#32026R1037EU authorises Enterococcus lactis NCIMB 10415 as a silage feed additive
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This regulation authorises a preparation of Enterococcus lactis NCIMB 10415 for use as a silage additive in feed for all animal species. It can be used to improve silage fermentation and quality, with a minimum dose of 1 × 10⁸ CFU per kilogram of fresh plant material when used alone. Feed additive producers, premix makers and feed businesses must include storage conditions in use instructions. They must also manage worker exposure risks because the additive may irritate eyes and can cause skin or respiratory sensitisation. If procedures cannot remove those risks, users must wear skin, eye and breathing protection.
