Granulated form Characterisation of active substance Eugenol (2-methoxy-4-(2-propenyl)phenol, 4-allyl-2-methoxyphenol, 4-allylguaiacol.) (99,5 %); CAS no 97-53-0 C 10 H 12 O 2 Analytical method ( 1 ) For the quantification of eugenol in the feed additive and feedingstuffs: — Gas Chromatography coupled to a Flame Ionization Detector (GC-FID) Chickens for fattening — 100 100 1. In the directions for use of the additive and premixture, the storage conditions and stability to heating treatment shall be indicated. 2. For users of the additive and premixtures, feed business operators shall establish operational procedures and organisational measures to address potential risks resulting from their use. Where those risks cannot be eliminated or reduced to a minimum by such procedures and measures, the additive and premixtures shall be used with personal protective equipment. 3.
