Functional group: digestibility enhancers. 4a1616 Huvepharma NV Endo-1,4-beta-glucanase EC 3.2.1.4 Additive composition: Preparation of endo-1,4-beta-glucanase (EC 3.2.1.4) produced by Trichoderma citrinoviride Bisset (IM SD142) with a minimum activity of 2 000 CU ( 1 ) /g (solid and liquid form). Characterisation of the active substance: Endo-1,4-beta-glucanase (EC 3.2.1.4) produced by Trichoderma citrinoviride Bisset (IM SD142). Analytical method ( 2 ) : For the determination of endo-1,4-beta-glucanase in feed additive, premixtures and feedingstuffs: — colorimetric method based on the quantification of water soluble dyed fragments (azurine) produced by the action of endo-1,4-beta-glucanase on azurine-crosslinked cellulose. Chickens for fattening and minor poultry species for fattening — 500 CU — 1. In the directions for use of the additive and premixture, indicate the storage conditions and stability to pelleting. 2. For safety: breathing protection, glasses and gloves shall be used during handling. 3. For use in weaned piglets until approximately 35 kg. 31 December 2025 Weaned piglets 350 CU ( 1 ) 1 CU is the amount of enzyme that liberates 0,128 micromoles of reducing sugars (glucose equivalents) from barley beta-glucan per minute at pH 4,5 and 30 °C.
