#32026R1016EU renews and expands authorisation for poultry feed enzyme additive
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This regulation renews the EU authorisation for a feed enzyme additive used in poultry nutrition and expands its use to additional breeding and laying poultry categories. The additive, held by Adisseo France S.A.S., is treated as a digestibility enhancer for poultry feed. Feed additive producers, premix manufacturers, feed businesses and poultry producers can continue using the additive under the updated conditions. Operators must label and use it according to the annex, include storage and heat-stability information, and protect workers because the product may cause skin or respiratory sensitisation.

Obligations
What this law requires
Use the authorised preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase and endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase produced with Talaromyces versatilis IMI 378536 and DSM 26702 only for poultry species/categories covered by the renewed or new authorisation and subject to the Annex conditions.
Ensure complete poultry feed containing the additive provides at least 1,100 VU endo-1,4-beta-xylanase and 760 VU endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase per kg of complete feed with 12% moisture content.
Indicate the storage conditions and stability to heat treatment in the directions for use of the additive and premixtures.
Establish operational procedures and organisational measures for users of the additive and premixtures to address potential risks from use of the additive.
Where worker risks from use of the additive or premixtures cannot be eliminated or reduced to a minimum by procedures and organisational measures, use personal protective equipment including breathing protection and skin protection.
