食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊  2019年12月2日，據(jù)歐盟食品安全局（EFSA）消息，應(yīng)歐盟委員會要求，歐盟動物飼料添加劑和產(chǎn)品（FEEDAP）研究小組就牛至精油（essential oil of Origanum vulgare ssp. hirtum （link） leetsw.）作為所有動物物種的感官飼料添加劑的安全性和有效性發(fā)表科學(xué)意見。

 

　　經(jīng)過評估，專家小組認(rèn)為在建議使用水平下該飼料添加劑對目標(biāo)物種是安全的。由于牛至及其制劑能夠作為食物調(diào)味料，而且它們在飼料中的功能基本相同，因此不需要進(jìn)一步證明該添加劑的功效性。

　　Following a request from the European Commission, the Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed （FEEDAP） was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on an essential oil extracted from Origanum vulgare ssp. hirtum （link） Ietsw. when used as a sensory feed additive for all animal species. Analysis of the oil identified 13 components accounting for > 99% of the oil, with carvacrol being the prevalent （78%）。 The FEEDAP Panel concludes that the proposed use level of 150 mg/kg complete feed is safe for ornamental fish. For the other species, the calculated maximum safe concentration of the essential oil in complete feed was 22 mg/kg for chickens for fattening, 33 mg/kg for laying hens, 30 mg/kg for turkeys for fattening, 40 mg/kg for piglets, 48 mg/kg for pigs for fattening, 63 mg/kg for sows, 57 mg/kg for dairy cows, 100 mg/kg for veal calves, 88 mg/kg for cattle for fattening, sheep, goats and horses, 35 mg/kg for rabbits, 101 mg/kg for salmonids, 106 mg/kg for dogs, and 18 mg/kg for cats. No concerns for consumer safety were identified following the use of the additive up to the maximum safe concentration in feed. The additive is considered as irritant to skin and eyes and a potential skin and respiratory sensitiser. Use in animal husbandry of the essential oil extracted from O. vulgare ssp. hirtum is not expected to pose a risk for the environment. Since oregano and its preparations are recognised to flavour food and their function in feed would be essentially the same, no further demonstration of efficacy is considered necessary for the essential oil.
