Description
What it is. Essential oil obtained from the leaves and twigs of Eucalyptus globulus Labill. It is a sensory feed additive (functional group 2b, flavouring compound), identified by CAS 8000-48-4.
What it is for. This type of essential oil is generally used as a flavouring/aromatic additive to influence feed palatability and sensory characteristics. It would typically be considered for use across animal species and physiological stages, in complete feed or water for drinking. An EFSA opinion on eucalyptus oil as a sensory additive illustrates this type of use for all animal species.
Points to watch. As a group 2b aromatic substance, use must comply with the maximum authorised concentrations set per species and category in the relevant regulatory annex; these levels are not to be inferred from this summary. Natural variability of the essential oil composition and appropriate storage conditions should be taken into account.
