What it is for. This oil is used as a sensory additive in feed and water for drinking, to provide a characteristic aromatic note. It is generally used for all animal species, in line with common practice for aromatic substances in formulation. An attached study (FEFANA asbl) illustrates its use and its safety evaluation by the FEEDAP panel, for long-living or reproductive animals and for short-living animals.
Points to watch. Additive from functional group 2b (aromatic substances), subject to specific regulation setting maximum contents depending on species and physiological stage. Inclusion levels should be checked against the official description and regulatory annex, which take precedence over any study illustration. As with any essential oil, variability in composition depending on origin and extraction process should be considered, along with suitable storage conditions.
