TheAssociation of American Feed Control Officials(AAFCO) is urging the hemp and animal feed industries to continue researching hemp and hemp byproducts for use in animal feed and pet food.
AAFCO said that when data gathering on the products’ safety and efficacy is complete, it can formally define the various ingredients and provide standards for safe pet food and livestock feed with that information.
The products to be evaluated include whole hemp plants, hemp seed oil, CBD, and other cannabinoids.
“我们知道大麻行业渴望进入the animal food market, but we are concerned that not enough research has been completed on these products,” Susan M. Hays, AAFCO executive director toldFeed Strategy.
“That’s why we are urging the hemp industry to conduct appropriate research and submit their results to us for review as a normal step in our ingredient approval process.”
