that repeated daily doses of high cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) via feeding hemp did not result in an accumulation of cannabinoids in the blood. "If hemp is to be utilized as an ingredient in the ...
