欧盟批准一种制剂作为鸡饲料添加剂

       据欧盟网站消息，8月25日欧盟发布法规（EU）2015/1426，批准一种苯甲酸、百里香酚、丁香油酚和胡椒碱制剂作为鸡育肥和产蛋、小型禽类育肥和产蛋的饲料添加剂使用。

    这种制剂在添加剂种类上属于“畜牧添加剂”，功能组上属于“其他畜牧添加剂”。添加剂和预混合物的使用说明中应标出贮藏条件和造粒过程中的稳定性，不应与其他来源的苯甲酸或苯甲酸酯混合使用，使用时应注意防护。

    部分原文报道如下：

    The European Food Safety Authority （‘the Authority’） concluded in its opinions of 7 March 2012 （2） and 28 October 2014 （3） that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of benzoic acid, thymol, eugenol and piperine does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment, and that it has a potential to improve feed to gain ratio in chickens for fattening. It also considered that this conclusion could be extended to chickens reared for laying. Since the mode of action can be assumed to be the same in all poultry species, this conclusion can be extrapolated to include the minor poultry species for fattening and reared for laying. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation （EC） No 1831/2003.
