of 29 August 2006

concerning the permanent authorisations of certain additives in feedingstuffs

(Text with EEA relevance)

Article 1

The preparation belonging to the group ‘Enzymes’, as specified in Annex I, is authorised without a time-limit as additive in animal nutrition under the conditions laid down in that Annex.

Article 3

The preparation belonging to the group ‘Enzymes’, as specified in Annex III, is authorised without a time-limit as additive in animal nutrition under the conditions laid down in that Annex.

Article 4

This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Recommended dose per kg of complete feedingstuff: — endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase: 250 U — endo-1,4-beta-xylanase: 400 U — alpha-amylase: 1 000 U. 3. For use in compound feed containing cereals rich in starch and non-starch polysaccharides (mainly arabinoxylans and beta-glucans), e.g. containing more than 50 % barley. 4. For weaned piglets up to approximately 35 kg.	Without a time-limit
Endo-1,4-beta-xylanase: 400 U	—

(¹)1 U is the amount of enzyme which liberates 1 micromole of reducing sugars (glucose equivalents) from barley beta-glucan per minute at pH 5,0 and 30 °C. (²)1 U is the amount of enzyme which liberates 1 micromole of reducing sugars (xylose equivalents) from oat spelt xylan per minute at pH 5,3 and 50 °C. (³)1 U is the amount of enzyme which hydrolyses 1 micromole of glucosidic linkages from a water insoluble cross-linked starch polymer substrate per minute at pH 6,5 and 37 °C.
