K-State To Study Industrial Hemp As Animal Feed...


MANHATTAN, Kan. (WIBW) - Kansas State University is among the first to research and analyze the safety of industrial hemp being used as cattle feed.

Kansas State University says a pair of studies are highlighting the use of industrial hemp in cattle feed to farmers and producers.

According to K-State, after the 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp production in the U.S., interest in using industrial hemp as an agricultural commodity and feed for animals has grown. It said the FDA approval through the Association of Amercian Feed Control Officials would be required before it could be used to feed livestock or pets.

“Industrial hemp is typically grown to produce oil, seed, fiber and medicines,” said Michael Kleinhenz, assistant professor of beef production medicine. “While varieties of hemp may be planted for a single or dual purpose, such as for seed and fiber, byproducts consisting of leaves, fodder and residual plant fibers remain after harvest. These byproducts could serve as potential feedstuffs for animals. Because these are predominantly cellulose-containing plant materials, the ideal species for utilizing these feeds are ruminant animals, specifically cattle.”
