Hemp Seed Meal achieves historic approval through AAFCO and FDA-CVM
By Hemp Feed Coalition
The Hemp Feed Coalition announces the approval of the Tentative Definition of Hemp Seed Meal for laying hens as a protein and fat source in the AAFCO Official publication.
Hemp Feed Coalition (HFC) a 501 C-3 dedicated to obtaining federal approval for the use of hemp grain products in animal feed, is pleased to announce a landmark achievement with the tentative approval of Hemp Seed Meal (HSM) for Laying Hens at the recent Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) Annual Meeting in San Antonio, TX. With FDA-Center for Veterinary Medicine’s (FDA-CVM’s) recommendation for approval, the Ingredient Definition Committee and AAFCO Board’s prior approval, the final step in the process was the vote at the General Meeting on Wednesday, August 7, 2024. 48 states voted to approve the definition; 2 states abstained from voting. With this approval, the tentative definition will be adopted into the Official Publication later this year, and allowable for commercial use immediately. This historic milestone has been three plus years in the making and will allow processors to formulate with HSM in diets of laying hens as a source of protein and fat at an inclusion of no more than 20%. To see the ingredient definition in its entirety, please visit the HFC website here at www.hempfeedcoalition.org.
