Additive composition
Preparation of endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase (EC 3.2.1.6) and endo-1,4-beta-xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) produced with Talaromyces versatilis IMI CC 378536 having a minimum activity of:
—
solid form: endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase 30 000 VU ( 1 ) /g and endo-1,4-beta- xylanase 22 000 VU/g;
—
liquid form: endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase 7 500 VU/ml and endo-1,4- beta-xylanase 5 500 VU/ml.
Characterisation of the active substance
Endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase (EC 3.2.1.6) and endo-1,4-beta-xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) produced with Talaromyces versatilis IMI CC 378536
Analytical method
( 2 )
For the quantification of endo-1,3(4)- beta-glucanase activity in the feed additive, premixture and compound feed:
—
viscosimetric method based on decrease in viscosity produced by action of endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase on the glucan substrate barley betaglucan at pH = 5,5 and 30 °C.
For the quantification of endo-1,4-beta- xylanase activity in the feed additive, premixture and compound feed:
—
viscosimetric method based on decrease in viscosity produced by action of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase on the xylan containing substrate wheat arabinoxylan at pH = 5,5 and 30 °C.

In the directions for use of the additive and premixture, the storage conditions and stability to heat treatment shall be indicated.
2.
For use in sows from one week before farrowing until the end of the lactation period.
3.
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 (only for the solid formulations of the additive) protective equipment.

( 1 ) 1 VU of glucanase or xylanase activity is the amount of enzyme which hydrolyzes the substrate (barley betaglucan and wheat arabinoxylan, respectively), reducing the viscosity of the solution, to give a change in relative fluidity of 1 (dimensionless unit)/min at 30 °C and pH 5,5.
