Description
What it is. Hemp seed corresponds to seeds of Cannabis sativa L. varieties selected for a tetrahydrocannabinol content below 0.2 %, measured according to the regulatory quantification method. It is a raw material, not a processed derivative. Its characteristic composition combines fat and protein, consistent with this type of oilseed.
What it is for. Hemp seed is generally used as a source of fat and protein in feed formulas for various species. It is generally employed alongside other oilseeds, in contexts of diversifying lipid sources. Its use should be adapted according to species, physiological stage, and formulation objectives.
Points to watch. Regulatory compliance depends on meeting the tetrahydrocannabinol threshold set by the official description, verified using the applicable quantification method. Compositional variability between batches and varieties warrants regular analytical verification. Storage conditions must limit oxidation of the fat contained in the seed.
