The Claim
In Lohmann Brown laying hens aged 50 weeks, dietary supplementation with 4% hemp seed meal (HSM) from the Narlı Sarayı variety is associated with increased egg production and improved feed conversion ratio compared to 8% and 12% HSM inclusion levels over a 6-week period, indicating a potential threshold for optimal performance.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Feeding 50-week-old brown laying hens a diet with 4% hemp seed meal might help them lay more eggs and use their feed more efficiently than giving them higher amounts like 8% or 12%.
