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 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 4a6 DSM Nutritional Products Ltd represented by DSM Nutritional products Sp. Z o.o 6-phytase EC 3.1.3.26 Additive composition Preparation of 6-phytase produced by Aspergillus oryzae (DSM 17594) having a minimum activity of: Coated form: 10 000 FYT ( 1 ) /g Other solid form: 50 000 FYT/g Liquid form: 20 000 FYT/g Characterisation of the active substance 6-phytase produced by Aspergillus oryzae (DSM 17594) Analytical method ( 2 ) Colorimetric method based on reaction of vanadomolybdate on inorganic phosphate produced by action of 6-phytase on a phytate-containing substrate (sodium phytate) at pH 5,5 and 37 °C, quantified against a standard curve from inorganic phosphate. Sows — 1 500 FYT — 1. In the directions for use of the additive and premixture, indicate the storage temperature, storage life, and stability to pelleting. 2. For use in feed containing more than 0,23 % phytin-bound phosphorus. 3. For safety: breathing protection, glasses and gloves shall be used during handling. 26 November 2020 ( 1 ) One FYT is the amount of enzyme that releases 1 μmol of inorganic phosphate from sodium phytate per minute under reaction conditions with a phytate concentration of 5,0 mM at pH 5,5 and a temperature of 37 °C during 30 minutes incubation.
