Hemp
Jersey cows
at the Ore-
gon State
University
Dairy Farm
in Corvallis
will be fed
hemp bio-
mass as part
of a research
study, and
their meat
and milk
will then be
tested for
residual can-
nabinoids
such as CBD
or THC.

But therein lies the challenge,
Bionaz said — hemp is not cur-
rently approved for animal feed
by the U.S. Food and Drug Ad-
ministration. He hopes their
research will generate the data
needed for the FDA to take that
next step.
“The more I study the plant,
the more I see data, I get more
enthused about it,” Bionaz said.
The idea for the study traces
back to 2019, when OSU first
established the Global Hemp
Innovation Center.
Jay Noller, the center direc-
tor, approached Serkan Ates, an
assistant professor specializing
in sustainable pasture manage-
ment, to discuss whether pro-
cessed hemp byproducts could
be fed to animals. Ates said he
was intrigued, and partnered
with Bionaz to examine the
product’s nutritional content.
What they found was hemp
biomass has roughly the same
protein content as alfalfa, and
roughly the same fiber content
as barley. In some attributes,
Ates said hemp was nutrition-
ally superior to the traditional
feeds.
“There was this great poten-
tial,” Ates said. “Many of the
livestock farmers, they are in-
terested in some sort of cheaper
feed source.”
With those traits in mind, the
team worked up several propos-
als and received more than 10
tons of donated biomass from
two Oregon-based extractors.
Last year, Ates fed the mate-
rial to lambs for two months.
Their diets included a mix of
10% and 20% hemp, along with
a control group.
One question, Ates said, was
whether the animals would
even eat hemp. Not only did

The suit claimed Aearo
knew about “dangerous design
defects” in 2000.
In a 2018 report, the Army
concluded that had the govern-
ment known about tests Aearo
had done in 2000 it may not
have purchased Combat Arms
earplugs. In the whistleblower
settlement, 3M paid a $9.1

they eat it, but he said the group
that was fed 10% hemp ate
more than any other group.
The lambs have since been
slaughtered, and their meat will
be lab tested for the presence of
residual cannabinoids such as
CBD or THC.
Those results, Ates said, will
be key for future FDA authori-
zation of hemp as animal feed.
A second trial, this time feed-
ing hemp to cows at the OSU
Dairy Farm in Corvallis, is set
to begin in late April. Similar
to the lamb study, the team will
feed hemp biomass to cows for
two months, and then test for
residual cannabinoids in the an-
imals’ milk and meat.
In announcing the USDA
grant for the project, Oregon
Sen. Ron Wyden said the re-
search could potentially be a big
win for farmers and ranchers
across the country.
“This OSU research will help
to continue building the case for
federal approval of hemp bio-
mass on cattle farms, making
a natural connection between
two signature Oregon products
— livestock and hemp,” Wyden
said.
Jenifer Cruickshank, who
works with OSU Extension Ser-
vice as the regional dairy faculty
for the Willamette Valley, said
she is also contacting ranchers
and consumers to gauge pub-
lic acceptance of consuming
products from animals fed with
hemp.
Cruickshank is working with
Juliana Ranches, another exten-
sion specialist at OSU’s Eastern
Oregon Agricultural Research
Center in Burns, to survey pro-
ducers. Their feedback will be
included as part of the overall
study.
When it comes to hemp, Ates
said they are only at the begin-
ning of what promises to be a
vast area of continued research.
“It is a super exciting research
area for all of us,” he said. “This
is a byproduct that has a high
potential, but it requires ex-
tensive research before it’s ap-
proved by the FDA and going
into the food chain.”
million penalty, but denied all
claims and did not admit lia-
bility.
At the heart of the MDL
case is the U.S. Army’s request
in 1999 to Aearo to shorten
the plugs so they would fit in a
standard-issue military carry-
ing case.
Tests in 2000 at Aearo’s Indi-
anapolis laboratory indicated
that the shorter earplug didn’t
always fit properly
3M claims it told the mil-
itary about the fitting issues,
and that the military was re-
sponsible for informing sol-
diers about the earplugs’
proper fit.
Plaintiffs claim the earplugs
leaked noise, damaging sol-
diers’ hearing. 3M said in a
statement that the “product
was not defectively or negli-
gently designed and did not
cause injuries.”
Suez Canal
Continued from A11
Part of the problem was
a five-day wait for two large
tugboats, according to Peter
Berdowski, chief executive
officer of Boskalis Westmin-
ster, the parent company of
the salvage team.
“We were enormously
helped by the strong tide, the
forces of nature that push
hard, even harder than the
two tugboats can pull,” he
told Dutch radio.
“The men were euphoric
of course. But there was a
tense moment when this gi-
ant was floating freely. You
need to bring it under con-
trol quickly with the tugboats
before it gets stuck on the
other side, we would have
gone from bad to worse.
Those were a tense 10 min-
utes.”
The Suez Canal Author-
ity said it could take around
a week to clear the lineup
of ships. On Monday eve-
ning, at least three ships were
on the move, according to
vessel- tracking data.

Egyptian authorities were
desperate to get traffic flow-
ing again through the water-
way that’s a conduit for about
12% of world trade and about
1 million barrels of oil a day.
This has been the canal’s lon-
gest closure since it was shut
for eight years following the
1967 Six Day War.
Firms were forced to re-
route their ships via the
southern tip of Africa, which
can add two weeks onto a
journey between Europe and
Asia. At least one ship ap-
peared to do a double U-turn
on Monday as news of the
salvage operation emerged.
The long-term impact
of the canal’s $10-billion-
per-day closure will likely
be small given that global
merchandise trade amounts
to $18 trillion a year. Yet so
many ships being thrown
off schedule will ensure
cargo delays for weeks, if not
months. The dozen or so
container carriers that con-
trol most of the world’s ocean
freight are already charging
record-high rates on some
routes, and shortages of ev-

“The dominoes have been
toppled,” Lars Jensen, chief
executive of SeaIntelligence
Consulting in Copenhagen,
wrote on social media over
the weekend. “The delays
and re-routing which have
already happened will cause
ripple effects” which will be
felt for several months.
Companies from Ikea to
Caterpillar Inc. flagged po-
tential impacts, and tens of
thousands of live animals are
stuck on ships in the area.
Consumer goods, indus-
trial inputs and commod-
ities from oil to coffee are
caught up in the jam, with
Asian exporters and Euro-
pean importers affected most
directly.
The blockage held up
about $400 million an hour,
based on rough calculations
from Lloyd’s List that sug-
gested westbound traffic to
Europe is worth around $5.1
billion a day and eastbound
traffic is approximately $4.5
billion.
