ANNEX

Identification number of the additive Name of the holder of authorisation 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
Selenium in mg/kg of complete feed with a moisture content of 12 %
Category of nutritional additives. Functional group: compounds of trace elements
3b810 Selenised yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-3060, inactivated Additive composition Preparation of organic selenium: Content of selenium: 2 000 to 2 400 mg Se/kg Organic selenium > 97 to 99 % of total selenium Selenomethionine > 63 % of total selenium All species 0,50 (total) 1. The additive shall be incorporated into feed in the form of a premixture. 2. The directions for use of the additive and premixtures shall indicate the storage and stability conditions. 3. For users of the additive and premixtures, feed business operators shall establish operational procedures and organisational measures to address potential risks by inhalation. 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. 4. Maximum supplementation with organic selenium: 0,2 mg Se/kg of complete feed with a moisture content of 12 %. 9 June 2029
Characterisation of the active substance Selenomethionine produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-3060 Chemical formula: C5H11NO2Se
Analytical method (1): For the determination of selenomethionine in the feed additive: — reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography with UV detection (RP-HPLC-UV) or — high performance liquid chromatography and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (HPLC-ICPMS) after triple proteolytic digestion. For the determination of total selenium in the feed additive: — inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) or — inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS). For the determination of total selenium in premixtures, compound feed and feed materials: — hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry (HGAAS) after microwave digestion (EN 16159:2012).
3b810i Selenised yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-3060, inactivated Additive composition Preparation of organic selenium: Content of selenium 3 000 -3 500 mg Se/kg Organic selenium > 97 to 99 % of total selenium Selenomethionine > 63 % of total selenium All species 0,50 (total) 1. The additive shall be incorporated into feed in the form of a premixture. 2. The directions for use of the additive and premixtures shall indicate the storage and stability conditions. 3. For users of the additive and premixtures, feed business operators shall establish operational procedures and organisational measures to address potential risks by inhalation. 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 breathing protection. 4. Maximum supplementation with organic selenium: 0,2 mg Se/kg of complete feed with a moisture content of 12 %. 5. The dusting potential of the additive shall ensure a maximal Se exposure of 0,2 mg Se/m3 9 June 2029

All species 0,50 (total) 1. The additive shall be incorporated into feed in the form of a premixture. 2. For users of the additive and premixtures, feed business operators shall establish operational procedures and organisational measures to address potential risks by inhalation, dermal, mucosae or eye contact. 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 breathing protection, safety glasses and gloves. 3. In the directions for use of the additive and premixtures, indicate the storage and stability conditions. 4.
