Fodder additive for the keeping of small animals and a process for the improvement of the meat quality

摘要

A fodder additive consists of at least two different vegetable aromatic substances, optionally compounds contained in other vegetable aromatic substances and/or the components thereof, and optionally taste improvers. This fodder additive is administered to small animals, especially poultry and rabbits, in such a quantity that the animals take up the additive in a quantity of 10-400 mg per kg of body weight. Thus the stale flavour typical for poultry bred in intensive keeping and a possible unpleasant after-taste are eliminated. The meat tastes similarly to that of poultry kept 'free range' i.e., in yards and gardens.
