Anise - Feed Ingredient
Anise (Pimpinella anisum) is an aromatic plant whose seeds are commonly used as a flavoring agent and herbal ingredient in animal feed. It contains anethole, a natural compound responsible for its distinct licorice-like aroma and taste.
In equine nutrition, anise is often included in feed and supplements to enhance palatability, encouraging feed consumption in picky eaters. It has been traditionally used in herbal formulations, but its primary role in horse feeds is as a natural flavor enhancer. Anise is generally well-tolerated, though its inclusion is typically in small amounts due to its strong flavor profile.
The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain Anise as an ingredient.
