Hemp Hulls and Hearts

HEMP HULLS AND HEARTS

Hemp hulls are the natural outer shells of the hemp seed, retained after the inner hearts are gently removed. The de-hulling process leaves part of the seed intact, creating a unique blend of hemp hulls and hearts. This nutrient-dense combination is naturally rich in fibre, quality plant protein and essential fatty acids, making it a valuable addition to a balanced diet.

Why Feed Hemp?

  • Naturally rich in protein and fibre
  • Non GMO, chemical and additive free
  • Supports digestion, gut health and blood sugar regulation
  • Naturally low in sugar and starch
  • Contains all 9 essential amino acids
  • Highly digested and often better tolerated than soy and pea protein
  • Excellent Omega 3 and 6 ratio (1:3) plus Omega 9
  • Contains naturally occurring anti- inflammatory compounds including GLA gamma-linolenic acid a unique omega-6 fatty acid

What is Hemp Rich in?

Magnesium - supports heart, nerve and muscle function

Iron - contributes to healthy red blood cell production

Zinc - supports immune function

Phosphorus - important for bone strength and energy metabolism

Vitamin E - a natural antioxidant

Omega 3 and 6 - anti-inflammatory properties and supports skin health

The Natural Choice?

Quality protein for muscle and topline - Hemp provides high-quality protein to support muscle development and a strong topline. It is naturally rich in branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) to aid muscle recovery, along with arginine and glutamic acid, which help support healthy circulation, gut function, and overall vitality.

Fibre for Hindgut Health - Hemp hulls and hearts are made up of a high amount of fibre (around 25%), primarily insoluble fibre. This promotes a steady release of non-heating energy, supports efficient digestion, and helps maintain a healthy, diverse population of beneficial microbes in the hindgut.

Complete Amino acid profile- Hemp contains all nine essential amino acids required by horses for protein synthesis. These amino acids are crucial for muscle development, repair, and recovery, particularly in working, growing or older horses. As horses cannot produce essential amino acids themselves, they must be supplied through the diet making hemp a valuable nutritional addition.

Naturally Balancing Omega Fatty Acids

Unlike single-oil supplements, hemp delivers all three families of omega fatty acids together in a naturally balanced ratio that complements a forage-based diet.

Hemp is naturally rich in essential fatty acids, providing a broad and effective spectrum often missing from other feeds:

  • Omega-3 (ALA & SDA): Helps reduce inflammation, support joint health, and promote a healthy, shiny coat.
  • Omega-6 (LA & GLA): Essential for immune function and maintaining healthy skin integrity.
  • Omega-9 (Oleic Acid): Supports metabolic health and overall wellbeing.
Potential Benefits of Hemp
  • Supports healthy skin and coat.
  • May assist joint mobility and anti-inflammatory response (due to omega-3s).
  • Encourages digestive health through natural fibre.
  • Provides a cool energy source (oil/fat-based calories rather than starch).
  • Can be fed to horses/ponies with metabolic issues or those intolerant to grains
  • Hemp Hulls and Hearts is GMO, chemical and additive free and UK produced.
