Spearmint Oil - Feed Ingredient
Spearmint Oil is an essential oil extracted from the leaves and flowering tops of the Mentha spicata plant, a member of the mint family. The oil is obtained primarily through steam distillation and is characterized by its high content of carvone, along with other volatile compounds such as limonene and menthol. It has a sweet, mild mint aroma and is widely used for its flavoring, aromatic, and functional properties.
In equine nutrition, Spearmint Oil is used as a natural flavoring agent and digestive aid. Its strong, pleasant scent can enhance palatability, encouraging feed intake, especially in picky eaters or during times of stress or dietary transition.
