The impact of feeding with industrial hemp seed cake on teh production indicators of brojlers

Industrijska konoplja je biljka koja je u potpunosti iskoristiva te se od nje stvaraju vrlo kvalitetni nusproizvodi. Jedan od nusproizvoda koji nastaje prilikom proizvodnje hladno prešanog ulja konoplje je pogača industrijske konoplje koja se koristi u hranidbi domaćih životinja. Pogača industrijske konoplje bogata je proteinima, energijom, masnim kiselinama, vitaminima i mineralima. Kao dodatak u hrani životinja poboljšava metabolizam i apsorpciju ostalih hranjivih tvari. U hranidbi životinja dovodi do poboljšanja kardiovaskularnog sustava, pozitivno djeluje na probavni sustav, smanjuje upale u organizmu te povećava imunitet kod životinja. Istraživanje je provedeno s ciljem utvrđivanja učinka primjene pogače industrijske konoplje na piliće tijekom 42 dana. Pilići su bili podijeljeni u tri skupine hranjene sa 6% i 12% pogače industrijske konoplje u smjesi. Praćena je masa pilića u dobi od tri tjedna i sedam tjedana starosti te prirast pilića od početka pokusnog tova do trećeg tjedna kao i od trećeg tjedna do sedmog tjedna. Istraživanje je pokazalo da dodavanje pogače industrijske konoplje ne utječe negativno na masu i prirast.Industrial hemp is a fully usable plant and gives high quality by-products. One of the by-products that results from the production of cold-pressed hemp oil is the industrial hemp cake used in the feeding of farm animals. Industrial hemp cake is rich in protein, energy, fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. In addition to animal feed, it improves metabolism and absorption of other nutrients. In animal nutrition it leads to improvement of the cardiovascular system, has a positive effect on the digestive system, reduces inflammation in the body and increases animal immunity. The study was conducted to determine the effect of application of industrial hemp cake on chickens over 42 days. The chickens were divided into three groups fed 6% and 12% of the industrial hemp cake in the animal food mixture. A weight of chicken was monitored at week three and week seven of age, and the chicken weight gain from the start of the fattening period until week three and from week three to the week seven. Research has shown that the addition of industrial hemp cake does not adversely affect weight and weight gain
