Description
What it is. Palmitoylethanolamide is a lipid organic compound naturally present in soy lecithin, eggs and other feed material sources. In animal feed, it is obtained by synthesis, from the reaction of palmitic acid with ethanolamine. It is classified as a feed material in the feed materials catalogue (Miscellaneous chapter).
What it is for. This type of lipid compound is generally used for its saturated fatty acid profile, in targeted formulations. Precise use by species and physiological stage is not documented in the available sources; it would be advisable to refer to supplier recommendations and usual formulation practices for this type of substance. Constituents to be declared include crude fat, and moisture content if it exceeds 2%.
Points to watch. Declaration of moisture content is required only if it exceeds 2%, as well as crude fat declaration. No maximum use level is set in the available sources; refer to applicable regulations and the supplier's technical data sheet before use. Compositional variability linked to the synthesis process warrants attention to batch traceability.
