ANNEX The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 554/2008 is replaced by the following: ‘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 4a5 AB Enzymes GmbH 6-phytase EC 3.1.3.26 Additive composition Preparation of 6-phytase EC 3.1.3.26 produced by Pichia pastoris (DSM 15927) having a minimum activity of: Solid form: 2 500 FTU/g ( 1 ) Liquid form: 5 000 FTU/ml Characterisation of the active substance 6-phytase EC 3.1.3.26 produced by Pichia pastoris (DSM 15927) Analytical method ( 2 ) Colorimetric method based on reaction of vanadomolybdate on organic phosphate produced by reaction on a phytate-containing substrate (sodium phosphate) at pH 5,5 and 37 °C. Chickens for fattening — 500 FTU — 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 kilogram of complete feedingstuff: — chickens for fattening: 500-2 500 FTU, — laying hens: 250-2 000 FTU, — ducks for fattening: 250-2 000 FTU, — turkeys for fattening: 500-2 700 FTU, — piglets (weaned): 100-2 500 FTU. 3. For use in compound feed containing more than 0,25 % phytin-bound phosphorus. 4. For use in weaned piglets up to approximately 35 kg. 5. For safety: breathing protection glasses and gloves shall be used during handling. 8.7.2018 Laying hens — 250 FTU — Ducks for fattening — 250 FTU — Turkeys for fattening — 500 FTU — Piglets (weaned) — 100 FTU — ( 1 ) 1 FTU is the amount of enzyme which liberates 1 micromole of inorganic phosphate per minute from sodium phytate at pH 5,5 and 37 °C.
