| 4a29 | Elanco GmbH | Endo-1,4-beta-mannanase EC 3.2.1.78 | Additive composition Preparation of endo-1,4-beta-mannanase produced by Paenibacillus lentus (DSM 28088) having a minimum activity of: — 1,6 × 108 U (1)/kg solid form; — 5,9 × 108 U/L liquid form. Characterisation of the active substance endo-1,4-beta-mannanase produced by Paenibacillus lentus (DSM 28088) Analytical methods (2) For the quantification of endo-1,4-beta-mannanase in the feed additive, premixtures and feedingstuffs: colorimetric methods based on enzymatic hydrolysis and the reaction of reducing sugars (mannose equivalent) with 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) | Chickens for fattening Chickens reared for laying Minor poultry species other than laying birds | — | 32 000 U | — | 1. In the directions for use of the additive and premixtures, the storage conditions and stability 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 potential risks to their use. Where those risks cannot be eliminated or reduced to a minimum by such procedures and measures, the additive and premixtures shall be used with personal protective equipment including skin and breathing protections. 3. For use in weaned piglets until approximately 35 kg. | 8 November 2028 |
