For the determination of endo-1,4-beta-glucanase activity in the feed additive, premixtures and compound feeds: 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. For the determination of xyloglucan-specific endo-beta-1,4-glucanase activity in the feed additive, premixtures and compound feeds: colorimetric method based on the quantification of soluble dyed labelled fragments produced by the action of xyloglucan-specific endo-beta-1,4-glucanase on xyloglucan substrate. Poultry for fattening Poultry reared for laying and reared for breeding Ornamental birds - Endo-1,4-beta-xylanase 1 500 EPU Endo-1, 4-beta-glucanase 100 CU Xyloglucan-specific endo-beta-1,4-glucanase 100 XGU - 1. In the directions for use of the additive and premixture, the storage conditions and stability to heat 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 by such procedures and measures, the additive and premixtures shall be used with personal breathing and skin protective equipment. 6.7.2033 ( 1 ) One xylanase unit (EPU) is the amount of enzyme which liberates 0,0083 micromoles of reducing sugars (xylose equivalents) from oat spelt xylan per minute at pH 4,7 and 50 °C. ( 2 ) One glucanase unit (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. ( 3 ) One xyloglucanase unit (XGU) is the amount of enzyme that releases low-molecular fragments from dyed xyloglucan in the amount equal to the amount of such fragments liberated from 1 unit enzyme standard under the conditions of the assay (50 °C and pH 4,5).
