The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘digestibility enhancers’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
ANNEX Identification number of the additive Name of the holder of authorisation Additive (trade name) Composition, chemical formula, description, analytical method Species or category of animal Maximum age Minimum content Maximum content Other provisions End of period of authorisation Units of activity/kg of complete feedingstuff with a moisture content of 12 % Category of zootechnical additives. Functional group: digestibility enhancers. 4a1606 Beldem SA endo-1,4-beta- xylanase EC 3.2.1.8 (Belfeed B1100MP Belfeed B1100ML) Additive composition Preparation of endo-1,4-beta- xylanase EC 3.2.1.8 having a minimum of activity solid and liquid form 100 IU ( 1 ) /g or ml Characterisation of the active substance endo-1,4-beta-xylanase EC 3.2.1.8 produced by Bacillus subtilis (LMG S-15136) Analytical method ( 2 ) Colorimetric method measuring water soluble dye released by the enzyme from azurine crosslinked wheat arabinoxylan substrate Ducks — 10 IU — 1. In the directions for use of the additive and premixture, indicate the storage temperature, storage life and stability to pelleting. 2. Recommended dose per kg of complete feedingstuffs: endo-1,4-beta-xylanase: 10 IU 3. For use in compound feed rich in non-starch polysaccharides (mainly arabinoxylans), e.g. containing more than 40 % wheat. 4. If the product is handled or mixed in a confined atmosphere, it is recommended to use safety glasses and masks for mixing if the mixers are not equipped with exhaust systems. 2.4.2017 ( 1 ) One IU is the amount of enzyme which liberates 1 micromole of reducing sugars (xylose equivalents) from birchwood xylan per minute at pH 4,5 and 30 o C.
