At Hemptana, we’re dedicated to pushing the boundaries of agricultural innovation while staying true to sustainability, quality, and animal health. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce the launch of our Optimal Omega Laying Hen Feed—the first of its kind to include hemp seed meal (HSM) as a key ingredient!

Hemp seed meal has recently achieved a monumental milestone in the feed industry, receiving tentative approval from the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) and the FDA-Center for Veterinary Medicine (FDA-CVM) as a protein and fat source for laying hens. This groundbreaking development means we can finally bring the benefits of hemp to your flock—legally and with full confidence in its safety and nutritional value.

Hemp seed meal is more than just an alternative feed ingredient—it’s a nutritional powerhouse packed with essential vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, and a complete protein profile. Studies confirm that incorporating hemp into poultry diets enhances egg quality, increases levels of essential fatty acids (ALA, DHA, and GLA) in eggs, and boosts lutein content, a key nutrient for human eye health.

In addition to superior nutrition, hemp seed meal is:

• Sustainably farmed—requiring fewer inputs and offering soil-health benefits
• A natural source of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids
• Non-GMO and free of artificial additives
• A cleaner, healthier alternative to traditional feed sources

For those raising laying hens, Optimal Omega Laying Hen Feed offers a safe, research-backed, and highly effective way to improve egg quality while promoting a more sustainable farming system. With this new approval, feed mills and poultry farmers alike can confidently incorporate hemp seed meal into their operations without regulatory concerns.

"Hemp's integration into animal feed is a catalyst for agricultural advancement. It's an opportunity for farmers to diversify with lower risk and for supply chains to become more sustainable." – Andrew Bish, President of the Hemp Feed Coalition

We believe that healthy hens lay the best eggs, and we’re excited to bring this innovative feed to farms across the country. Whether you’re a small backyard flock owner or a large-scale egg producer, Hemptana’s Optimal Omega Laying Hen Feed is the future of poultry nutrition.
