Draft Commission Implementing Regulation concerning the authorisation of guanidinoacetic acid and a preparation of guanidinoacetic acid as feed additives for chickens reared for breeding and chickens reared for laying in feed and in water for drinking, and chickens for fattening in water for drinking (holder of authorisation: Alzchem Trostberg GmbH), and correcting and amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1768 |
| Summary |
The draft act concerns the authorisation of guanidinoacetic acid, in the form of a substance and of a preparation, as a feed additive for chickens reared for breeding and chickens reared for laying (for use in feed and in water for drinking) and for chickens for fattening (for use in water for drinking). The draft act also corrects and amends the existing authorisation of that additive (for use in feed for chickens for fattening, pigs for fattening and weaned piglets) in order to re-allocate it to the category of 'zootechnical additives' instead of 'nutritional additives', on the basis of the EFSA opinions of 28 September 2022 and 27 January 2016. The draft act also specifies the composition of the additive in the form of a preparation.
modifications of the existing authorisation, in particular the re-allocation of the additive to the category of 'zootechnical additives', triggering a holder-specific authorisation status. That transitional period would end on the expiry date of the existing authorisation (25 October 2026).
