Description
What it is. Extract obtained from the fruits/seeds of milk thistle (Silybum marianum, syn. Carduus marianus), a plant material used as a feed flavouring. It is classified as a sensory additive, functional group 2b, flavouring compounds.
What it is for. As a flavouring substance, it is generally used to influence feed palatability and intake. It would typically be incorporated into compound feed at the formulation stage, across species, as part of a flavouring programme rather than for a targeted nutritional effect.
Points to watch. As a botanical extract, composition and active content may vary with plant origin and extraction process. Use must comply with the conditions set for flavouring substances in the applicable regulatory entry; no maximum inclusion level is specified here. Store under conditions protecting against moisture and light to preserve organoleptic properties.
