#32026R1013EU authorises Novozymes 6-phytase feed additive for laying poultry and pigs
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This regulation authorises a 6-phytase enzyme preparation made with Aspergillus oryzae DSM 33737 as a feed additive for poultry kept for laying or reproduction, piglets, pigs for fattening, and pigs reared for reproduction. The additive is classed as a digestibility enhancer and may be used at a minimum level of 200 FYT per kilogram of complete feed. Feed businesses using the additive must include storage conditions and heat-treatment stability in the instructions. They also need procedures to manage user safety risks, and where those are not enough, protective eye equipment for solid forms, plus breathing and skin protection, must be used. The authorisation runs until 28 May 2036.

Key Changes
- Authorises 6-phytase produced with Aspergillus oryzae DSM 33737 as a digestibility-enhancing feed additive for laying or reproductive poultry and several pig categories.
- Sets a minimum use level of 200 FYT per kilogram of complete feed for the authorised animal categories.
- Requires feed businesses to provide storage and heat-stability instructions and to manage worker safety risks, including protective equipment where needed.
Obligations
What this law requires
Use the preparation of 6-phytase produced with Aspergillus oryzae DSM 33737 as a feed additive only for the authorised animal categories: poultry for laying or reproduction, piglets of porcine species, porcine species for fattening, and porcine species reared for reproduction, under the Annex conditions.
Ensure the additive is used at a minimum content of 200 FYT per kilogram of complete feed with a moisture content of 12% for the authorised animal categories.
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 resulting from their use.
Where operational procedures and organisational measures cannot eliminate user risks, ensure the additive and premixtures are used with personal protective equipment for breathing and skin protection, and with eye protection for the two solid formulations.
