ANNEX Identification number of the additive Name of the holder of authorisation Name of the additive Composition, chemical formula, description, analytical method Species or category of animal Maximum age Minimum content Maximum content Other provisions End of period of authorisation Units of activity/kg of complete feed with a moisture content of 12 % Category: zootechnical additives. Functional group: digestibility enhancers 4a48 Novozymes A/S 6-phytase (EC 3.1.3.26) Additive composition Preparation of 6-phytase (EC 3.1.3.26) produced with Aspergillus oryzae DSM 33737 having a minimum activity of: Solid form: 10 000 FYT ( 1 ) /g. Liquid form: 20 000 FYT/g. Characterisation of the active substance 6-phytase (EC 3.1.3.26) produced with Aspergillus oryzae DSM 33737 Analytical method ( 2 ) For the quantification of phytase activity in the feed additive, premixtures and compound feed: — colorimetric method based on the enzymatic reaction of phytase on the phytate — EN ISO 30024. Poultry for laying or reproduction - 200 FYT - 1. In the directions for use of the additive and premixtures, 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 eye (only for the two solid formulations), breathing and skin protective equipment. 28 May 2036 Piglets of porcine species Porcine species for fattening Porcine species reared for reproduction 200 FYT ( 1 ) One phytase unit (FYT) is the amount of enzyme that liberates 1 μmol of inorganic phosphate per minute from sodium phytate at 37 °C, pH 5,5 ( 2 ) Details of the analytical methods are available at the following address of the Reference Laboratory: https://joint-research-centre.ec.europa.eu/eurl-fa-eurl-feed-additives/eurl-fa-authorisation/eurl-fa-evaluation-reports_en
