Characterisation of the active substance

Endo-1,4-beta-mannanase (EC 3.2.1.78) produced with Thermothelomyces thermophilus DSM 33149

Analytical method

( 2 )

For the determination of the endo-1,4-beta-mannanase activity in the feed additive, premixtures and compound feed:

—

Enzymatic hydrolysis of dyed carob galactomannan with endo-1,4-beta-mannanase followed by photometry.

All poultry species for fattening

Ornamental birds

-

800 TMU

-

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.
