Nutritious Hemp Seeds Are a Good Source of Protein
Hemp is all the buzz these days, and for good reason. It's a plant with literally thousands of uses. Hemp is used for clothing, to fuel, to paper and everything in between. It is a weed and capable of growing in many different conditions with little additional fertilizer or other inputs. Hemp is nutritious and can have medicinal properties.
Definitions
- Hemp is known by the Latin plant names as Cannabis sativa or Cannabis indica. There is not a clear botanical differentiation between the two species, despite some claims otherwise. And in modern times cross breeding has blurred the lines even more. Hemp is a cannabis plant that contains no detectable level of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) the ingredient that can make the user “high.”
- Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are found only in the seeds of the plant. Omega-3 is an essential fatty acid that cannot be made in the body, so it needs to be eaten.
- Industrial hemp is generally grown for its fiber (stems) and seeds. The plants are grown close to each other to promote tall stemmy fibrous plants with lots of seeds. It contains very little if any of the cannabinoids (CBDs) found in the leaves.
- Medicinal hemp is grown to enhance the leaf and bud growth, with high levels of CBD and no omega-3 or omega-6 fatty acids.

So which is better for your horse?
If you are looking for additional fuel (protein and fats) go with some hemp seeds or oil. You will get the benefit of the immune support and mild anti-inflammatory effects of the Omega’s fatty acids. If you are looking for significant help with joint support, or immune support, or to help normalize the inflammatory responses you may find that the CBD version does more. Joyce Harman, DVM
