Despite the significant interest
for hemp or hemp-derived products, they are not recognized as legal feed
ingredients. In a recent memorandum,
the Idaho State Department of Agriculture (ISDA) said that effective Nov. 1, it
will be inspecting for hemp and hemp-derived products in commercial animal
feeds and animal remedies (i.e., supplements). These products are illegal in
Idaho and if found on or after Nov. 1, will be subject to a stop sale and
further action from the department. The AFIA supports ISDA’s actions on this
issue, as it is one step toward ensuring these products do not end up in
adulterated animal feed until found as approved ingredients.
