Organic matter is converted into a variety of fuels, including potential replacements for transport fuels. New sources raw materials are being sought their acquisition. One such material that currently attracting growing degree attention hemp. The objective this study was to produce biodiesel from hemp oil ascertain its selected properties and compare them with the obtained rapeseed diesel fuel. A reactor designed non-industrial, local conversion available fatty acid esters used manufacture biodiesel. were evaluated in comparison those biodiesel, fuel, requirements set forth EN 14214 standard, pertaining specification methyl utilization compression-ignition internal combustion engines. kinematic viscosity value yielded just below upper limit defined standard. Furthermore, research has demonstrated contains considerable proportion linoleic linolenic acids, which susceptible oxidation. content ester produced clearly higher than oil. This contributes high iodine number, significantly exceeding standard requirements. remaining designated accordance laid down exhibit similarities Further recommended enhance characteristics

Incorporating of agro-industrial co-products into animal nutrition could represent an opportunity to lessen the environmental impact food production chain. One such co-product is a hempseed cake originating from cold pressing hemp seeds extract oil for human consumption. The aim present study was evaluate action in diet on male rabbit reproductive and some non-reproductive indexes. Male rabbits were fed either standard (control group; C; n = 10) or enriched with (experimental group E5 5% cake; 10, experimental E10 10% 100 kg milled complete feed mixture. Rabbit weight gain, sperm concentration, motility, progressive quality evaluated using CASA flow cytometry. Feeding cake, given at both tested concentrations, had no effect gain per week total average compared control (p > 0.05). Hempseed addition concentration ejaculate, motility Selected haematological biochemical indexes examined. showed positive tendencies hepatic profile parameters, while opposite, though within reference values. Based our results, negative effects feeding reproduction health status found, we can recommend use doses up rabbits. Therefore, decrease cost.
