Description
What it is. Essential oil obtained from the fruit of Pimpinella anisum L. (anise), through an extraction process (distillation). It is a natural aromatic substance, used as a sensory additive in animal feed.
What it is for. This additive is intended to flavour feed and drinking water for poultry and equines. It is generally used for its flavouring properties, following the same principle as its use in human food. A study has illustrated use in laying hens, chickens and turkeys for fattening, as well as in horses, though these levels do not constitute a usage recommendation.
Points to watch. This is an aromatic substance from functional group 2b: its use must remain in line with the official additive description and the applicable regulatory annex. The composition of anise oil may show natural variability linked to botanical origin and extraction process; particular attention is given to product stability and storage conditions.
