Hemp bran, also known as hemp peels, is a fiber-rich supplementary feed ideal for horses, ruminants, and dogs, particularly when included in a meat-based diet. It is especially beneficial for animals with excess weight or metabolic syndrome. For horses, hemp bran helps manage conditions such as colic, heat rash, and muscle stiffness.
This finely ground peel, containing remnants of the hemp seed kernel, is an excellent source of natural insoluble fiber. This fiber is essential for maintaining proper intestinal peristalsis (micro-movement), ensuring quality digestion and excretion. It also supports healthy intestinal flora, prevents constipation, and cleanses the digestive system of food residues.
The feed is rich in easily digestible proteins (13% content) and contains all 23 amino acids. Carbohydrates are mainly in the form of fiber (75% content), crucial for the growth and multiplication of beneficial microorganisms that aid in digestion and nutrient absorption.
Tested by us at Cannadorra
The large 20 kg pack of hemp bran is intended primarily for keepers of farm animals and horses who are looking for a natural and nutritious addition to their animals' feed. We mix the bran directly into the feed – it is rich in fibre, protein and minerals that naturally complement the animals' diet. The large pack is economical and lasts for a long time. There is no need to soak it.
We recommend starting with a smaller amount and gradually increasing it so the digestive system can adapt. With regular inclusion in the feed ration, we observe better coat condition, healthier digestion and overall vitality in the animals. Hemp bran is a natural by-product of hemp seed processing, so you know exactly what you are giving your animals.

Frequently asked questions about hemp bran, 20 kg
Here are answers to the questions animal owners ask most frequently.
What makes hemp bran special and how does it differ from hempseed cake?
Hemp bran is produced by finely grinding the shells of
hemp seeds and is an exceptionally
rich source of fibre (75%) – significantly more than hempseed cake. It also contains 13% protein and essential omega 3-6-9
fatty acids. Thanks to its high fibre content, it is ideal for supporting healthy digestion and metabolism. Hempseed cake, on the other hand, contains more protein and is therefore more suitable for supporting muscle growth and overall condition.
Which animals is hemp bran suitable for and what is it commonly used for?
Hemp bran is suitable for
all types of domestic and farm animals – horses, cows, sheep, goats, dogs and others. Animal owners use it mainly to support digestion, improve coat and skin quality, support vitality and
immunity and as a natural source of energy. One advantage is that animals can maintain good condition without unwanted weight gain, which is particularly appreciated for horses prone to excess weight.
How should hemp bran be dosed?
For horses weighing 500–600 kg, the recommended dose is 300–900 g per day (maximum dose), adjusted according to workload and condition. For other animals, the general guideline is 2 g of bran per 1 kg of body weight per day. Simply mix the bran into the existing feed ration. Always adjust the dose according to the breed, age and current condition of the animal. A 20 kg pack lasts approximately 40 days for a
horse receiving 500 g per day.
Can hemp bran be combined with hemp oil for animals?
Yes, combining hemp bran with hemp oil for animals is popular and the two products
complement each other – the bran provides fibre and supports digestion, while the oil supplies omega fatty acids and supports immunity and coat quality. Both products can be added directly to the feed ration. The product does not contain CBD or
THC – it is purely a feed supplement.
How should hemp bran be stored and how long does it last after opening?
Store in a cool, dark place at a maximum temperature of 16°C. Once opened, the product is suitable for internal feeding for up to 5 months. After this period, it is suitable for external use only. Hemp bran does not contain preservatives.
