“…However, there is less research on Cannabis varieties as a viable feed for ruminants than there is for non-ruminant species. Therefore, information on the effects of this potential form of nourishment on carcass characteristics, fat deposition, growth performance, and milk production is very limited [ 34 ]. As part of this discussion, due to the lack of reports on the impact of hemp essential oils on rumen fermentation and methane production, we focused on the impact of hemp by-product supplementation on ruminants.…”

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of essential oils (EOs) extracted from Cannabis sativa L. and Cannabis indica Lam. on in vitro ruminal fermentation characteristics, selected rumen microbial populations, and methane production. GC-MS analyses allowed us to identify 89 compounds in both EOs. It was found that E-β-caryophyllene predominated in C. sativa (18.4%) and C. indica (24.1%). An in vitro (Ankom) test was performed to analyse the control and monensin groups, as well as the 50 µL or 100 µL EOs. The samples for volatile fatty acids (VFAs), lactate, and microbiological analysis were taken before incubation and after 6 and 24 h. The application of EOs of C. indica resulted in an increase in the total VFAs of acetate and propionate after 6 h of incubation. The applied EOs had a greater impact on the reduction in methane production after 6 h, but no apparent effect was noted after 24 h. Lower concentrations of C. sativa and C. indica had a more pronounced effect on Lactobacillus spp. and Buryrivibrio spp. than monensin. The presented findings suggest that C. sativa and C. indica supplementation can modify ruminal fermentation, the concentrations of specific volatile fatty acids, and methane production.

“…Nonetheless, many of the observed responses in studies incorporating oilseed industry BPs might be associated with variations in chemical composition of experimental and control diet (presented in Supplementary Table S1). Altman, et al [79] suggested that the directly proportional changes in milk FA composition may be more linked to differences in fat supplementation rates in the treatment diets rather than representing a novel effect of BP supplementation. Nevertheless, the gathered results suggest the potential value of oilseed industry BPs, further leading to the conclusion that the use of BPs in ruminant nutrition should not be neglected.…”

Milk contains more than 400 different fatty acids, some of which play a positive role in promoting human health. The profile of fatty acids in milk can be enhanced by providing animals with plant-based resources that possess feeding characteristics adequate for favorable changes in the fatty acid composition and increasing healthy fatty acids in milk. This review summarizes the available 41 research studies on the utilization of oilseed industry byproducts rich in linoleic acid (hemp, pumpkin, sunflower) and alpha-linolenic acid (camelina and linseed) in dairy cow, sheep, and goat nutrition; their impact on milk production characteristics; and potential to improve fatty acid composition of milk through the diet. This review illustrates that incorporating byproducts into the diet for dairy ruminants generally does not have any adverse effects on both milk production and composition. A similar trend of improvement in milk fatty acid profile was observed when ruminants were fed diets supplemented with camelina, linseed, and sunflower byproducts, while no significant changes were noted with pumpkin byproducts. Hempseed byproducts showed potential for use as an alternative ingredient in dairy ruminant diets. Nevertheless, more in-depth research investigating the inclusion of selected byproducts is required before valid conclusions can be drawn regarding their value.

The adaptation of lignocellulosic materials such as Cannabis sativa L. as a new renewable energy source is linked to the fact that the technology must be developed to be able to adapt to local market conditions. Bioenergy consumers are faced with this problem because, when it comes to the selection of briquettes and pellets for energy production, there are only individual standards in place. This research is intended to provide a better understanding of hemp product potential as a new material that can be used in the production of pellets and briquettes for biofuel purpose. Nevertheless, the anisotropic raw material interferes with the compaction process and may expose a poor durability of the pellets and briquettes. The research that was conducted evaluated the conditions of the biofuels by measuring the physical and chemical parameters. The ash content, compressive strength, and durability of the samples were examined. The statistical data analysis was performed after the strength tests on the prepared samples.
