Analytical method(2)		1. For quantification of total manganese in the feed additive and premixtures:
		Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) in accordance with international standard BS EN ISO 6869:2000 entitled “Animal feeding stuffs. Determination of the contents of calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, sodium and zinc. Method using atomic absorption spectrometry”(3); Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometry, (ICP-AES) in accordance with European standard EN 15510:2017 entitled “Animal feeding stuffs. Methods of sampling and analysis. Determination of calcium, sodium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, cobalt, molybdenum and lead by ICP-AES”(4) (for premixtures and feed only); or Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometry after pressure digestion (ICP-AES) in accordance with European standard EN 15621:2017 entitled “Animal feeding stuffs: Methods of sampling and analysis – Determination of calcium, sodium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, sulphur, iron, zinc, copper, manganese and cobalt after pressure digestion by ICP-AES”(5).
		2. For quantification of total manganese in feed materials and compound feed:
		Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) – Commission Regulation (EC) No. 152/2009 laying down the methods of sampling and analysis for the official control of feed (Annex 4-C)(6); Atomic Absorption Spectrometry, AAS in accordance with international standard BS EN ISO 6869:2001; Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometry, (ICP-AES) in accordance with European standard EN 15510:2017 entitled “Animal feeding stuffs. Methods of sampling and analysis. Determination of calcium, sodium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, cobalt, molybdenum and lead by ICP-AES” (for premixtures and feed only); or Inductively Coupled Plasma – Atomic Emission Spectrometry after pressure digestion, ICP-AES (EN 15621).
		3. For quantification of lysine and glutamic acid in the feed additive:
		Ion exchange chromatography coupled with post-column derivatisation and photometric detection (IEC-VIS).
		4. For proving the chelated structure of the feed additive:
		Mid-infrared (IR) spectrometry together with the determination of the content of trace element and lysine and glutamic acid in the feed additive.
