Hemp feed oil is a cold-pressed oil from hemp shells and sorting residue. It contains a lot of Omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids. It's a very popular feed source for poultry, equine, cattle, pigs, cows etc. A study with piglets concluded that. The hemp seed oil resulted in direct maternal supply with n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA), especially ALA and SDA, and piglets were able to convert these fatty acids obtained via the sow milk intake to C20:5n-3 and C22:5n-3. Furthermore, some interesting effects of the 5% hemp seed oil was obtained with regard to piglet initial body weight gain and glucose, which could be of interest for further research, i.e., the capability of hemp seed oil to benefit piglets during early life.
