Analytical method

( 1 )

For the determination of riboflavin in the feed additive:

—

High Performance Liquid Chromatography with Fluorescence detection (HPLC-FLD);

or

—

High Performance Liquid Chromatography with UV detection (HPLC-UV) — VDLUFA Bd. III, 13.9.1.

For the determination of riboflavin in premixtures:

—

High Performance Liquid Chromatography with UV detection (HPLC-UV) — VDLUFA Bd. III, 13.9.1.

For the determination of riboflavin (as total vitamin B2) in compound feed:

—

High Performance Liquid Chromatography with Fluorescence detection (HPLC-FLD) — EN 14152.

All animal species

1.

The directions for use of the additive and premixture shall indicate the storage conditions, the stability to heat treatment.

2.

For users of the additive and premixtures, feed business operators shall establish operational procedures and organisational measures to address potential risks. Where those risks cannot be eliminated by such procedures and measures, the additive and premixtures shall be used with appropriate personal protective equipment, including breathing protection.
