Peppermint Leaves - Feed Ingredient

Peppermint Leaves are the dried foliage of the peppermint plant (Mentha piperita), known for their high content of essential oils such as menthol and menthone. These compounds give the leaves their characteristic cooling sensation and strong, refreshing aroma. The leaves are harvested, dried, and sometimes lightly ground to create a product that retains its volatile compounds in a stable form.

In equine nutrition, peppermint leaves are used primarily as a flavoring agent. Their distinctive aroma can help enhance feed palatability, encouraging feed intake in horses.
