Abstract

Industrijska konoplja je biljka koja sadrži više od 100 podtipova fitokanabinoida. Kanabidiol
(CBD) je najzastupljeniji kanabinoid u konoplji. On nema psihoaktivno djelovanje na
organizam, a ima širok raspon farmakološkog djelovanja na životinjski organizam. Osim
farmakološkog djelovanja, konoplja je zanimljiva i zbog visoke nutritivne vrijednosti. Cilj ovog
diplomskog rada bilo je pokušati obraditi sve mogućnosti korištenja industrijske konoplje u
hranidbi kućnih ljubimaca te njezinih utjecaja na životinjski organizam. Konoplja se kao jedna
od najstarijih kultiviranih biljaka koristi već dugo vremena. Ipak njena primjena u
biomedicinskom području se tek relativno nedavno popularizirala zbog svih njenih poznatih,
ali i nekih novootkrivenih pozitivnih svojstava. Kad je prehrana životinja u pitanju, u prvi plan
pri korištenju industrijske konoplje stavlja se ulje koje se dobiva iz sjemenki konoplje.
Sjemenke konoplje bogate su esencijalnim masnim kiselinama kao što su omega-3 i omega-6
masne kiseline, ali i esencijalnim aminokiselinama od kojih su najzastupljenije metionin,
cistein, arginin te glutaminska kiselina. Takva spoznaja otvara nam mogućnost primjene
industrijske konoplje kao zamjene animalnim bjelančevinama koje smo do sad najčešće koristili
u hranidbi kućnih ljubimaca. Korištenje animalnih bjelančevina se već neko vrijeme ne smatra
dugoročno održivim pa se javlja potreba za nekim novim, alternativnim oblicima koje bismo
implementirali u svakodnevnu prehranu kućnih ljubimaca.

Abstract (english)

Industrial hemp is a plant that contains more than 100 subtypes of phytocannabinoids.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is the most common cannabinoid in hemp. It has no psychoactive effect on
the organism and has a wide range of pharmacological effects on the animal organism. In
addition to its pharmacological effects, hemp is also interesting because of its high nutritional
value. The goal of this thesis was to try to process all the possibilities of using industrial hemp
in pet nutrition and its effects on animal organisms. As one of the oldest cultivated plants, hemp
has been used for a long time. However, its application in the biomedical field has only recently
become popular because of all its known, but also some newly discovered positive
characteristics. When it comes to animal nutrition, the oil derived from hemp seeds is the most
popular way of using hemp. Hemp seeds are rich in essential fatty acids such as omega-3 and
omega-6 fatty acids, but also essential amino acids, such as methionine, cysteine, arginine, and
glutamic acid. This finding opens up the possibility of using industrial hemp as a protein
substitute in pet nutrition, where we mainly use animal proteins. The use of animal proteins has
not been considered sustainable for quite some time, so there is a need for some new, alternative
forms that we would implement in the daily diet of pets.
