Meet the New Feed Supplement Your Hens Will Love: Hempseed Cake Crumbles

Laying hens put a lot of energy into producing eggs, and their nutritional needs change throughout the seasons and peak egg production periods. While a complete layer feed provides the foundation of their diet, many chicken owners look for natural ways to provide extra nutrients that support overall wellness, activity, and egg production.

That’s where Hempseed Cake Crumbles come in. Our newest feed supplement is an all-natural, protein-rich option for chicken owners looking for a supplement made with real ingredients that support their laying hens from within. Get to know Hempseed Cake Crumbles and discover why it’s the feed supplement your coop has been missing.

What are hempseed cake crumbles?

Hempseed Cake Crumbles are a protein-rich feed supplement for laying hens made from hempseed cake, the coproduct of Green Fox’s hemp seed oil cold pressing process. Hemp seeds are naturally high in plant protein, fiber, and omegas, and even when we press our Minnesota grown hemp seeds for oil, all the natural nutrients are left in the hempseed cake. We then crumble the hempseed cake, making it an easy-to-feed supplement for your folk.

Unlike other feed supplements and add-ons, our Hempseed Cake Crumbles are packed with plant protein and free of additives or fillers. Hempseed Cake Crumbles are intended to be fed as a supplement to laying hens alongside a complete layer feed. Crumbles should be no more than 20% of total feed.

Why do laying hens need a feed supplement?

During peak egg production, laying hens are working around the clock to produce quality eggs. If their feed isn’t replenishing the nutrients they are actively using, egg production, quality, and energy in your laying hens can decrease. Which is why so many owners choose to add a feed supplement to their complete layer feed, especially during summer egg production! A protein-rich feed supplement like Green Fox Hempseed Cake Crumbles adds extra protein, fiber, and omegas to laying hens’ diets ensuring they are getting quality nutrients that support recovery and egg production.

the nutritional benefits of hempseed cake

There are 3 main nutritional benefits of Hempseed Cake Crumbles for laying hens: protein, fiber, and omega fatty acids. Here is why balancing and boosting your hens’ feed with real, nourishing ingredients is so important.

Protein

Laying hens have high nutritional demands. Producing eggs requires energy and a steady supply of quality protein, making it one of the most important nutrients in their diet.

Protein provides the amino acids hens need to support:

• Healthy muscles
• Daily activity and energy
• Normal egg production

Adding a plant-based protein feed supplement to your flock's diet can help provide extra nutritional support, especially during peak egg production.

Fiber

A healthy digestive system plays a major role in your flock's overall health. Fiber helps keep the digestive tract functioning properly, allowing hens to better utilize the nutrients they receive from their feed.

Dietary fiber helps:

• Support healthy digestion
• Promote gut health
• Encourage normal digestive function
• Improve nutrient utilization

By supporting digestive wellness, fiber helps hens make the most of every meal while contributing to their overall health.

Omega Fatty Acids

Hempseed Cake Crumbles also contain naturally occurring omega fatty acids, an important part of a balanced diet for poultry.

Omegas help support:

• Overall wellness
• Healthy feather condition
• Normal immune function

Choosing a feed supplement with naturally occurring omegas is one more way to help your laying hens keep thriving so they can keep producing.

Providing your hens with better nutrition better equips them to produce high quality eggs. When laying hens receive a balanced diet with the protein, fiber, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals they need, they're able to support normal egg production while maintaining their own health. While nutrition is only one piece of the puzzle, providing your flock with wholesome, nutrient-rich ingredients helps create the foundation for healthy birds that can consistently produce the fresh, nutritious eggs your family enjoys.
