Abstract

Hemp seed and flaxseed are a source of valuable substances, such as n-3 fatty acids or vitamin E, which increase the quality of products but also affect animal health. A new finding is an increase in bone strength in laying hens and chickens after feeding hemp seed. This fact can mitigate the risk of fractures in laying hens associated with the change of housing system from enriched cages to floor systems.
