Εndo-1,4-beta-xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8)

Additive composition

Preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Komagataella phaffii CGMCC 7.371 having a minimum activity of 30 000 U  ( 1 ) /g.

Liquid or solid form.

Characterisation of the active substance

Εndo-1,4-beta-xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) produced by Komagataella phaffii CGMCC 7.371.

Analytical method

( 2 )

For the determination of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase in the feed additive, premixtures and compound feed: colorimetric method based the enzymatic reaction of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase on the azurine cross-linked wheat arabinoxylan substrate.

All laying poultry

Suckling piglets

Weaned piglets

Piglets of minor porcine species (suckling and weaned)

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 the 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.
