Since 2006, there has been an EU-wide ban on the use of antibiotics as performance-enhancing feed additives. The goal is to reduce the use of antibiotics overall and, as a result, the development of antibiotic resistance.In light of this, as well as of the mounting pressure to improve product quality and a greater focus on ani-mal welfare, the use of natural additives is on the rise. These additives can improve or change, for example, the organoleptic or visual properties of a feed.This can improve the product’s palatability. Dyes are another sensory feed additive, and can enhance the colour of decorative fish and/or birds.

Additives can also improve a feed’s digestibility so that the animal can make better use of the individual nutrients in the feed.Another reason why the use of additives in the feed industry is increasing is to improve the storage properties of feeds. Some additives, for example, have an anti-oxidative effect, which can prolong the feed’s shelf life.

Oleoresins are colouring or flavouring extracts. They take the form of viscous pastes. Oleoresins can be made from various parts of plants, such as seeds, roots, leaves and fruits.

The term oleoresin comes from oleo, which refers to the essential oils contained in practically all oleoresins, and resin, which refers to the resins, waxes and secondary substances.

The waxes and soluble resins serve as a natural binder for volatile content. Other components may include fatty oils, spices, and pigments that can give the oleoresin its colourant properties.

Oleoresins have a high concentration of odorous and flavouring substances, meaning the desired effect can be achieved using small quantities of oleoresin. They also have a high microbiological standard and can be individually standardised.

Paprika oleoresin is extracted from the skin of either red paprika (Capsicum annuum L.) or red chilli pepper (Capsicum frutescens C.), both of which are primarily grown in China and India.

Paprika oleoresin contains carotenoids like capsanthin and capsorubin, which give the product its natural colouring.

The oleoresin is mainly used as a colourant and flavouring addi-tive in the feed segment, for example to dye fish feed.

We obtain paprika oleoresin directly from the source and can ad-just the level of colourant in house to meet your needs.

Capsicum oleoresin is a natural, oil-soluble spicy seasoning that is obtained from the dried fruit of the red chilli pepper (Capsicum frutescens L./ Capsicum annuum L.).

The compounds that give the oleoresin its spicy flavour are called capsaicinoids. They contain capsaicin as well as dihydrocapsai-cin and norhydrocapsaicin.

We would be happy to adjust the capsaicinoid content to your specifications to achieve your desired level of spiciness.

As it contains the spicy substance capsaicin, capsicum oleoresin is purported to increase the release of digestive enzymes and thus improve digestibility and nutrient absorption.

Rosemary oleoresin is produced by means of extraction from rosemary leaves. Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) belongs to the mint family of flowering plants (Lamiaceae). It is grown in India and Morocco, among other places.

An important component of rosemary oleoresin is carnosic acid (8–16%), which can be used as a natural antioxidant.

The use of antioxidants reduces the level of free radicals in feed, thus having a positive impact on animal nutrition. It can also positively influence meat quality, since it enhances the level of vitamin E content in the tissue.

Essential oils are volatile, intensely odorous chemical compounds with an oily consistency. They vaporise without a residue and are either insoluble or slightly soluble in water. They are mixtures of 20 to 200 indi-vidual compounds. In essential oils, the predominant class of compounds is that of terpenes.

Essential oils are standardised. Because of their high concentration, they have the advantage that they can be used in small quantities without this having an overpowering effect on the feed. They can also improve the taste and smell of product, which increases feed consumption.

Eucalyptus oil is made from the leaves of the eucalyptus tree (Eucalyptus globulus labill) using steam distillation. Eucalyptus belongs to the myrtle family of shrubs and trees (Myrtaceae).

The main constituent of the oil is cineole (70–100%).

Thanks to its intense, fresh flavour, eucalyptus can encourage greater feed consumption

Fennel oil is made from the mature seeds of bitter fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill. var. vulgare) using steam distillation. Fennel belongs to the umbellifer (Apiaceae) family of flowering plants and is grown around the world as a vegetable, herb and medicinal plant.

Bitter fennel oil consists mainly of trans-anethols (67–75%) and fenchone (12–15%).

The positive effect of fennel oil on the digestive organs may cause the feed to stay in animals’ stomachs longer, thus improv-ing feed conversion.

Currently the antimicrobial effect has only been documented in vitro. In feed, it could have the effect of stabilising feed hygiene.

Due to its anti-oxidative properties, fennel oil is thought to act as a free-radical scavenger. It is believed to protect the feed from oxidative changes.

Lavender oil is made from the fresh flowers or inflorescences of lavender (Lavandula angustifolia Mill.) using steam distil-lation. Lavender belongs to the mint family of flowering plants (Lamiaceae).

Lavender is native to the coastal regions of the Mediterranean. Today the largest producers of lavender are France and India.

Lavender oil is mainly comprised of linalyl acetate (40–50%) and linalool (25–30%).

Lavender oil is also known to have an insect-repelling effect, meaning that it can be used as a repellent in stalls.

Clove leaf oil is made from the dried leaves of the clove tree (Syzygium aromaticum L.) using steam distillation. The clove tree belongs to the myrtle family of shrubs and trees (Myrtaceae).

The main compound in clove leaf oil is eugenol (80–90%). It also contains beta-caryopheyllene (9–11%).

The eugenol contained in the oil is purported to have an antimi-crobial effect.

In addition, eugenol has an anti-oxidative effect, meaning that it can be used as an antioxidant in feed.

Oregano oil is made from Origanum vulgare L. using steam distillation. Oregano belongs to the mint family of flowering plants (Lamiaceae).

The main compound in the oil is carvacrol (60–65%). It also contains p-cymene (9–15%) and thymol (3–5%).

Oregano is native to the Mediterranean, but it is now grown in warm and moderate climates around the world.

Due to its high phenolic content, oregano oil is purported to have an antimicrobial effect. Oregano oil is also especially suitable for animals with sensitive digestive systems, such as chickens and pigs.

Oregano oil is also known for its anti-oxidative properties.

In addition, oregano oil can stimulate the appetite, thus leading to improved feed consumption. It is also used to support intesti-nal activity. The digestive organs are stimulated by the oil, thus increasing the secretion of gastric juices and bile.
