Angelica Pubescens (Angelica Root) - Feed Ingredient

Angelica pubescens, commonly referred to as angelica root or “Du Huo” in traditional Chinese medicine, is a perennial herb native to East Asia. The root of the plant is used for its aromatic and bioactive constituents, including coumarins, essential oils, and polysaccharides.

In equine nutrition, angelica root is not a conventional feed ingredient but may appear in herbal or traditional formulations, especially those aimed at supporting joint, muscular, or respiratory function. Its inclusion is typically in dried or powdered extract form.
