Fennel - Feed Ingredient

Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is a flowering plant species in the carrot family, cultivated for its aromatic seeds and foliage. Both the seeds and the aerial parts of the plant are used in herbal and feed applications, either in whole, ground, or extract form. Fennel seeds contain essential oils, primarily anethole, along with flavonoids and other phytochemicals that contribute to its aromatic and functional properties.

In equine nutrition, fennel is typically included in herbal blends or specialty supplements. It is valued for its natural flavoring properties, which can enhance feed palatability. Historically, fennel has been associated with traditional uses in digestive support and respiratory function, although scientific research on its efficacy in horses is limited.

The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain Fennel as an ingredient.
