Description
What it is. Thyme oleoresin obtained from Thymus vulgaris L. and T. zygis L. (CAS 8007-46-3). It is a concentrated plant extract rich in aromatic compounds characteristic of thyme, including thymol.
What it is for. This flavouring substance (functional group 2b) is generally used for its organoleptic profile, to standardise or enhance feed flavour. It would be used across various livestock species and stages, in line with common practices for incorporating aromatic additives. A study examined thyme essential oil supplementation in lactating dairy cows and its effect on raw milk microbiological quality; it illustrates a usage context but does not set a dosage reference.
Points to watch. As a group 2b substance, its use must comply with the regulatory framework specific to flavouring additives, with no numerical maximum level available in the sources provided. Oleoresin composition may vary depending on botanical origin and extraction process; storage away from light and heat is advised to preserve stability.
