In this project, we plan to feed broilers with increased doses of spent hemp biomass and evaluate the performance and residual of cannabinoids in meat. Further goals are the assessment of the effect on bone and feet and behavior
Broilers will be fed starting 2 weeks after birth with different doses of spent hemp biomass until slaughter. We will evaluate body weight and feed intake. At slaughter, we will measure all organs and collect meat samples for analysis of cannabinoid residuals and transcriptomic. The project was carried out in Spring 2022.
