What it is for. As a functional group 2b sensory additive, it is generally used to modify or reinforce the odour and taste profile of feed. It is authorised for all animal species and must be incorporated into feed via a premix.
Points to watch. The additive label must state a recommended maximum content of 5 mg of active substance per kg of complete feed at 12% moisture; if the premix dose leads to exceeding this level, the functional group, identification number, name and added quantity must be stated on the label.
